and apparently now i have to go through everything and change "NSO" and "NSO+EP" to "Nintendo Classics". Great. Yes. Thank you, giant multinational corporation, for making arbitrary changes to create more work for everyone with a website.

i suppose it would fall on deaf ears to ask the neocities site admins to use anubis wouldn't it.

feels like it. dude seems to like ai a lot himself.

i have comparatively little visual art on my site. I feel really sorry for all the dedicated visual artists with megabytes of pictures hosted here. To have all of that dumped into a funnel and forcefed to 100 different AI algorithms without a care in the world and distilled into mindless content makes me want to punch something.

ATP I've kind of just ... given up? Or accepted that my work is going to be fed to AI if I put it on the internet. I hate gen-AI and will never use it myself, but I don't want to degrade my work with "nightshade" or anti-AI filters and I'm not going to jump through hoops to avoid it getting scraped ... feels like losing a battle.

yknow... according to wikimedia, 68% of all traffic requests across all projects is from AI scrapers. plus the recent hitspikes on neocities. tbph it looks like existing models are being retrained or there's a new model coming out soon.

in the meantime though, some trustfunder sure is making it everyone else's problem.

heeheehe

ive always had suspicions against duolingo's morals but i just couldn't tell if i was biased against new popular things

I'm glad that they made the decision for me because I was going back and forth about returning.

Thank you so much! Your site is amazing, I will definitely be referring to some of your resources :D
