really considering moving this page over to Nekoweb now that I know Kyle Drake (this website's CEO) is *really* into generative AI shit... this little community is cool but I'm fucking *tired* of generative AI slop and the companies that support it

like I guess his opinions aren't *terrible*, he's buying into the self-driving AI bandwagon and a lot of his opinions boil down to "we should just embrace AI!!!", and he doesn't really say anything about generative AI shit like MidJourney? like he mainly talks about research and self driving cars
and also he's on the "chatgpt isn't *that* bad for the environment guys!!" bandwagon, sourcing a Substack article that seems a little... meh
honestly may end up moving to Nekoweb anyways because Neocities' WebDAV is *garbage*
I too am aware of that, but hate Nekoweb's editor and cutesy gimmick. Ran into Mr. Drake's blog post last year, assuming the one from 2023 is what you meant? (https://draggianuniverse.neocities.org/miscellanea/generativealgorithms) I don't use socials but AFAIK there isn't much from after 2023?
I guess if I just use WebDAV, I can avoid Nekoweb's stupid layout, but seeing as there has been thus far no overlap between Neocities and Mr. Drake's nonsense that I know of, I find a hard time being pressed to care. I'm allergic to "discourse".
he's posted some shit on bluesky, I don't think Neocities blocks genAI crawlers by default like Nekoweb does (in theory I'm blocking them by robots.txt)
i have my robots.txt set to block literally everything. i don't care about search engine numbers so I just block *.
