I meant in terms of hiding a particular user.
To me, blocking means “I don’t see $”. Not “$ doesn’t see me”. Ad blocking, script blocking, site blocking via DNS, etc is my mental model.

A browser plugin bringing the functionality back would probably do well.
If history is any indication, they will complain and no significant number of them will cancel.
Seeing as these ads will be targeted and of varying length, I wonder if a SponsorBlock-like extension with the ability to accept training data from users to help identify ads.
The Plex server application has a feature which scrubs videos and identifies intros so you can skip them like you can on Netflix. Wouldn’t it be sort of like that?
Seems like a good use of AI/ML.
Self hosted option is a docker image. Probably not difficult to set up.
If I get back into it, I’ll probably try out Bigscreen. I haven’t dug deep enough into it to know if it requires an account but I wouldn’t expect this one to require it.
I paid for lifetime in 2012. Worth it.
What’s your sample size, do you actually talk to many gen z
They aren’t the only ones to have noticed this issue.
If you asked them where they saved a photo on a smartphone…
“Where did you save the file” isn’t typically asked in the context of a smart phone. Maybe on Android more so than iOS.
The problem with your argument is that it is 100% possible to get ChatGPT to produce verbatim extracts of copyrighted works.
What method still works? I’d like to try it.
I have access to ChatGPT 4, and the latest Anthropic model.
Edit: hm… no answers but downvotes. I wonder why that is.
Guess if they pass we’ll see how they stand up to the 1st.
Ahh my mistake.
Might be time to financially contribute to IA.
It’s mentioned in the OP but it’s this:
https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveTeam_Warrior
Basically, distributed collection.
We get it, y’all hate LLMs and the companies who make them.
This comparison is disingenuous and I have to think you’re smart enough to know that, making this disinformation.
If/when an LLM like ChatGPT spits out a full copy of training text, that’s considered a bug and is remediated fairly quickly. It’s not a feature.
What IA was doing was sharing the full text as a feature.
As far as I know, there are some court cases pending regarding determining if companies like Open AI are guilty of copyright infringement but I haven’t seen any convictions yet (happy to be corrected here).
All that said, I love IA and have a Warrior container scheduled to run nightly to help contribute.
That’s a little different than what I mean.
I mean to run a single bot from a script which interacts a normal human amount during normal human times within a configurable time zone which is acting as a real person just to poison their dataset.
Also send this junk to Reddit comments to poison that data too because fuck Spez?
Yeah that was fun times.
Luckily, thanks to using docker, it was easy enough to “pin” a working version in the compose file while I figured out what just broke.
For everyone’s reference, here’s my fstab to give you an idea of what works with linuxserver.io’s qbittorrent

I do this with mergerfs.
I then periodically use their prewritten scripts to move things off the cache and to the backing drives.
I should say it’s not really caching but effectively works to take care of this issue. Bonus since all that storage isn’t just used for cache but also long term storage. For me, that’s a better value proposition.
As a sysad, I’ll sign onto this.
That’s how Reddit used to work until they made the idiotic change (IMO) to go the other way. A blockee loses the ability to even participate in any thread/post started by the blocker.
For example, after the change if I blocked you now, you wouldn’t be able to respond to me or anyone else further down a thread I started.
This is a boon to bullshitters, disinformation campaigns, etc since those people could just post their bullshit and then block anyone who attempted to call them out.
