No, that's just embarrassing stuff. That stays on the web forever.

#24I found an old database backup of 0.mk on a disk I had kept. 0.mk started in 2009 as a passion project built by three of us. We worked on it for a few hours each week around our regular jobs. We eventually closed it in 2014 because the revenue (hint: no revenue) could not cover hosting, development, and the constant work of fighting spam and reviewing abuse. The recovered historical corpus contains 657,607 links. For…
How did you managed to obtain that domain? Usually single digit or letter domains are “reserved”.
.mk appears to allow for it: https://marnet.mk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/pravilnik-mk-mk...

The ENTIRE thing is AI generated. I'm not talking about the article. I'm talking about the entire website, the entire "product". https://0.mk/blog/zero-humans
Also it's super easy to tell by looking at it, way too many LLM-isms. No need for a AI checker tool.

#29The blog mentions "0.mk's revenue did not cover hosting" but then goes on to implement expensive AI integration. Not counting cost for tokens to do the development.

Is this dangerous? What about jailbreaking AIs and having it delete everyone's account?

> The name was registered in 2009 because it was the shortest URL possible: a zero, a dot, two letters. Seventeen years later the zero means something else.
