AI uBlock Blacklist

Re: AI uBlock Blacklist
#112A new more grounded list focused on specifically blocking content farms and similar low quality sites. A nice alternative to this very broad anti ai list: https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist Edit: Oh I should mention I found it through reddit and there is some good discussion there where they describe how they find stuff etc: https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1r9uo3j/autom...
Thanks, I added both lists

#113I'm the weirdo who just closes websites with too many ads, and just mostly powers through the ads. If you have a sane setup for ads I will use your website. I'm tired of the years of adblock drama. Every time I come to these threads its completely different names for adblock plugins, it's like a rat race.

The problem is that ads have often been vectors for malware.

#115I like the idea and even considered contributing to the list, but this stopped me: > NAQ (Never Asked Questions) > My website is on your list! > Cry about it. That's quite a suspicious attitude. Clearly the maintainer believes he is infallible. I understand the emotions behind this, but this is not how a public blacklist should be maintained.
Fork it then!

I would add that with this attitude and how new this initiative is, there's very little chance it will still be updated 5 years from now. Really this sort of thing needs to come from Easylist or similar, who have a track record of maintaining these for years.
I don't understand the need for the author to commit the rest of his life to this or start a foundation. It is a good list for now and if its never updated again, that seems fine.
If a blocklist doesn't get updated it is outdated in a week.
Some tools are useful without updates. A blocklist for AI content farms that are sprouting like crazy is not helpful if it isn't updated.

No, I'm not proposing to change nothing, continue as is, nor do I use coded language to express my secret inner racism. I'm saying that changing words like "blacklist" or "master" is purely performative and actually quite selfish. People do it to feel good about themselves for "helping" without actually having to do anything helpful. It's the moral equivalent of sending "thoughts and prayers".
I'm not saying that those who use these terms are racist. I'm saying that language evolves. If there are equivalent technical alternatives that don't carry a history of oppression, why not use them? It costs nothing and can make the environment more inclusive. This doesn't replace concrete actions, but it also doesn't prevent them from happening. If changing a word is "purely performative," then keeping it is also pu…
> It costs nothing
It cost time and coding work to make the change.

Right, makes sense for Danes, or other population where English knowledge is basically ubiquitous. But I'm think it might look differently in other places, if the choice is between "Badly translated but I can understand 95% of it" and "In a language I don't understand at all, maybe 1% I could figure out", then the choice might be a bit different.
nope, let the user does the translation, with his own choice of tool and being thus perfectly aware of the shortcomings. I know that some people translate my French posts to read them. That’s really cool. But I would never post something I didn’t write myself (but I use spellcheking tools. I even sometimes disagree with them)
> let the user does the translation
Not everyone can. Try going to rural Spain and handing out flyers in English and ask them to translate it themselves, 0% of the people will translate it themselves, it'll go straight into the trash. If you instead hand them something in a language they understand, there is a least a chance they'll read it, even though probably 5% will do so.
It's sometimes useful to understand that the world is much bigger and varied than what you experience locally, and what works for you and the people in one country, doesn't always work the same everywhere.

The broad list seems to just be a hater list. It's not trying to cover cases of deception (passing off AI material as if it's something else), as it includes sites which are very open about what kind of content is on there.
If my goal is not seeing AI slop, I don't particularly care whether it is honestly labelled or not.
Re: AI uBlock Blacklist
#120What happens if a legitimate site (forums, wiki, etc) gets mass-spammed with slop?
Registration process requiring a trivial task like "introduce yourself", 24 hour account activation delay, and email a one time login-code every time.
The bots and SEO spammers already fill sites with garbage =3
