This is the part implying that there is nothing worth doing:

A handful of users obfuscating their posts is not going to do anything.

    Have you heard of implication? Here are two definitions of "imply", from https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/imply:

    transitive verb

    1

    : to express indirectly

    Her remarks implied a threat.

    The news report seems to imply his death was not an accident.

    2

    : to involve or indicate by inference, association, or necessary consequence rather than by direct statement

    rights imply obligations

    Thank you.

    Reading truly is fundamental.

    Please explain how "this isn't effective, but does negatively impact regular people" is the same as "don't fight back".

    I'd love to hear this explanation. Please. Enlighten me.

    Edit: I will take your downvote as your response then.

    Personally I find it weird that you're simultaneously mad that people are saying "Don't fuck over regular people" while simultaneously seeming to argue against fighting capitalism itself by trying to repeatedly reframe this as an AI/LLM issue.

    I didn't downvote you lol.

    This is an AI LLM issue.

    Using disabled people as an excuse to discourage people from fighting isn't right, especially when no solutions are presented.

    The blogger also seems to live in a fantasy world where at the end they are all information that is publicly available will be free and in these nice LLMs and shit, to which I say that all sounds awesome!

    Are the governments and corporations currently building mass surveillance really going to allow people to do this once we all have to age verify our GDID windows PCs?

    I don't like where this is going and I've seen disabled people used in arguments by people who know nothing of their struggles my entire life.

    This is an AI LLM issue.

    How?

    Using disabled people as an excuse to discourage people from fighting isn't right, especially when no solutions are presented.

    So you dont care if disabled people are able to use screen readers? Clearly this is your message, right? Not just a bad interpretation of a simple sentence?

    The underlying message is, quite plainly, disabled people with screen readers don't matter. The potential to poison the tiniest sliver of a fraction of scrapes content is more important.

    I don't like where this is going and I've seen disabled people used in arguments by people who know nothing of their struggles my entire life.

    As someone with family members who used screen readers (among others), your dismissal of this very important use case tells me you know absolutely nothing of their struggles either, and that you are using the possible ignorance of someone else as a dismissal of an actual issue.

    We have quite literally had screen readers since the 1980s.

    I in no way insinuated that I do not care about disabled people, my own father lost his legs and I have dealt with the bullshit for decades, including the fact that disabled people, like any other marginalized group, are used to further shitty agendas and make bad faith arguments.

    Thank god for screen readers, so let's let LLM companies do whatever they want because we shouldn't fight, it's all pointless.

    At least your relatives will get the enshitification of the world read aloud to them 🤷‍♂️

    I'm just applying the same logic you did.

    How much impact do these fonts have for LLMs scraping data?

    Do you think the poisoning percentage will have any actual impact? Or do you think it would have an outsized effect on individuals?

    Thats the point the very first comment makes - this method sucks. It impacts real people with a real need, and the impact on llms is nothing. Discard data in training.

    Its meaningless, and the only real impact is people.

    You are the one reading that as "dont do anything!", which is the same energy as me replying to you with "why do you hate people with disabilities???".
