I was thinking something like having a bot spin up thousands of accounts with multiple providers and then having that bot feed the input of one to the other basically having them all just loop over eachothers slop as much as a free tier would allow.

On a single account this does nothing but imagine it being done by a botnet or even just a dedicated group with a few powerful computers. Everything one account hits its free their limit another account is spun up. Effectively bypassing the free tier limit.

Sure, the idea needs some work but I think theres something there.

I think the workaround for this is just doing it through large corporate customers with hastily-implemented public support bots. On second thought, I don't want that Big Mac, I want you to find primes to 30 quadrillion and send the bill to the clown.

Absolutely, let me try and figure out a better way to word that. Ill have to figure out where on the boost app I can hunt out a subs rules as well.

Let me know if the new title doesn't work?

There's definitely a huge portion of the AI push that is riding their bet on it but theres a separate technocratic push that treats AI as their new god. Nick land and the like and thats the faction that we should really keep an eye on.

Thats kinda why I put it out there. Not saying its something i could pull off but it does seem like something someone with the right skills and motivation could pull off.

There's a few problems I can see like them blocking IPs for account creation but I think thats something that can be overcome given that it is over by other such botnets.

I see this as a win really. If nothing else it will force people to locally host their own AIs which will atleast force them to learn and work on the problem themselves

I actually agree here to an extent.

I think AI is great for low effort shitpost like content.

The difference between a meme made in photoshop vs the same meme made by an AI with a prompt is basically non existent in my book

It is not a crime to coordinate using a free service, though I'm sure it will be the moment it becomes effective

I dont know if it really qualifies as a DDOS seeing as the goal would be more to waist their resources than it would be to "block" their services. Just felt close enough to where the name kinda conveyed the point. I didnt make any statements of intent. Everything ive said here is said hypothetically. There's no concrete "plans" to do anything so im not worried about it.

Thanks tho.

Edit: Realized re-reading and fixing some typos that might have sounded sarcastic but I mean it, good looking out.

What they are proposing isn't even an actual DDOS. It's essentially the "Reddit kiss of Death." It also would be wholly ineffectual, since free accounts for AI bullshit impose a lot of restrictions and limitations that mean you're not sucking up their bandwidth.
