takes up less space, but space is only an concern if you run a site with large amount of data like imageboards, galleries or something like wikipedia.
How much can all the images of bulbapedia take up at the most? 8-15gb? It shouldn't be an issues for these small wikis to just use jpeg and png.

AI turned data scraping into an endemic internet problem, forcing website after website to implement these measures to avoid being DDoS'd to death. When 2020 came around, almost none of these websites had these checks, but once AI came along, I saw websites start to implement this one by one. If not Cloudflare, it'll just be Anubis. AI has a had profoundly negative effect on the internet and everyone who isn't a delusional tech-utopian richfag thoroughly regrets that Pandora's Box being opened.

It's because of LLM training bots. They rape sites, and wikis get particularly fucked in the ass because they have a bunch of different ways for users to pull data from their databases through hyperlinks (just look at all the dynamic links in pic rel, those are all going to be uncached requests from the database) and bots spam every single one nearly non-stop. You basically have to have some form of anti-bot measure in place to run a site nowadays thanks to AI.

>AI turned data scraping into an endemic internet problem
Did you know Deviantart, which has been free to browse without an account for 25 years, recently garden walled their site? Like every fucking place these days, you now need to log in.
They would claim data scraping to be sure, but its just to collect your data and sell you ads.
How much longer will it be before every aspect of internet culture is hid behind a login wall? What if 4chan ever did that? People would flip out...and then sign up.

Deviantart has always required an account to view anything not squeaky clean. The real example you're looking for is Twitter, which after getting bought by Muskrat aggressively locked down its API to the point it almost completely killed Nitter. The site now only keeps public the absolute bare minimum to be indexable by search engines. YouTube has also been going down this path and it's lead to an ever-increasing struggle for projects like Invidious and Freetube.

>>738692973
Yeah but Facebook did it, Insta, Twitter, all used to be free to browse. Now? Login.

>>738693012
>Deviantart has always required an account to view anything not squeaky clean.
I am aware of that anon.
But now when you visit a gallery or someones favorites, they have blocked the pagination with a login block. You can't browse the site. This happened about 10 or so days ago iirc.
And a while back they also made it so you could no longer search the site without an account too.
And yeah I hated Twitter for what that clown did and I loved Nitter it made browsing so much better.

But if someone attacked Cloudflare itself.
Half the fucking internet would go down because so many sites require you to clear checkpoints.

>Why does this shit need to be everywhere?
because AI scrapers are effectively ddosing websites. happened to me as well, I ended up banning the ip range, but I don't run a site big enough to warrant the attention of major crawlers.

it's developed by google. It had an security vulnerability that would allow someone to remote code execution.
https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-4863
It was apple who discover it not google themselves. Maybe an oversight by google or it was by design, because they wanted to exploit this themselves.
In sort lack of trust.

>>738693524
>Why don't we have webp support here?
because implementing isn't just adding it to a list of extensions. autists like that cp spammer guy running the proxy site is coming up with new ways to embed cp into posted files, so there would need to be a way to make sure webp files can be cleaned for it to be allowed.

look at the leaked source code, there's an asinine amount of effort put into making sure files can't contain embeds. jpg file headers are analyzed in hexadecimal notation for the image chunk size and if the file is 5% larger it will get blocked. same for png IDAT chunks. jpegs, webms and mp4s also get remuxed.
desuwa would need to find ways to do all of that with webp too, although I suppose you could remux it with ffmpeg maybe since webp is, from what I recall, a vp8 keyframe...

The third world happened.

Pretty much 99% of my job as a web admin now is dealing with thirdies and thirdie related bullshit. DDOS attempts, chink bot farms, sea bot farms (which are mostly chinks still), jeet shill groups, spam bots and worst of all is the constant data scraping, so much of web traffic is just bots data scraping which is why you're having to deal with cloudfare shit everywhere, and now AI data scraping is even fucking worse, again mostly out of china and india.

Encyclopedias are fine, and the loss of walkthroughs is more related to forums getting assfucked.

>>738694036
>save as webp and convert
You're missing the point man.
Those images should have never been converted to begin with.
At some point you're going to have image degradation.
I have plenty of OLD screencaps, old renders, promo art, for vidya and cartoons I grabbed off of fan sites ages ago in the 2000s. Much of that stuff is on fandom wikis now but now those oldschool files have been converted to webp.
One of those wiki sites allowed you to edit the image url and chop off the webp part to get the "original" file, but even that is a pain in the ass if you want to save alot. Always needing to view source the URL.
And the other wiki site just gives a 404 when you try and get around the webp.

The internet we grew up in is dead.

>>738694347
Just to be clear I mean those original jpgs and pngs from 20 years ago should not have been converted to webp for wiki use.
20 year old PNG, to webp, then you what, use an addon to make it back to PNG? Retarded, and now the file is modified.
Fucking stupid how decades ago when server space and bandwidth was a premium we posted jpgs and shit fine, but in the 2020s we need to start COMPRESSING everything with webp despite how much bigger storage is now.

GameFAQs was so great in the early 00s, it was like proto 4chan without image posting. It even had automated threat purging. I think I should still have an account that can access their purged insanity boards (LUE I think? Unless it got completely removed.).

Because bots and AI agents made by jeets keep scraping shit from other people's websites or being used for bot spam from the third world.
Same reason why catbox now blocks all datacenter and proxy IPs.

>>738698530
Well, they weren't. In the 00s some websites still had those visitor number banners that were more popular in the 90s. Then the "robots" came that are still referred as such in HTML rules that didn't really scrape everything constantly but just index the site once and only for the biggest search engines that had the money for an operation like that. Now everyone and their mother is spamming the internet with AI bots that not only scrape stuff for their own databanks but also spam searches all over the internet for every query.

>>738698530
>t. someone who's never run a site and knows nothing on the topic
Scrapers only scrap updated content pages, and (generally) respect robots.txt, while using a useragent to announce themselves. AI bots scrap literally fucking everything, over and over and over again and don't give a fuck, and will do it over thousands of IP addresses and multiple ASNs to make it extremely difficult to block.

Besides being able to retain the original metadata, it also helps distinguish between primary/full FAQs and partial ones that cover something specific like an item list only or a single character only guide. But I already said that:
>with the faqs being final_fantasy_vii_(letter).txt, and the rest being auxillary or partial guides.

so
>final_fantasy_vii_a.txt
>final_fantasy_vii_b.txt
>final_fantasy_vii_c.txt
...
>final_fantasy_vii_l.txt
are the primary "full" walkthroughs/guides on the site, and

>final_fantasy_vii_bone.gif
>final_fantasy_vii_glacier.png
>final_fantasy_vii_lists.txt
>final_fantasy_vii_missable.txt
are specific in-depth guides.
like, if I don't want a 800k guide to dig into but just a item list, this is helpful.

With the filenames dead you have to check 100 files named

the sad reality is, I think we're going to hit a point where the powers that be are going to spam so much of their worthless AI garbage and spread their retarded agents all over the internet so much that it's going to make the internet as a whole completely unusable without ID verification (which is what they want).
Your options will be being drowned out in endless AI noise or giving up your privacy and data so you can talk to actual people on the internet.
I'd like to imagine that this will just kill the internet as a whole, but who knows at this point.

Because it's a dogshit format that offers no actual benefits over the existing ones, unlike say webm.

I've been reading through so many dead, barely finished and even inaccurate minecraft mod wikis, and I'm genuinely curious why the modders are so bad at documenting their own mods. One of the wikis I was looking at was being mainly edited by someone who said he never played the mod himself and only watched youtubers play it. I write extensively detailed documents about mods I want to make that are way out of my scope right now, but someone who actually put the skill, hours and effort in coding, modeling, animating, debugging etc either gives no information or not enough information, so you have to rely on the aforementioned worthless wikis or 1-5 reply reddit threads from years ago where half the answers are "idk". These are mods with millions of downloads, and people can't answer basic questions about the mechanics. Is wiki autism mutually exclusive from the autism that drives you to actually create things to make a wiki about? Is this a gatekeeping or anti-spoonfeeding thing where you're supposed to dig through and analyze the code yourself if you want to know why x happens or how to do y?

Sorry for blogfagging. I guess this was what minecraft mod showcases were for, but they died off for the most part.

>>738691746
>Why does this shit need to be everywhere?
Scrapers assraping the internet for AI training data and automated LLM websearches.
Bots and random DDOSes already made cloudflare popular but LLMs really bulldozed the internet. You want to host that wiki now and you simply get choked to death by claude querying your site 900 times checking and re-checking what banjo kazooie's feet smell like to better roleplay with an autistic user.

Programming takes a long time and you forget what exactly you did a long time ago. And if you want to check, you just search the source code, because you obviously know how to read it. Documentation seems important, but for a personal project the intended audience is the person making it, and to that person documentation doesn't matter very much at all.

Being fair, there's a genuinely real chance that the mod developer is like, 13 and is literally just doing whatever.
Wasn't notch's code practically unreadable dogshit until 4j helped clean it up and write documentation for it?

>>738702401
Because you want to spend the time writing the code or modeling, or whatever. Writing up documentation is fucking BORING and tedious. Also, autismos put way more stock into things being completely intentional than the person who made it. It's like how nerds would over analyze the subtext of star wars scenes but george lucas probably just thought it was cool, or the endless lore discussions about any modern game. The dev said damage = (some mechanic), tested it for a few minutes, thought it seemed fine and moved on with their lives. So when you ask how does the mechanic work, they just don't remember or care

I used to write scrapers for a living, automated account balance checking for a fintech company because banks didnt have API's
there was so much work involved it was a full time job for 1 person to maintain ~10 scrapers, they'd break all the time and we'd be incentivized to have as little traffic as possible to avoid detection.
now anyone can make a scraper any time to do anything in seconds. The barrier to entry is through the floor, which means there's infinity more scrapers than before.

most countries will be making laws that ban AI scraping for news sites since AI summary makes news financially non viable. Is not fair business.
you can complain all you want about news sites being shit or biased but at the end of the day law will protect the one doing the labor. AI companies are not news outlets nor they do the job.
it would be different if AI companies will send people to investigate but they don't, and just like that many other businesses will complain. AI will be regulated. taxed to oblivion and so unable to operate for Free. No free people wont care and the whole market will collape.

Ai won't die but it wont be as accessible as it is now.

if you sell Gasoline2.0 that is cheaper and makes a car run faster. won't be seen fair or legal if in order to produce it you need to steal regular gas. you have to make your own or buy it.

again the original product can be the worst shit ever. you can't steal it.
the problem with news is that can't be trained. it has to be stolen daily because it cannot be predicted.

after that any company that tries to sell IA will be sued to hell If they don't show the receipts. random retard on internet don't have the resources to make AI scrapers and farm financially available either.

>>738707203
>IA
Oh you're ESL

>>738707203
More likely AI will be integrated into news services to manufacture news.

>>738702658
meshnets are pretty based
but the core problem, just like with tor and i2p, is that there needs to be someone adopting them and actually something worth sending there

The only good game wikis left that I know about are Dwarf Fortress and Terraria.

>>738707326
and that has a cost and sources from another place will demand their piece of the cake. costs will kill AI eventually because no one wants to pay. even less when all is becoming more expensive because of it. even scrapers are increasing server cost.

>>738703638
What even is the point of mp4 support, I tried it and the compression is just way worse than a decent webm

>>738707203
>AI will financially collapse as soon any law that prevent content stealing in any form.
I mean it's already financially insolvent, actually having litigation go through (because law as written literally all of this shit was illegal from the get go, and nobody wanted to deal with the trillion dollar game of chicken because copyright law is a fucking mess)

>>738707938
MP4 is not a format. is a container. the video that's inside can be different things unlike webp (1 type of image)
iirc MP4 support older codecs and x264,265,266,av1 an that's a lot more than webm. so MP4 can be a lot better than WEBM.

and no. you didn't try MP4 compression. you tried some video codec compression. who knows, maybe you used MPEG1 video codec. aka VCD quality and you didn't notice.

>>738708214
Well then you're going to have to enlighten me for free on optimizing my mp4s, I often have to double up on the same video for both 4chan and discord (game dev posting), h265 and av1 seems like my best options(?) but they always look way worse than my webms while taking up more space no matter how much I fiddle with cropping and resizing and bitrate

>>738708118
I know. what I mean Is just that. AI is just one law away from collapse. we all know law updates are not the fastest ones. I'm pretty sure somewhere some powerful retard is really tired of his shit being stolen.

>>738708406
maybe you're a retard expecting hardware encode to do a better job than software. AMF, NVENC or QUICkSYNC are just garbage only to be used for streaming. VP8 and VP9 most of the times are software encoded and their defaults are good.

IU'm no expert but when it comes to good encodes you need to set the profiles to the max and do more than 1 pass. even Xvid had 3pass compression. lower the framerate, resolution, amount of noise or colors. etc.

>>738708408
Literally the law as written it's illegal, already.
No new laws need to be written on the book, and this actually would be completely within the purview of legitimate copyright issues, unlike extra measures outside the scope of the copyright law that are written so fucking poorly that technically engaging with any media at all could be a felony offense.

>>738708568
new law where? where are the lawsuits. some shit will be taken as precedent eventually. no country wants their shit stolen. it could be japan, america, france, even TV channels from fucking chile are suing google.

>>738692189
My ISP is full of boomers with infected PCs, the CGNAT is flagged just trying to do all sorts of normal things.

>>738708663
>new law where?
Again, you illiterate fuck, it's already illegal, technically I'm pretty sure laws on the book "close enough" to be both new and specific to this kind of issue go as early as the first vocaloids.
>Where are the lawsuits
Nobody wants to rip the bandaid off on the fucked state of copyright law that can actually fight it in court and set precedent that's bad for both parties.

>>738692189
She's cute. Makes using invidious bareable.

>>738708780
vocaloid actors were paid just like every system that had text to speech. the issue is that AI is the blatant copyright infringement machine so the bandaid "will be" ripped even if they don't want it. it will happen. is just a matter of when. that's all I'm saying

>>738708952
Look I don't want to be mean but you're being so retarded right now it's pissing me off.

>>738709026

Just use the api via outh and gallery-dl.
It's infinite downloading for free, it might rate limit at times but just leave it do its job in the background it will even scrape the entire website.

Can the knowledge about generative ai be destroyed? Can it be prevented from being discovered again? I feel like your chud ideas of killing and destroying are not enough, you have to burn the books, make sure the idea never comes back even long after you are dead

Maybe we could rewrite history and mention an ai apocalypse, or add anti-ai into a major religion, those tend to last for a long time

>>738709460
>mention an ai apocalypse, or add anti-ai into a major religion
That might happen eventually like in Dune or 40k, but things have to run their course

>>738708730
CGNAT is the gayest shit ever, just learned recently that I was under it, but the story ends nicely, there was a toggle in my ISP account.
Now every website thinks I'm a bot and is suspicious of my v4 IP, but I'm raw open to the internet, and everything is up to me.
And there's a trick anyway if the internet sucks, Cloudflare Warp.
I route my v6 IP through their VPN, and that gives me a Cloudflare v4 IP as well, which is unblocked anywhere, lol, because of v6, which fewer people use, I always get the best route that's never overwhelmed.

>>738709460
AI training had an easy time scraping the web.
now is just more complex and filled with AI generated garbage and that's why many models perform worse than previous generations. maybe AI will never be as intelligent it is today.

do you guys remember boards.4chan.org/search or w/e its name was?
It was like find but usperior and by board.

>webp takes up less space
I have yet to see a website that serves webp to users, that doesn't also store the original file still on their server if you change the URL a little. So they're only doubling their storage use.

THis is true xD and it's so funny.
Also every modern browser uses the latest version of vp8 decoding libraries, so the exploit that glowies might've used to fuck with everyone is not even there, outside of very old devices.

copyright law isn't just a mess. it's written to completely contradict its purpose (allegedly encouraging learning, see statute of anne). copyright never made sense. not one bit. it was only conceived so stationers could buy manuscripts along with the rights off authors for pennies on the dollar (sell it to me or you won't get printed)

>>738697874
>blame those damn SEA and Indians for thinking catbox will protect them from glowies when it wont.
I'd imagine those places are too much of a shithole to even enforce such laws.

>>738709587
So does that mean they'll eventually start feeding off of eachother too much and do the AI equivalent of inbreeding? That might be hilarious to watch if so.

>>738711838
yeah. and they already do.
for example one of the reasons companies want ID verification is to get more human data. "le protect the children" is just an excuse to have an easier time avoiding bots.

It's genuinely incredible just how fast "AI" has completely fucking ruined the internet. A fucking glorified averages machine getting overvalued so hard it kills the fucking information age and potentially tanks the global economy.
