My goodness, a new level of stupidity.
The bots are now doing things like this:
GET http://uninformativ.de/projects/lariza/feednotify/datenstrahler/slinp/countty HTTP/1.1
- That URL does not exist.
- By including
http://uninformativ.dein that request, this instructs the webserver to do an HTTP proxy request. Of course, this isnât allowed on my webserver (and shouldnât by allowed on any normal webserver), resulting in HTTP 400. And even if it were, the target would be the exact same server, making a proxy request unnecessary.
And of course, itâs not just 50 hits like this or 100 or 1â000 or 10â000. No, itâs over 150â000 in the last 2 days. All from vastly different IP ranges of different cloud hosters.
This almost looks like a DDoS attack, but itâs just completely stupid. This feels more like some idiot vibe coded a crawler.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Gemini liked your opinion very much. Here is how it countered:
1. The User Perspective (Untrustworthiness)The criticism of AI as untrustworthy is a problem of misapplication, not capability.
- AI as a Force Multiplier: AI should be treated as a high-speed drafting and brainstorming tool, not an authority. For experts, it offers an immense speed gain, shifting the work from slow manual creation to fast critical editing and verification.
- The Rise of AI Literacy: Users must develop a new skillâAI literacyâto critically evaluate and verify AIâs probabilistic output. This skill, along with improving citation features in AI tools, mitigates the âgaslightingâ effect.
The fear of skill loss is based on a misunderstanding of how technology changes the nature of work; itâs skill evolution, not erosion.
- Shifting Focus to High-Level Skills: Just as the calculator shifted focus from manual math to complex problem-solving, AI shifts the focus from writing boilerplate code to architectural design and prompt engineering. It handles repetitive tasks, freeing humans for creative and complex challenges.
- Accessibility and Empowerment: AI serves as a powerful democratizing tool, offering personalized tutoring and automation to people who lack deep expertise. While dependency is a risk, this accessibility empowers a wider segment of the population previously limited by skill barriers.
The legal and technical flaws are issues of governance and ethical practice, not reasons to reject the core technology.
- Need for Better Bot Governance: Destructive scraping is a failure of ethical web behavior and can be solved with better bot identification, rate limits, and protocols (like enhanced
robots.txt). The solution is to demand digital citizenship from AI companies, not to stop AI development.
