Sabot in the Age of AI
Here is a curated list of strategies, offensive methods, and tactics for (algorithmic) sabotage, disruption, and deliberate poisoning.
🔻 iocaine
The deadliest AI poison—iocaine generates garbage rather than slowing crawlers.

🔻 Nepenthes
A tarpit designed to catch web crawlers, especially those scraping for LLMs. It devours anything that gets too close. @[email protected]
🔗 https://zadzmo.org/code/nepenthes/
🔻 Quixotic
Feeds fake content to bots and robots.txt-ignoring #LLM scrapers. @[email protected]

🔻 Poison the WeLLMs
A reverse-proxy that serves diassociated-press style reimaginings of your upstream pages, poisoning any LLMs that scrape your content. @[email protected]

🔻 Django-llm-poison
A django app that poisons content when served to #AI bots. @[email protected]

🔻 KonterfAI
A model poisoner that generates nonsense content to degenerate LLMs.

Some of this stuff could be conceivably implemented as an easy-to-consume service. It would be nice if it were possible to fend off the scrapers without needing to be a sysadmin or, say, a cloudflare customer.
(Whilst I could be either of those things, unless someone is paying me I would very much rather not)
A WP plugin would be handy.
