*These copyright traps have a name: “mountweazels” — a term with its own curious history — and an evolution of them is now being used by companies fending off AI data scrapers that devour vast swathes of the internet without asking permission. In a lawsuit against four tech companies filed Wednesday and covered by The New York Times, Reddit revealed how it managed to ensnare the AI startup Perplexity with its own sort of mountweazel. The forum-based social media platform put up a “test post” on its site that could “only be crawled by Google’s search engine and was not otherwise accessible anywhere on the internet,” it said. But within hours, Perplexity’s AI-powered search engine showed the content from the trap Reddit post.* Perplexity Just Got Caught Breaking the Rules Red-Handed https://share.google/6NZ7uUvS99D9uThqR

*the reason you will eventually grow out of forums is that they are search queries written by other people. LessWrong was summoned into existence by Eliezer Yudkowsky and Robin Hanson writing a sequence of exceptionally powerful search queries (on Overcoming bias), blog posts so strong that the networks they created survived the exodus of the original nodes. This is what online writing is at its limit—the summoning of a new culture. If we squint a little, we could even say that this is how the internet itself came into existence. In 1963, J. C. R. Licklider wrote a memo about an “intergalactic computer network”, and that search query was so powerful it summoned the aliens.
