PSA: @TencentGlobal is aggressively scraping the Internet to build yet another AI slop chatbot, DDoSing many websites in the process.

We've found that, as of last week, their scraping bots can now solve Cloudflare challenges and behave like real users while ignoring robots.txt. In the last 24 hours alone, our website received more than 3 million successful requests from Tencent bot IP addresses, plus another 1 million that were blocked by Cloudflare challenges.

These recurring DDoS attacks from Tencent have been going on for over a year, and we have been constantly adjusting our firewall rules to filter them while trying not to impact Tencent's real users. Because that is no longer possible, we're now fully blocking Tencent IP addresses, starting with ASN 132203. We recommend other sysadmins do the same.

Other ASNs displaying similar abusive behaviour will also be fully blocked from our services.

We'd also like to thank @Cloudflare for sponsoring us with Project Alexandria as of 2025, giving our sysadmin the tools to keep RPCS3's online services running without service disruptions.

An automated A.I. WWE news channel on YouTube tries to pronounce "WWE" as a word and ends up going insane!🤣

Please stop submitting AI slop code pull requests to RPCS3. We will start banning those who do without disclosing.

There are plenty of resources online to learn how to debug and code instead of generating slop that you don't understand and that doesn't work.

Two years ago, 18% of game devs said AI was hurting the industry.

Last year, 30%.
This year, 52%.

Among players: 85% are now negative on AI in games. 63% picked the most negative response option available.

No other creative industry pairs this much hostility from its workforce and its audience at the same time.

85% player hostility and growing.

How high can it get? There is not much headroom left.

Microsoft suspended the developer account for WireGuard (and also VeraCrypt).

Why? Literally nobody knows. Presumably it's because Microsoft hates everyone and wants us all to suffer.

This clip pretty much sums up the two things that AI is all about:

1. Laying off people for short-term gains
2. Lying to investors

[Michael @TheMG3D]

We can definitely tell it’s AI.

Ai-generated artwork officially is ineligible for copyright protection as the US Supreme Court declined to review a appeal case.

The court rules that artwork needs to have a human creator in order to be eligible.

They shoulda done that in 2022 but this is a good law that countries could use right now.

Fun fact, there's a site that summarizes the ToS of different websites to show you what you're actually agreeing to

Oh, good: Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir co-founder and panopticon architect Peter Thiel https://t.co/ahHzVkmeXx

[IAmEmaMae | YouTuber @IAmEmaMae]

I saw someone raise a very good point elsewhere. Think about this for a second.

Adults who do not verify their age will be restricted to child and teen friendly servers.

Let me repeat that.

ADULTS who CHOOSE not to verify their age…will be locked into servers WITH CHILDREN.
