Full title: I hid a link on my website that only bots can see and told them not to follow it. They broke the rules and in 4 days they went 124,414 levels deep into an endless maze. One bot opened 782,580 doors. I thought this was super interesting, this is how the internet is these days. Thought I’d share.
can you turn this into a WP plug-in?
please?
edit: I see now that this is a repost bot agcount. But hey, maybe someone else can design a plugin.
Is ironic the word for OP being a repost bot? Or is it just expected at this point?
How do you know? Just curious.
Post history and seeing the same username every day. Plus they rarely every respond to questions and comments when they post and what they respond with is generic.
No, you didn’t.
Yeah I have OP listed as “repost bot” so if I see something cool I can go check somewhere else for the info.
How do you know?
It’s ironic that you advertise yourself as having “time to lose” but you don’t have “time to replace 1st person pronouns with more accurate 3rd person ones.”
Man do I hate the age we live in now, where people are actively having to declare war on scrapers like this because AI bros have literally zero respect towards the rest of the internet.
I just hope all that endless maze scraping cost some asshat a decent chunk of money.
Right! This isn’t “AI going rogue”, it’s software agents made and employed by perfectly human psychopaths, doing what they were made to do.
I just hope all that endless maze scraping cost some asshat a decent chunk of money.
Unfortunately, it probably cost the maze’s owner nearly as much, due to all the traffic.
Designing impossible mazes for AI to get lost in as a matter of civil defense? What a fucking world we live in…
You know, I wonder if the AI agents are willing to open random zip files they find on websites, and I’m further curious if they’re smart enough to avoid a zip bomb.
Can follow JWZ for practical experience on this kind of thing - apparently it is getting so bad that even opening a connection to deliver the zip bombs is getting infeasible now.
Throw in a few of them torture chambers and make it a proper dungeon >:)
We already got one and people are crying their eyes out because poor bots. https://www.404media.co/someone-torturing-llms-in-a-robot-prison-has-triggered-the-dumbest-debate-in-ai-yet/
Extremely good content! Very interesting. Would love to see more!
Can’t see the other comment replies to you for some reason, but the irony is that the OP you’re replying to is a bot that scrapes Reddit for content with a vibe coded extension.
Here’s the original post in /r/interestingasfuck that was removed by mods for some reason.

It’s a bot reposting content from reddit.
Fuck really? :'(
Is this why porn is so good now?
