  • while others could be executing real-time searches when users ask AI assistants for information.

    WTF? Is this even considered ai anymore? Sounds more like a Just-In-Time search engine.

    The frequency of these crawls is particularly telling. Schubert observed that AI crawlers “don’t just crawl a page once and then move on. Oh, no, they come back every 6 hours because lol why not.” This pattern suggests ongoing data collection rather than one-time training exercises, potentially indicating that companies are using these crawls to keep their models’ knowledge current.

    Whats telling is that these scrapers aren’t just downloading the git repos and parsing those. These aren’t targeted in anyways. They’re probably doing something primitive like just following every link they see and getting caught in loops. If the labyrinth solution works then that confirms it.



  • The reason for Boeing’s recent failures are actually well known: They purchased McDonnel Douglass and became defense contractors.

    When they did that all of the McDonnel Douglass execs they acquired were able climb up the ranks of Boeing because they had political connections to get those DoD contracts. The story is the Boeing corporation acquired McDD but McDD execs acquired Boeing.

    What happened next is Boeing started doing normal DoD contractor practices and outsource as much as possible to cut costs and open new non-union shops. The clusterfuck that is Boeing now is the outcome of that process.

    Obviously you can still call this “c-suite greed” but that would be missing some important details.
