We all hate AI slop and what these companies are doing(datacenters, replacing employees, etc) but our most effective move against these companies might actually be using all of their free services as much as possible. Better yet automate their use with a script if you can. Clearly politicians are already bought and payed for here. The entire town can vote no but that data center is still going up.

DDOS the AI overlords by generating a constant stream of nonsense through the free services they are trying to use to get us all “hooked on AI”. If nothing else this would screw up their current business model and put unnecessary wear on their chips and screwing up their user metrics.

    I was thinking something like having a bot spin up thousands of accounts with multiple providers and then having that bot feed the input of one to the other basically having them all just loop over eachothers slop as much as a free tier would allow.

    On a single account this does nothing but imagine it being done by a botnet or even just a dedicated group with a few powerful computers. Everything one account hits its free their limit another account is spun up. Effectively bypassing the free tier limit.

    Sure, the idea needs some work but I think theres something there.

      This would take serious understanding of anti swarm and DDOS protections to circumvent the checks that guard the signups.

      Not saying it’s impossible, but maybe next to impossible?
