📰 «El bloqueo arbitrario de LaLiga está afectando a más de 14 500 webs españolas»
🔗 proxy.jesusysustics.com/2025/0

Esta es la verdadera dimensión de los bloqueos del fútbol: más de 13 mil webs .ES afectadas bandaancha.eu/articulos/esta-v

Es surrealista que Internet en España lleve secuestrada dos meses y medio por una asociación deportiva con un excesivo y enfermizo ánimo de lucro que antepone a cualquier derecho ciudadano.

Según el estudio de Jaume Pons, prácticamente 14 500 webs con domino español están siendo boicoteadas los fines de semana y días de Champions por usar un servicio de protección como el de Cloudflare que todo el mundo recomienda para evitar ser víctimas de ataques DDoS.

Digital Pamphleteering

Log: a sailor’s “log-book” from the #AgeOfDiscovery (1670s) became a “log”, or a “record of observations, readings” in 1842.

Web: the Old English “webb” meant “woven fabric, woven work, or tapestry”; the #Internet sense is shortened from World Wide Web (1990).

A “web log” is a recorded set of observations on the internet: a #blog.

AI is an Orwellian nightmare

I used to be able to search for things using a search engine. It would point me to a source of information, I could decide for myself if the source was good or not. But not anymore. Recently I just wasted a lot of time trying to find something using a search engine only to get lost in an ocean of AI slop.

I finally gave in and asked my question to ChatGPT and it answered my question perfectly, it even showed me where it got it’s sources of information. The places it linked me to were either no longer existent (if ever) or only vaguely related. But it at least created the appearance of citing factual sources of information, in whatever way the statistical models have been trained to give that impression to the humans who use it.

In Orwell’s novel “1984,” we saw how a single government agency took all control over information, how the staff would keep a database of facts but constantly alter these facts to fit the view of reality that their despot “Big Brother” wanted the citizens to believe. The same thing happens now with LLMs presenting a very carefully tuned image of the facts in the database.

AI chat bots are an innovative new method of brainwashing, one which nobody could have ever imagined possible even a few years ago: get everyone to trust a mechanical Big Brother because it chats with you like a friendly fellow human would.
