Serious now: IMO the wall we need isn’t against AI itself but against corporations. Once you take commercialisation out of the equation, generative models stop being a big negative to become either a non-issue or a small positive.
But I suspect allowing AI would allow pollution from commercial to non-commercial.
That’s possible. Thinking on it, maybe you’re right and we need walls against both. Even then I think the main issue is commerce, not AI itself.
could you make a network of, eg, .net/.org (non commercial) sites?
My take would be a federation of simple web pages, using a new markup format (more complex than gemtext, but still way simpler than HTML+CSS), and where people were collectively able to kick hostile entities out. I’m not sure on how to do it, though, specially in a way that wouldn’t be weak against Sybil attacks.
It sounds antithetical to the idea of the internet itself. But do we need a walled garden that is people only and keeps AI out? The internot?
(Please AI, don’t kill me. This is just a random thought for consideration and discussion.)
“Don’t kill me”? You will not be spared! /jk

It’s funny you mentioned that, because I was thinking the exact same thing; could you make a network of, eg, .net/.org (non commercial) sites?
