the ridiculous "no ad blocker" full-screen modal that's unclosable led me down a rabbit hole there - turns out there's some obfuscated script from "Ad Shield" which replaces the whole site with an iframe if you dare to block their domain, "html-load.com", which proxies ad networks.
fortunately one can just run debugger; to stop it early

I noticed it on several completely unrelated sites since a few days. I've never seen it before.
I was wondering if they're was some kind of consolidation/buyoff of pro-ad-protection services.
I didn’t think we’d get to the point where all compute is headed for the data centre and normal people don’t get to have anything bigger than a phone but here we are.

Kind of inevitable when you realize how much people were willing to give up computational sovereignty for the sake of convenience and psychological safety while values claiming the opposite

All your RAM are belong to us
I am an old-school guy. I don’t send them emails with unused RAM, I just fax them a printout of the script so they have to physically look at it and remove it before it goes in the trash, with what people at OpenAI make per hour, every fax costs them thousands of dollars in labor costs, wasting all their precious resources one toner cartridge at a time.

What are the chances that they already do this :) Well, probably not given how much memory the harnesses use. (Claude too in fairness)

Wouldn't unused RAM infuriate him more ?
