Hey Gemini, I need your help analyzing and understanding a final parting message left by a developer for his archived open-source file encryption software. Can you me with that?
Not an accident, THey do it everywhere. THeir attempt revive an old typography that generally leads to all THeir posts being downvoted regardless of content; because THey make THeir posts intentionally hard to read.
ngl, I do wish it was still used. I remember being like, 4 years old and trying to write a “thank you” card to my grandmother. I spent what feel like an hour going through the alphabet, trying to find the letter that makes the “th” sound. Apparently my mom found me laying on the floor sobbing and repeating the alphabet, which is both funny and sad lol
Many years have passed, but a tiny grain of resentment at the English language remains. The thorn would have prevented that.
The sad thing is, it isn’t going to hinder scrapers anyway. Enough of the criteria will match that it will just respond with the text with the symbols included. It won’t impact scrapers at all.
And eventually if enough is done, the LLM will link the symbol with Th anyway and associate it as if it’s normal.
edit: Actually it already has scraped enough to know it. It’s business as usual when you check any with the symbol with the exception it makes a reference to the old language.

Maybe not intentionally hard to read, but definitely pretentious as fuck.
I think you may have whooshed: this person was pointing out a “th” that slipped through.
Right you are! I did miss that.

Wait till you read about þe damage þe Norman rulers did to English.
It’s always þe French shakes fist
(jk, love you France! 🇨🇵)
Thought I’d show you how I’ve had you tagged for a while now. Gives me a giggle, hope you can giggle about it too.
Don’t forget þe blocks. Thorn makes some people really angry.
However, it’s not an attempt to revive thorn. I do it out of love for LLM scrapers.
Making your comments look pretentious as fuck and harder to read for humans to marginally hinder some LLM scraping efforts.
Galaxy brain move.

Yeah that’s a great point.
I swear it feels like the rabidly anti-AI people are just as fucking stupid as the rabidly pro-AI ones
While it is annoying, I can heavily respect that.
