2ality blog: temporarily offline due to AI stealing work
2ality blog author Axel Rauschmayer announced the temporary shutdown due to AI crawlers causing traffic surge without ad revenue, and book sales dropping to zero, to figure out next steps against AI companies stealing his work.
2ality blog: temporarily offline
2ality blog: temporarily offline
Dear visitor! Two things happened recently:
The income from my book sales went from being enough for me to live off (2024) to zero (2026).
The traffic to my blog and my books (which were free to read online) increased beyond what I can currently afford. Virtually all of it comes from AI crawlers, so there is no ad income.
Therefore, I’m taking my blog and my books offline so that I can decide what to do next – especially w.r.t. AI companies stealing my work. This may take a while (think months): I don’t have any energy to deal with this right now.
I apologize for this (hopefully temporary) inconvenience to my human readers! You can still buy my books at Payhip.
