EXCLUSIVE: US makes failed bid for Iran to allow 'symbolic strike' by Israel

Washington used diplomatic backchannels to ask Tehran not to retaliate to an Israeli strike, which would allow Tel Aviv to 'save face' follo

The Cradle

An Iranian military security official has revealed exclusively to The Cradle that the US contacted the Islamic Republic, asking the nation to allow Israel "a symbolic strike to save face” following Iran's retaliatory drone and missile barrage this weekend. “Iran has received messages from mediators to let the regime do a symbolic strike to save face and asked Iran not to retaliate,” the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, revealed to The Cradle. He added that Tehran “outright rejected” the proposal, delivered by mediators, and reiterated warnings that any Israeli attack on Iranian soil would be met with a decisive and immediate response.

The revelations come as US defense officials have told western media that they expect a “limited response” from Israel against Iran, which will reportedly focus on targets outside of Iranian territory. Nevertheless, US officials stressed that Tel Aviv had not briefed the Pentagon on a “final decision” as discussions within Israel's fractured war cabinet continued. “The US does not intend to take part in the military response,” they confirmed. However, they expect Israel to inform Washington about response plans in advance.

This isn't even the first time this has happened, for anyone doubting it's real. The USA also did this in Vietnam.

To understand what's going on here, know these things:

OpenAI is the company that makes ChatGPT
A spider is a kind of bot that autonomously crawls the web and sucks up web pages
robots.txt is a standard text file that most web sites use to inform spiders whether or not they have permission to crawl the site; basically a No Trespassing sign for robots
OpenAI's spider is ignoring robots.txt (very rude!)
the web.sp.am site is a research honeypot created to trap ill-behaved spiders, consisting of billions of nonsense garbage pages that look like real content to a dumb robot
OpenAI is training its newest ChatGPT model using this incredibly lame content, having consumed over 3 million pages and counting...

It's absurd and horrifying at the same time.

As I think I have mentioned before, I have the world's lamest content farm at https://www.web.sp.am/. Click on a link or two and you'll get the idea.

Unfortunately, GPTBot has found it and has not gotten the idea. It has fetched over 3 million pages today. Before someone tells me to fix my robots.txt, this is a content farm so rather than being one web site with 6,859,000,000 pages, it is 6,859,000,000 web sites each with one page. Of those 3 million page fetches, 1.8 million were for robots.txt.

It's not like it's hard to figure out what's going on since the pages all look nearly the same, and they're all on the same IP address with the same wildcard SSL certificate.

Amazon's spider got stuck there a month or two ago but fortunately I was able to find someone to pass the word and it stopped. Got any contacts at OpenAI?

R's,

John

PS: If you were wondering what they're using to train GPT-5, well, now you know.
