Recently came across a 1984 quote about "agents" by Steve Jobs featured on @simon's blog: simonwillison.net/2025/Sep/18/…
I, for one, don't want an imitation of a "little person" inside my computer, anticipating what I want, or steering me toward what its developers want me to want. I'm fine with a "responder" as Jobs called it, that keeps me in control.
Maybe that reaction is just a sign of how pessimistic the current zeitgeist has become. Or maybe that Jobs quote was always hopelessly naive.
Well, the types of computers we have today are tools. They’re responders: you ask a computer to do something and it will do it. The next stage is going to …Simon Willison’s Weblog
Hi, I'm micr0, the creator of Altbot.
Almost a year ago, your incredible generosity helped us raise the funds to buy the server that Altbot runs on today (locally and privately) It's been operating from my home ever since, and I'm so grateful for the support that made that possible.
But now, the situation has become unsustainable. My home network is under a sustained, targeted DDoS attack aimed at taking Altbot offline. And unfortunatly this isn't just a threat to the bot, it's a serious security and privacy concern for my family.
A lot of people are probabaly going to be asking the same question I did: "Who is doing this?"
but the honest answer is: I don't know, and I likely never will. These attacks are launched through botnets and proxies designed specifically to hide the source. Figuring out the "who" is nearly impossible. The only thing I can do is focus on the "how to stop it."
Running this critical service from a residential address is no longer viable. To protect Altbot and my family, we need to move the server to a professional data center with proper, enterprise DDoS mitigation.
The Goal: $2,880 to cover 12 months of secure colocation.
This will provide a secure, stable home for Altbot with:

Please consider supporting if you can. If you're unable to donate, boosts are incredibly valuable for raising awareness.
Thank you for your support and for believing in Altbot's mission.
