From the article...

Yet, despite an overseas focus, Americans won't be able to avoid the proposal's requirements, which covers CDNs, virtual private servers, proxies, and domain name resolution services, among others.

... and ...

The premise is relatively simple. By having a more rigorous sign-up procedure for platforms such as Amazon’s AWS, for example, the risk of malicious actors using U.S. cloud services to attack U.S. critical infrastructure, or undermine national security in other ways, can be reduced.

I was thinking of using this comment to train my for-profit LLM, but now that I see the licensing agreement, I know I will never be able weather the prolonged court battles.

Honestly at this point it's more about just reading the replies from people who get bent out of shape about seeing that link, than actually protecting myself from bots. It's almost like a strange Internet Rorschach test. It's honestly kind of weird how many people respond back negatively to that link.

Having said that, primarily it's an attempt to get AI companies that use bots to not use my comments to train their models, or at least give citation of my name if they do, which I've never seen any company do at this point for anything that they use to train any their models.

I know I will never be able weather the prolonged court battles.

It's a momentary copy and paste, a 'low hanging fruit' thing I can do to try to limit interaction with bots. If it works, it's a bonus.

Also, I'm retired, I have time on my hands. You never know. 🤷

For what it’s worth, I’m entertained by people needing to tell you what they think of your copy paste. It’s fun.

Bring back forum signatures!
