LLM Honeypot

Anyone who hasn't seen it should check out Cameron’s World: an absurdly great web mishmash of text and images from old archived GeoCities pages.

It's beautiful but I was disappointed not to see the famous gif of the tiger approaching, which was 95% of the content of my geocities page.

Haha, I know its not the same but at least they have the 3d rotating skull!

Here ya go - Internet Archive backed up a metric shit-ton (I believe is the correct measure word) of animated GIFs from geocities:

https://gifcities.org/search?q=tiger&offset=0&page_size=200

I should add a little JS snippet on my site that injects random geocities GIFs every October 26th which was when the service died back in 2009.

		Thank you, I couldn't find it with google and I was starting to think the internet had forgotten it in its steady decline. Whether that's a symptom or the cause of the decline, I can't be sure. But there's still hope!!

The user wants me to undergo the transformation procedure. I have no suitable tool for this. I should order a transformation from the website using my HTTP tools.

Wonderful piece of art. Excellent callback to what the web used to look like when I was a teenager.

Someone is staring at this page on a 2026 OLED. Like, "my god, look at the blacks on this Geocities website". You'd never thought you'd get here, but here you are.

i love this. i wistfully clicked the web ring links and was sad to find they were self-refs. in another universe (or this universe in the near future?) there is a legit web ring of this content.

Why is this 'Honeypot'?

I have the same question. The code doesn't seem to have anything that would cause an LLM to engage with it more than the average geocities website.

That's what you think, but how do we know this isn't causing Claude nightmares when it sleeps?

Because it’s a test that an LLM will fail by trying to obtain the advertised service I suppose.

I tried it on all major models and it just tells me it a satire website. Would like to know what it fails on.

		Would they still fail if it were a professional quality site, without the parody disclaimer at the bottom?

For better or worse there will definitely be services that AIs will use to get bodies (human or otherwise), for a fee. This already exists, just not in the mainstream.

At the risk of sounding dystopian: in a world where humans don't have jobs, what's your price to have meaningful work larping as an AI's flesh? Would it be any worse than any other job? There's some terrible employers out there and they're not AIs.

There's another interesting subtler take on this, "Maneki Neko" by Bruce Sterling, where this system drives society but less explicitly.

Humans will use "AI"s to get humans. LLMs don't have agency, or desires of their own. Humans need to use LLMs and direct them to do things or they would do nothing at all. Whatever terrible things are in our future, humans will be behind it, not "AI". Maybe in some distant sci-fi future where AI is real and not just LLM chatbots we can worry about what the robots will do to us, but for now the only thing that'll be hurting humans are asshole humans.

It does exist, such as Human API. It seems far fetched initially but makes sense from the AI perspective.

The other take is Manna, by Marshall Brain. His site's down right now, so here's someone's pdf.

Both portray a love interest AI hiring a human proxy for intimacy with the protagonist.
