Basically traps AI crawlers and sends them down an "infinite maze" of static files with no exit links, where they get stuck and thrash around for months. Once trapped, the crawlers can be fed gibberish data, aka Markov babble, which is designed to poison AI models arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

an orthodox fellow of my acquaintance claims that "copacetic" was borrowed by Italian mobsters from the hebrew "ha'kol beseder," (everything is ok) and from there it filtered into the jazz world. who knows, but it's a good story
