"Finally, we just uncovered that an AI botnet has discovered our pico services and are using it to communicate with other bots. Normally when we discover spam on our platform we simply move our services from the free tier to the paid tier. This has worked really well in the past and keeps our services feeling like a smol community. However, prose is a service we want to keep free because it's a great way to see how our services work. Therefore, we plan to introduce an invite system. Anyone can create an account but they won't be able to do anything with that account until they get an invite from someone within the platform. We plan to move pretty fast on this change since our discover page is completely flooded by bots. Once we move to an invite system we will likely re-open pgs.sh to have a free tier (and potentially our other services as well)."
