    "The web is full of independent archives, hobby databases, local news sites, forums, reference works. Decades of accumulated human effort, running on old code, maintained by small teams or single individuals, quietly holding up far more of our shared knowledge than anyone acknowledges."

    And proponents of so-called 'AI' are speedrunning their destruction.

  15. #AI #scrapers are the PFAS of what was once the fertile ground of an open and honest internet.

    In the race of AI to.. (yeah to what?), websites with decades of knowledge are forced to spend enormous amounts of compute and bandwidth defending themselves against an opaque ecosystem of scrapers.

    An article about Residential Proxy Networks, β€œethically sourced” IP addresses, Iocaine, NetNut-infected apps, Anubis, and the invisible infrastructure s(cr/h)aping the web.

  28. I appreciate the wise minds that have jumped into my thread over the past 24 hours.

    It's amazing to see the variety of tools and attitudes towards the problem. The more I talk it through and hear from other folks, the more I feel that shutting the door is ultimately a self-own. If I want humans to see my website, I need to focus on making that as simple and unfettered as possible.

    I have lots of things I could be doing better for my fellow humans. The trackers from Google and FB alone are my major concern for me. There is also a trade off between being searchable at all, versus blocking the scrapers and removing the trackers.

    Any tech "solution" is ultimately imperfect. I wish this was a simpler equation. It does not feel like a "nuance" situation, rather a "you get screwed either way" situation.

  33. Why is #twitter not properly identifying itself as a bot when trying to scrape my website? (69.12.56.0/21 is AS63179 is Twitter)

    Could it be cause they're a malicious party training an #aibot?

    (This is extremely low-intensity, but based on the combination of this specific UA and the pages they're trying to reach, I've seen them before, coming in from residential proxies.)

    The funny thing is that bots identifying as bots and observing robots.txt would actually be allowed to reach those particular pages.

    I would always offer an anonymous session after completing a proof of work (which is also available without JS).

    Do you think this is okay? Please don't hesitate to reply!
