So we're burning fossil fuels and destroying the planet so bots can try to deceive one another on the Internet in pursuit of our personal data. I feel like dystopian cyberpunk predictions didn't fully understand how fucking stupid we are...

I am not happy with how much internet relies on cloudflare. However, they have a strong set of products
So they rewrote Nepenthes (or Iocaine, Spigot, Django-llm-poison, Quixotic, Konterfai, Caddy-defender, plus inevitably some Rust versions)
Edit, but with ✨AI✨ and apparently only true facts

this is some fucking stupid situation, we somewhat got a faster internet and these bots messing each other are hogging the bandwidth.
It's what I've been saying about technology for the past decade or two .... we've hit an upper limit to our technological development ... that limit is on individual human greed where small groups of people or massively wealthy people hinder or delay any further development because they're always trying to find ways to make money off it, prevent others from making money off it, monopolize an area or section of society .... capitalism is literally our world's bottleneck and it's being choked off by an oddly shaped gold bar at this point.

while allowing legitimate users and verified crawlers to browse normally.
What is a "verified crawler" though? What I worry about is, is it only big companies like Google that are allowed to have them now?
I assume a crawler which adheres to robots.txt

Will this further fuck up the inaccurate nature of AI results? While I'm rooting against shitty AI usage, the general population is still trusting it and making results worse will, most likely, make people believe even more wrong stuff.
The article says it's not poisoning the AI data, only providing valid facts. The scraper still gets content, just not the content it was aiming for.
E:
It is important to us that we don’t generate inaccurate content that contributes to the spread of misinformation on the Internet, so the content we generate is real and related to scientific facts, just not relevant or proprietary to the site being crawled.

That's just BattleBots with a different name.
They should program the actions and reactions of each system to actual battle bots and then televise the event for our entertainment.

You're not wrong.
Ok, I now need a screensaver that I can tie to a cloudflare instance that visualizes the generated "maze" and a bot's attempts to get out.
