Wow, #Cloudflare added an option to block #AI #bots from scraping the website they host.
I wasn't expecting this level of pushback from a major Internet company

@mario im@just waiting for the other shoe to drop where they will partner with open.ai or some shit unless you pay extra for them not to. Or they will train their own internal model. I have 0 faith in any and all big tech anymore
@mario these things are big problems for hosting companies. They don't follow the rules, they take active steps to circumvent blocks. Kudos to CloudFlare.
@mario This is also really funny considering how many AI tools they've promoted in the past couple years. https://ai.cloudflare.com is a thing.
