LOL? #Cloudflare announced they will block #AI crawlers by default and if they want to continue the crawling, they can pay…😂
I guess they also suffered from the extra traffic…😂
Just tried to subscribe to the RSS feed for https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html. Huh, seems that I can't. Why? Because they're sitting behind Cloudflare, and Cloudflare demands that you prove that you're human in order to subscribe to it. As my feedreader isn't human it struggles somewhat here.
Turns out this has been going on for a while and it's impacting a lot of sites and open standards software.

👀 Oh look, Cloudflare's CEO is on a noble quest to convince #Google to hand them a magical anti-AI #shield 🛡️—because clearly, the #tech giant has nothing better to do than play superhero for a mere mortal company. Meanwhile, the rest of us are left wondering if this is just another episode of 'Tech #CEOs Dream Big and Deliver Nada.' 🙄

Сервисы overedge.space перестали открываться на территории РФ из-за РКН, тк мы используем инфраструктуру CloudFlare, менять DNS провайдера мы не собираемся. Настоятельно рекомендуем Вам запастись хорошим ВПН'он, если Вы еще не сделали это.
P.S. у меня перестали открываться даже те сайты, где CloudFlare не используется :)
Вместе мы победим!

Cloudflare blocks AI scrapers now
Even by default, reports Ars Technica.
This has been sitting in my inbox as a draft for a couple of days. Still, I wanted to make this Block post nevertheless foremost because I think it’s noteworthy. What Cloudflare does – or tries – here in this context, is basically a shift in a business model.
Under the old model, or regular approach, AI scrapers are trying to pick up as much content as they can. This practice has been under a discussion for as long as the hype took up. Content […]

I understand your feeling and your though.
I don't know and I don't think that there is a 'web of trust' solution for fedivers in development right now.
It's basically what every web master on earth is trying to do. Some try with #cloudflare other with #captcha or #anubis system... That's a workaround.
I know also that the #monnaiLibre ( https://duniter.org/web-of-trust/ ) use a web of trust graph.
But I have no idea if it's doingable for the #fedivers ??!?
How many #AIslopBots are stuck in a 1.1.1.1 hole 👉🤖🤝🥶
I just tried to do a #stract search. It's down. I checked #IsitDownRightNow, and they confirm.
Also #CloudFlare, #BarnesAndNoble, #AO3 ... did CloudFlare have such a big outage they took down all those sites?
We are hammered by (but successfully block) Alibabaʼs #AI bot. Interesting to note #Cloudflare does not yet have it in its list despite it being a huge player. Looks like Iʼll have to add it if I have time.
Edit: I may have been looking at Cloudflare's legitimate bot list (very hard to tell on a cellphone). In which case it is only right that Alibaba is not in there.

Gemini realizing my nerd factor suggested the following text on my index.html : "This website is running on a #caddy server inside a #proxmox lxc ... Served securely through a #cloudflare tunnel." I found it silly, but used it.

<Clownflare> oh, that's perfectly valid activity, please carry on!
