Their anti-bot detection is pretty aggressive. The server insists I'm a teapot, and I haven't checked today, but I'm pretty sure I'm at least humanoid shaped.

That's exactly what an etc. etc.

Well if it talks like a teapot, and walks like a teapot... you may be in a Disney movie.

Excuse me! If that truly is the case, then why are you sending out 418 status codes?

Is this website supposed to load? Is HN the deadliest poison of this website?

knodi123• 1 year ago

Should have given tiny doses of HN to the server every day, increasing the dose over time, until it built an immunity to hordes of traffic.

I wonder what would happen if you served LLM-generated garbage to the LLMs if that’d be even better. Just massive amounts of fake content, plausible terrible code, incorrect legal cases, new math, horrible recipes, novels by famous authors that were never written.

Lets make AI poisoning the norm. If we all do it, they won't have anything to crawl.

The AI companies are just going to filter out garbage better (hint: they already do), and the crawlers are going to get better at pretending to be human. The only change we'll notice is that the end user's experience has gotten worse.

Better than it would have been if the content sites all go offline do to crushing crawling load...

Remember that it's the AI companies who are causing the pain. Others are just crying out in pain and trying to survive

Viewing this incorrectly flags my primary browser into the infinite tarpit but not a different browser. Perhaps a little too aggressive or not discerning enough?

Does the name come from The Princess Bride?

tlavoie• 1 year ago

It does! I think it's on a FAQ page somewhere.

whoops didn't realize this would block requests from hn after some time but in retrospect it's not surprising
