A HUGE portion of (the American) internet uses cloudflare. This could be a death pill for companies that can't get around it.

Then again, I am not sure I care. Why should the companies working on these AI's be allowed to take your work "for free".

From the post:

>On Wednesday, web infrastructure provider Cloudflare announced a new feature called "AI Labyrinth" that aims to combat unauthorized AI data scraping by serving fake AI-generated content to bots. The tool will attempt to thwart AI companies that crawl websites without permission to collect training data for large language models that power AI assistants like ChatGPT.

Nice. With this, a growing number of hobbyists running software like Nepenthes(zadzmo.org), and AI scraping text that was generated by AI we are speeding along toward the inevitable model collapse.

Nepenthes is much more efficient though. It doesn’t use an LLM running on a data center GPU. It can keep a few major web scrapers busy with only a Raspberry Pi.
