    Considering how many false positives Cloudflare serves i see nothing but misery coming from this.

    Lol I work in healthcare and Cloudflare regularly blocks incoming electronic orders because the clinical notes "resemble" SQL injection. Nurses type all sorts of random stuff in their notes so there's no managing that. Drives me insane!

      Get behind the what?

      Perhaps an AI crawler crashed Melvin's machine halfway through the reply, denying that information to everyone else!

          The problem you aren’t recognizing is that, until humans are no longer driven by self preservation, there will always be oppression in any system. They all have and will continue to breakdown. It’s easy to blame capitalism but even socialist systems eventually cave under the weight of greed and power. We are the problem mon frère.

          there will always be complications, sure. PERFECT may not be achievable.

          but apparently we can't have GOOD, we can't have DECENT, we can't have OKAY until the last owner is strangled with the entrails of the last enforcer. not for more than the about ten seconds it takes them to notice.

                    Not a single Democrat voted to confirm Hegseth and 3 Republicans also didnt but he still got confirmed.

                    Every single Democrat was present and voted no for the Budget which passed the House and it still passed.

                    Even if 10 dems voted not to shutdown government and enter congressional recess, the CR only exists because Republicans wrote it and won't compromise.

                    Any Democrat is Better than Any Republican.

                    Scheumer rubberstamped autocracy by not filibustering the CR. I think anyone who protects the constitution and their constituents is better than someone who doesn't. Not that any repuclicans fit the bill, but its not like we can just trust any old democrat. Look at Gavin Newsome sliding to the right to maintain power. That the kinda dems we want?

                      I have no idea why the makers of LLM crawlers think it's a good idea to ignore bot rules. The rules are there for a reason and the reasons are often more complex than "well, we just don't want you to do that". They're usually more like "why would you even do that?"

                      Ultimately you have to trust what the site owners say. The reason why, say, your favourite search engine returns the relevant Wikipedia pages and not bazillion random old page revisions from ages ago is that Wikipedia said "please crawl the most recent versions using canonical page names, and do not follow the links to the technical pages (including history)". Again: Why would anyone index those?

                            In my country blue is conservatives... But I agree with the sentiment! It worked for California, it can work for your country, let the Dems stop fearing they lose elections, give them comfortable margins and then massively support progressives who can bring in the good stuff, they won't have a chance if the party core thinks the very future of elections is on the line, but if they think they'll likely win anyway, you might just be able to push through a progressive candidate and end the Neoliberal decay.

                            To be fair, California is kind of dysfunctional and constantly trips over its own regulations when trying to get anything built. For instance, needing excessive environmental impact review for things like trains that will obviously help the environment, or limiting ferry boats crossing the bay to protect the environment even though it likely results in more people driving instead.

                                  We truly are getting dumber as a species. We're facing climate change but running some of the most power hungry processers in the world to spit out cooking recipes and homework answers for millions of people.

                                    Law enforcement doesn't convict anyone, that's a judge's job. If a LEO falsely arrests you, you can sue them, and it should be pretty open-and-shut if it's due to AI hallucination. Enough of that and LEO will stop it.

                                        Now imagine how much power will be wasted circumventing it.

                                          We'll never know what happened because the senate couldn't even filibuster it for a day to try to force a negotiation or a shutdown. There was no reason for 10 senators to vote yes on the CR.
