A clarified stance on blocking AI crawlers

- turtleyacht 1y agoFiltering AI crawlers at HTTP feels like high-level firewalls, a lot of redoing of the network stack. Remember when Flash enabled interactive websites? You walk forward with W and peruse the headlines. Press E to grab the newspaper. Piece the tattered pages together. Seven coins for your proof of work. Those coins are redeemable across certain other sites in a webring? Although, sounds like a lot of work for a single visit, or onerous for repeat ones.
