    I do feel like active anti-scraping measures could go somewhat further, though - the obvious route in my eyes would be to try to actively feed complete garbage to scrapers instead - whether by sticking a bunch of garbage on webpages to mislead scrapers or by trying to prompt inject the shit out of the AIs themselves.

    Me, predicting how anti-scraping efforts would evolve

    (I have nothing more to add, I just find this whole development pretty vindicating)

      Is it really a prediction when it’s extremely obvious? Or especially when it was being done already when you make your prediction?

      Like, if I predict you will blink in the next hour, is that really a prediction?
