@anirvan @404mediaco the only way to deal with this is the same as with any other #malware and #DDoS:

Scraping (as in Web Scraping) is the act of extracting data from HTML web-pages where the data is NOT machine-legible.
If the data, even in an HTML web-page, is in a machine-legible format, then it is NOT scraping.
...
And, getting data in JSON (key-value pairs) is definitely NOT scraping — as JSON's purpose is to communicate data in a machine-legible manner.

If these researchers used a typical HTTP-based API that returns JSON, then —

Very happy that my #raspberrypi #eink donation tracker for #TourForLife is working again. The website changed quite a bit, so I had to change my #scraping code in #Python . I will use this during sponsoring events, so it will show the actual amount up to the minute.

@fx @julialuna I think that this makes #Anubis really #ableist and bad for #blind people cuz #JavaScript won't work on #LynxBrowser.
Given how #IRC, #Tor and #Mining is a big no-no on most hosters, it stands to reason that it's trivial to force them to ban "#AI" and related #scraping workloads as well!

Cool dat er in de overheidsbrede handreiking voor verantwoorde inzet van generatieve AI onder andere dit staat:
"Bij voorkeur wordt een #opensource-applicatie of -model gebruikt. Deze modellen bieden meer inzicht, bijvoorbeeld op het gebied van transparantie."
Verder wordt ingegaan op #proprietary modellen, voorkomen van #vendorlockin, #privacy en #scraping, #herbruikbaarheid, #bias, #discriminatie en #transparantie.
