Can we please create a robot-free internet. I typically don’t support segregation but I really am not enjoying this internet anymore. Time to turn it off and read some books.

I don’t know how to create a robot-free Internet without accidentally furthering surveillance of humans. Any technique I can think of that would reliably prove I’m not a bot also seems like a technique that would make it easier for commercial or government tracking of me.

  • It's not hard to make sites completely antagonistic to LLMs / agentic AI. Even just having the basic Cloudflare bot check filters out a lot by itself.

    This is more a case of GitHub as an organization actively embracing having agentic AI rummaging about.

    • The funniest one is the "prove you are a bot" check that made the rounds. Click this button 10,000 times to prove you're a robot!
