They're expecting everyone to whitelist Google agents because Google has the market share for people to complain if Google agents don't work.

With the apparent competence that built Gemini, I have zero faith in Google building or doing anything that works anymore.

    To counter the idiot downvotes, I proffer this as a prime example of Gemini:

      Resolving Final Compilation Conflict: I will remove the redundant `Entry` type declaration to resolve the compilation conflict and finalize the in-memory `StdNetDB` refactor.

    Edit  std.go → Accepted (+0, -1)

      31   type Entry struct {
      32       RouterInfo *router_info.RouterInfo
      33   }
      34 -
      34   func NewStdNetDB(db string) *StdNetDB {
      35       ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
      36       return &StdNetDB{

    That and the cli keeps exiting 0, without hinting why... Quality like the "AI Overview" that hijacks an entire page and isn't even relevant to the search terms - uBlock still doing god's work.

    It made me realise I was perhaps a bit hard on Claude (but then it did something equally as dumb)

It’s the same thing with Sam Altman and Worldcoin: create the problem, then sell people the solution (which also just so happens to shred more privacy). Play both sides and profit; it’s great work if you can get it.

Point On! Probably done by two different teams, who don't know about each other. I hate this (re)captcha so bad. They assume everyone is bad.
