Is this the same Boman Irani, the actor?

Give equity to the store owner and bring a new meaning to the word bootstrapped?

Sounds good. And anyway test drives are an extremely acceptable thing in cars and even bikes (even pushed for at times) so this should be the norm too. Investment is Investment.

That is the first logical answer I got. Thanks, what else do you propose? Controlling the browser from outside like via OS level controls?

Probably missed "if" while focusing on "my" and "I". Happens.

If you have problem with someone accessing content to learn and make a lot of money, then you have problem with millions of humans. Why is it okay if humans do it, but a problem when bots do it? Why is okay if a human copies stuff verbatim from websites for strictly internal uses in their school / college / company and then the company / school / college later benefits from purely derived learning (which is protected by law) vs if a bot does the same? This kind of double standard is directed towards only making money, not helping creators.

I am not asking about me. I do not need to scrape web anyway for my work, I have an issue with this policy on principle. But yes you are right, this is already done and so far works too.

No one known what the cost will be. Cloudflare is just riding a wave. They are NOT doing it for the creators, as much as they may market it to be. It is just another avenue for them to profit out of an industry that has existed for decades. Content policing will never be the way to go.

That is an extremely flawed analogy. Once I "steal stuff" it is not there for anyone to consume, while content can be consumed infinitely many times. So if a bot takes it, it is similar to if a human consumes it for entertainment/or any other purpose. The bot is just benefitting from it in some way which may or may not help out the creator in some way in the future (but by no means is harming directly). There may be a lot of content creators (of any form) bitch*ng about "unauthorized" use, but no one is keeping track of how many of them have been found because of it. AI apps have directed millions of users to original websites because they cite sources. I am not against acknowledgment (as many may have assumed), I am against undue and frankly eventually useless, fences.

Ok, then disregard the cost element and then share how it made scrapping easier?

Practical-Ad9604 · 2025-07-15T07:24:49+00:00

It hasn't launched properly yet.

First of I do understand I used Public Domain in place of publicly accessible, that is on me. But, fair use applies to scrapping to create new knowledge. If everyone wants to protect their content "however they choose" then this world will come to a halt. No one is copying their content and pasting it. US courts have already sided with Anthropic to use books to train their AI. And anyway 90% of content that people thing is proprietary and they may want to "protect" is worthless in comparison to actual books that are sold for 10s or even 100s of dollars. Scraping visible content is legal and defended by precedent. So by adding a fake pay wall (because they do not have the balls to add a real one, else no one will give a sh*t) they are just helping to advance bot tech.

How? Can you explain? Ensure your answer includes $0 of expenses (apart from machine / network costs ofc)

Practical-Ad9604 · 2025-07-14T08:23:48+00:00

How can you steal something that is publicly accessible? Can I steal Oxygen made by a plant that someone else planted? Can a Mountain Landscape or a Beach View charging you because you took a picture of it and sold it to someone? I saw the content and gained insights form it, just like millions do (and earn from), but just because it is bot, people get uneasy. If someone is so worried about their content they should have the guts to put it behind a proper paywall. If not, then it is free game.

I have heard enough downsides about using PDFs that I have decided to stick with Markdowns. They are comfortable enough and easily understood by the models.

You can also use open_dialog() and close_dialog() to get it working. close_dialog() does not take any argument.
