Als je een AI browser gebruikt zoals die van OpenAI, die met je meeleest en alles onthoudt, is er dan sprake van scrapen? En als dit geen scrapen is, dan lijkt me het handhaven van een scrapingsverbod voor AI moeilijk worden. Gebruikers zullen in de nabije toekomst hun browser namelijk vragen op de achtergrond wat "browse werk" voor hun te doen.

Open source and the foundation of modern software development is cracking.
The reason: AI companies are scraping entire registries. Enterprise CI/CD systems hammer servers with wasteful, uncached requests."

1/2 You know: they are #scraping every text and book to ingest them in #AITraining. Large #AI companies don't care about intellectual property rights or remuneration.
But did you know that they do not simply lend books or give them away to children, people in need, or libraries afterwards? They are torn apart, destroyed, thrown away. https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/06/anthropic-destroyed-millions-of-print-books-to-build-its-ai-models/
learning about #browsercookie has made #python so much easier to reach for for simple one-off #scraping jobs - no need to fool with authentication, if you can see a page in your browser, you can get to it with python!
Looks like we will join the AI hype train, baby! So to start, let's talk about poisoning AI, and how we can brew something. Did I grab your attention?
Reddit will block the Internet Archive
The company says that AI companies have scraped data from the Wayback Machine, so it’s going to limit what the Wayback Machine can access.

Since people are dunking on #Meta #scraping again I'll share one tidbit: when @jonah and I was investigating some performance issues, I noticed that Meta-ExternalAgent was scraping /auth/sign_up and one specific invite link with different `accept` parameters (which indicates acceptance of rules), however because Mastodon returns 200 (and shows the rules again) on invalid `accept` parameters the #scraper just keeps going...
Is Meta Scraping the Fediverse for AI?
Is a large corporate entity scraping a community-run open social network to train AI models for profit?

601 instances of us.archive.org
also 858 URLs containing .gov, of which 614 are gov.xx, that is government sites of other countries. So 244 US government sites, including consumer.ftc.gov, houstontx.gov, webharvest.gov (a NARA site), emergency.cdc.gov, ...
I get it that US gov sites are not copyrighted, but still, talk about freeloading
The only positive is that this may be the most comprehensive list of websites existing today.
Capitalism's only skill is to steal the work of others and further exploit the working class!
Perplexity is allegedly scraping websites it's not supposed to, again

When it comes to #AI, could you tf not with all that #scraping? Pay-per-packet could be the future now if some people can't control themselves.
The more you #scrape, the more #developers have to pay, which should yield better and improved infrastructure to decrease the cost, but instead: it could turn the internet into a true "transactional" network.
Suddenly the #internet is run on #microtransactions... hell hath arrived. Granted, this fringe scenario is a bit hyperbolic, but still.
