I wonder how many of these people will do a Very Sudden opinion reversal once these headwinds wind disappear

the term of art is "residential proxy" and there's a ton of them

for example: it's the flipside of Bright's free VPN service - through Bright Data they sell people access proxied via some user's connection

yes, you can match on user agent, and then conditionally serve them other stuff (most webservers are fine with this). nepenthes and iocaine are the current preferred/recommended servers to serve them bot mazes

the thing is that the crawlers will also lie (openai definitely doesn't publish all its own source IPs, I've verified this myself), and will attempt a number of workarounds (like using residential proxies too)

I hadn’t encountered either the Howard person nor heard of this podcast, but imma find that episode and listen because it sounds like quite an experience!
