    Ask HN: Founders/investors, what AI bet you made in 2022 and how it is going?

    In 2022, many founders and investors made strong bets on AI: new companies, pivots, or funding theses. Now that we have had time to see what actually played out, what did you bet o…

    How do you know that they were LLM scrapers? The reason I ask is because user agents could easily be spoofed?

    For those who have deployed Cloudflare in front, what are pros and cons? How's the user experience? Do they offer free bot protection?

    How are you measuring this? Does your solution rely on user agent or device fingerprinting? Curious to know what tools are available today and how accurate they are.

    And this is exactly why we see noise on HN/Reddit when a supply-chain cyberattack breaks out, but no breach is ever reported. Enterprises are protected by internal mirroring.

    I mean that agents can scan the code to find anything "suspicious". After all, security vendors that claim to "detect" malware in packages are relying on LLMs for detection.

    Curious to know why are coding agents not detecting such risks before importing dependencies?
