The fact is that every major company is AI accelerating their development, and soon, it will just be every company. We're already past the point of getting our hackles raised when we suspect something is AI written. Everything is or soon will be AI written. So I don't think it's that useful to blame bad product design on AI. Bad product design is just bad product design. Bad writing is just bad writing. Bad graphic d…

I believe protest and criticism are corrective processes, and we shouldn’t give up.

Thank you! I am a CF customer, I pay for the service, I just want it to get better and better!

>It is already painful to browse web sometimes using the non-"standard" tools (that is, not a Chrome with Google account signed in, not an EU/US residential IP). What if tomorrow Cloudflare checks will require attested and signed browser binaries? If it's painful, that's not because of cloudflare. You can get past turnstile challenges using tor browser in a VM. You still might be blocked because of policies set by si…

>in a VM Are you saying it's possible to detect VMs in the browser without using the WebGL vendor? Mind sharing some resources?

Besides the vendor, you can fingerprint the extensions list, as well as various limits https://browserleaks.com/webgl. Also webgl isn't fully deterministic across vendors (similar to audiocontext, which is affected by compiler/FPU implementations), so you'll get minor differences in output due to differences in rendering pipeline/implementation.

What the author describes is the standard now at all "too big to fail" companies. These companies works in a way where you need to distinguish yourself or you die (even if you're competent), which tends to empower the extrovert with ego/cheek. The slop potion is only a catalyst for this kinda of culture.

There is still hope, but in some cases we are on the real edge of an industrial catastrophe. And by "real" I mean physical (i.e : trains / cars / factories / banks that could go sideways cause of this BS wave).

If trains were having fatal crashes every month I will and I think I speak for everyone of my friends in UK, they should stop using the train. Same with airplane, but often thats the only solution if cloudflare is your only solution in your engineering problem I would much rather you re-review and reframe that problem.

There is more than 1 fatal airplane crash per month, FYI. Same for trains. Same for cars as well for that matter. How do you propose we travel safely?

There is more than 1 fatal airplane crash per month in UK? Where are your stats for this?

Heck there isn't more than 1 commercial airplane crash in every few years globally.

Trains might be higher but if UK is having 12+ crashes a month I think you should really re think things. But again data?

Worldwide. I ask again: how do we travel given that cars, planes and trains are “not serious”?

> but that can hardly be blamed on cloudflare They are installing the gates with configurable locks that the site owners use. They are absolutely to blame.

Should nginx be blamed too, because that also allows site owners to ban tor/VPN users?

Never had the issue of nginx gatekeeping, but Cloudflare's shitty captchas constantly block the access, since my browser settings don't adhere to their MitM-mandated rules.
