> The Persian expats here want us to Bomb Iran. The Vietnam expats want us to go back Into Vietnam. The Cubans want us to go take over Cuba again.

Because the world sees your government as a bully.


It is. Members of the imperial core will always find a way to rationalize their imperial brutality.

I mean I'd like to imagine that expats see through it but actually maybe they are less likely since they took great sacrifice to come to the US while I am merely an american because of the geography of my birth.


> Best of luck to you and yours in the coming days, here's to hoping that it all lands on its feet.

Imagine some other country kidnaps your country's President and he sends this message to you


I am not directing him specifically. I should have written "someone's" instead of "yours."

But the main point remains the same. This is an act of terror every sane human should condemn


The parent comment is probably not written by the POTUS.

The operation was not carried by POTUS either.

With all due respect, that is fatalist logic that does nothing to refute the parent's kind words.

Something generated by humans does not mean high quality.


Yes, but AI-generated is always low quality so it makes sense to filter it out.


Grokipedia would like a word


I wouldn't say always... Especially because you probably only noticed the bad slop. Usually it is crap though.


At least when reading a human-made material you can spot author's uncertainty in some topics. Usually, when someone doesn't have knowledge of something, he doesn't try to describe that. AI, however, will try to convince you that pigs can fly.


so I can replace Stripe?


Redirect it to Trump's website. He will take care of it


It's for crawlers not custom scrapers


Respecting robots.txt is a convention not enforced by anything so yes the bot is certainly free to ignore it.

But I’m not sure I understand your distinction. A scraper is a crawler regardless of whether it is “custom”or an off the shelf solution.

The author also said the bot identifed itself as a crawler

> Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; crawler)
