(not a reply but) seems like it *could* be useful, though i'd definitely want zas to weigh in on the nature of the tool & how it might/might not help us:... (full message at <https://matrix.chatbrainz.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/chatbrainz.org/bjWUUASxuyTmCAaZqkuENRei>)

the part that makes our situation hard to defend against is that it's not like the scrapers are making themselves obvious as bots:

- their user-agents are not obvious declarations of, say, chatgpt or the like; instead, they're (made to) look like normal browsers

- they come at us from constantly shifting blocks of residential IP addresses worldwide (there are services that are essentially tailor made for this sort of scraping work, where they pay ppl a little money to run traffic thru their home networks)

I haven't looked into iocaine/I didn't find a plain language description, but I've seen other services that possibly do the same thing, which is breadcrumb nonsense for the AI to follow
<reosarevok[m]> "monkey: how often did you say..." <- The last time was a while ago (more than a year ago), so I think your assumption is correct.

Can you run an update once at least before we wrangle bitmap to figure out how to automate it?

reosarevok: I found a better and faster method than whatever I was doing before, areas now updated. Thanks for the nudge

Can we have a video call next week to discuss it? Not sure if we can make it work for everyone, but I'm also happy to do a late side chat with aerozol to discuss design separately.
