Exciting new horrors for us to confront: the #CreativeCommons organization has decided, inexplicably, to roll out some kind of "pro AI scraping" signals in web requests - based on an expectation of "good faith" from those doing the scraping (????)
This is such a boneheaded decision, and I hope everyone rightfully blasts them for it. CC has (had) a purpose which it fulfilled admirably. It should continue fighting for the rights of its users, not bending to AI companies and rolling out the welcome mat to rampant theft.
