- Twirrim 2y agoYup, using iocaine https://lib.rs/crates/iocaine https://lib.rs/crates/iocaine. AI crawlers are getting text generated by a markov chain built from Moby Dick. Is it effective? Eh, probably not. Fun though.
- cozzyd 2y agoWell now that Ross ulbricht has been pardoned I'm not sure iocaine is all that useful
- theragra 2y agoLawless or lawful? I don't understand why people hate crawlers that much. I understand arguments about ones that violate robots.txt, but not correct ones.
