@pixelriot @iamdtms @nixCraft @chriscoyier @beep If I were an AI company I would never use any user agent in this list.

@iamdtms @nixCraft @chriscoyier @beep please don't block CCBot though, it's extremely well behaved cc @pjox

@fay @iamdtms @nixCraft @chriscoyier @beep We Crawl very slowly and very politely, always respecting robots.txt. We have been doing so for years, way before LLMs. Yes some companies have used our crawls for AI training, but we’re mainly a research crawl, our goal is to provide resources to researchers, archive and actually increase visibility of underrepresented parts of the web.

@fay @iamdtms @nixCraft @chriscoyier @beep There are also people who are starting to use our crawls in order to build indexes and alternative open web search engines, which I love, I don’t believe a handful of companies should be deciding the content that people consume on the web.

@pjox @fay @nixCraft @chriscoyier @beep Thank you for letting me know. I'll act like this.
