    says agentic traffic wasn’t expected to eclipse real people until next year

    … which means, it already happened a year or two ago and it is much, much worse than anyone can imagine

      Ya fuck at this rate I’m gonna have to go outside to talk to a real person before the end of summer.

            That’s a great question, with a lot of possibilities for insightful discussion. You appear to be referencing interrogation footage of the Parkland high school shoo

    I’m so sick of these bubble pump articles. Just fucking pop already so we can go on about our lives.

    Ugh, what pathetic reporting, taking him at his word—that’s not what his own numbers say! It’s not agentic traffic, it’s just all bot traffic! And what’s the number-one cause of bot traffic right now?

    AI scrapers, NOT agentic traffic!

    They’re taking “wow, our scrapers are destroying the internet (see Anubis, “Stop Externalizing Your Costs Directly Into My Face”, etc) and spinning it into “wow, look how powerful agentic garbage is,” while carefully hiding the actual agentic numbers so they can pump this stupid bubble even more!

    Lies, lies, lies, it’s all lies all the way down…

    Time for an alternative? Let the bots have the current Internet, we get a new, better, and more secure one.

        We could have a file, like robots.txt, that tell them they aren’t allowed. They would respect it, surely.

        That’s a good question for which I have no good answer. It’s clearly something that would have to be dealt with.

    You’re absolutely right— and here’s the thing— it happened! Bots get it done 😎
