Websites block AI agents from working with them, until either: The AI agent provider pays them for it or the AI agent provider does a deal to push traffic to them specifically, at which point your suggested actions are polluted to push traffic per the deal or the extra cost trickles down to your payment for it. There is no free lunch in the modern internet.

Turns out when prices double or triple, less people buy a given thing.

Wasn't this exactly what people wanted?

To the "Pre-crime" folks commenting:

Look, you can either get people using AI to plan crimes and "Nothing's wrong till it happens" or alert the authorities because people might be trying to plan a real crime. These are mutually exclusive routes.

"Some of you may die, and that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."

I seriously doubt the urge to slow down here has anything to do with safety. My guess is their trying to build a plausible reason to explain to their bond holders why their slowing down / not returning as much money as they said they would.

"Yea, that's why unions make almost zero sense for high skilled jobs. This essentially adds some foundation to the lowest performers while kneecapping top end pay ranges."

This is the definition of "Fuck you, I got mine" type of ladder pulling that needs to stop. At the high end, pay in this industry is great. Is it doctor or high end lawyer high? No but it's still pretty damn good and I see no reason why the people at the lower end couldn't get a bit of an improvement to their situation.

"If a police chief "stood in front of a city council and asked for permission to install hundreds of cameras just so his officers could investigate the high crime of 'haha,' they would be laughed out of the room,""

Uh, have these people seen some of these city council folks before? Some of them would gladly throw money at the police department for any reason.

Because there's not much we're "free from" at this point.

This is like saying that the advances in BIO weapons are going to keep going until we have a rapidly expanding flesh melting virus, someone's going to make it eventually so why stop trying?

Classic trying to protect your market under the guise of "National Security"

American's #1 issue these days: Affordability.

The solution? Add another "Tax" on things.

"Slow clap" great job

That's the really sad part. No aftermarket for them since they will all be industrial grade parts not even compatible with home systems.

If they want the public opinion for AI to improve then they need to show that it won't enrich only the wealthy while the public continues to have our wages get flatlined.

These things really need to be shut down. Their just gambling & insider trading by a different name.

This is just another blatant attempt of the executive branch and it's delegated agencies to take control away from the legislative by ignoring the law.
