Have you investigated how much of your business has been diverted by AI agents scraping articles from your site and essentially presenting them to the users through their UI?

And related, do you see a future where info products become much more proprietary/hidden due to scraping?

I can see it's marked "educational", but would it be also suitable for smallish embedded devices ? Assuming the bootloader part is swapped out, etc.

> or is it just a neat academic toy

The Internet was a neat academic toy at one point for whatever that's worth :-)

And now all these tesla folks will buy the next cool thing and continue the cycle.. We got them again!

Do you have any actual evidence of capital moving out of the United States? Besides opinion pieces, I mean. I'm genuinely curious.

Wow, it's never too late to find a HN secret link!

Isn't this way more about regulation rather than the tech?

Still would be cool to see even if not allowed on the roads :-)

It made a lot of really good choices in the late 90s when a lot of dot-com companies started and a lot of people around the world started getting interested in making their own websites. It eventually snowballed to the LAMP stack which became the most user friendly way of doing stuff on the web on low budget. The inertia from this is massive so it's staying for a bunch more years.

..and loads and loads of politicians that pretend they can solve problems above while shamelessly grifting.

Can I just ask about the reason for this? Was it owners wanting off the ride?

> A lot of people treat economics as though damage didn't happen unless someone acknowledges it.

This is what I call the TV effect. People are trained from an early age, by consuming media, to only construct what is "real" by what is announced. And it's not just economics, but all sorts of aspects of life.

> But everyone knows that's not what killed them.

Another addition I'd like to add here is more often then not wrong people get booted while the "dead weight" tends to stick around and becomes even deader due to a motivation fall from the layoff. So maybe it doesn't kill, but for sure exacerbates an already bad situation.

> you think a government can? Browser engines are really hard to build.

As opposed to CERN being easy to build!? I'd say is totally doable, but it doesn't promise filling anyone's pockets at the moment so traction is hard. Who knows, maybe in the future..
