How Cloudflare uses generative AI to slow down, confuse, and waste the resources of AI Crawlers and other bots that don’t respect “no crawl” directives.
So the world is now wasting energy and resources to generate AI content in order to combat AI crawlers, by making them waste more energy and resources. Great! 👍
The energy cost of inference is overstated. Small models, or “sparse” models like Deepseek are not that expensive to run. Training is a one-time cost that still pales in comparison to industrial processes.
Basically, only Altman wants it to be cost prohibitive so he can have a monopoly. Also, he’s full of shit.
