No mention of the blind, visually impaired, or disabilities anywhere on the page. Is "destroying accessibility to own the bots" the new "destroying your economy to own the libs" ?
For some of us, the alternative is to not publish anything anymore. And no, defending against the largest theft of labour and IP in human history is not like wanting to "own the libs".
This mindset is as insufferable as the opposite one. Can we find some middle ground?
For example, like humans, machines can read as much as they like and the people behind them are punished if they violate copyright law. What do authors' lose when Ai has their (paid for) writing in the training set?
Feel free to suggest how a fee can be enforced for AI companies who access your content. As it currently stands, neither the current web protocols, nor the auditing of model weights, nor the legal system provide any reliable means to accomplish what you suggest.
You're right of course; harming one's own economy also impacts the ones actively choosing to do it. Crippling (heh) screen readers disproportionately harms those who already have a difficult time navigating the world without sight.

iirc, Cloudflare has a thing
we'll work these things out if we communicate towards compromise and are not defeatist already
I've been paying attention for the past 20 years so I'm not holding my breath for a compromise.

Not making something available is not harm; it's the default. I suggest you forward further complaints upstream, to the AI companies.
