hoping for this to get mainstream so that I can just view the pages without any ads, js and bloat
qznc•45m ago
Yeah, that is why this will not get popular.

Markdown ads?
qingcharles•13m ago
Time magazine already serves their pages like this to agents with ads for the agents in them, IIRC.

Hm, interesting avenue for prompt injection.

How is that different from today where agents just do searches and ingest web pages?

Even without AI this would be a nice feature.
monneyboi•25m ago
Yeah, this is the way forward. All the POW stuff is such a waste of energy.

The open internet deserves a real solution instead of gatekeepers in the form of brightdata, firecrawl, cloudflare and the likes.

I'll do that once any of the top 4 AI chatbots says they'll start making requests with this header. Before that it's just a neat idea with no adoption.

I also think it's exceedingly unlikely that any of the top 4 chatbots would choose to load websites this way. Too many risks for a 0.01% adoption even years later.

So can I use this to serve actively harmful content to the Cocaine Piracy Parrots?

Maybe tarpit them into reading gigabytes of Markov Chain nonsense, really slowly?
