Michael van Niekerk 🦀 ☕️ ⚛<p>Right, I've tested Gemini 2.5 and Cloudflare Workers / KV (using Rust). And it is stunning.</p><p>Context: My wife has terrariums. They need constant maintenance (sifting, cleaning). She needs to quickly check when and for what reason something was last processed.</p><p>I've prompted Gemini to create me a Cloudflare worker, paired with an Expo (React Native) app that scans QR codes. These QR codes have a GUID, and the GUID correlates to the last update stored on Cloudflare KV.</p><p>It proceeded giving me code with command line commands to create and deploy the Workers and Expo apps.</p><p>Surprise - the commands didn't work. But they were close.<br>Also surprise - the code didn't compile. But they were close.<br>For the issues - with me knowing what's going on - I could quickly fix what was missing.</p><p>45 minutes later, I've got something running and working correctly.

Jerry on Mastodon<p>I turned this on tonight. Time to get some popcorn. I hope I'll be able to identify this happening in the logs.</p><p>Trapping misbehaving bots in an AI Labyrinth: <a href="https://blog.cloudflare.com/ai-labyrinth/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">blog.cloudflare.com/ai-labyrin</span><span class="invisible">th/</span></a></p><p>We've seen an explosion of new crawlers used by AI companies to scrape data for model training. AI Crawlers generate more than 50 billion requests to the <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Cloudflare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cloudflare</span></a> network every day, or just under 1% of all web requests we see. While Cloudflare has several tools for identifying and blocking unauthorized AI crawling, we have found that blocking malicious bots can alert the attacker that you are on to them, leading to a shift in approach, and a never-ending arms race. So, we wanted to create a new way to thwart these unwanted bots, without letting them know they’ve been thwarted.</p><p>When we detect unauthorized crawling, rather than blocking the request, we will link to a series of AI-generated pages that are convincing enough to entice a crawler to traverse them. But while real looking, this content is not actually the content of the site we are protecting, so the crawler wastes time and resources. </p><p>As an added benefit, AI Labyrinth also acts as a next-generation honeypot. No real human would go four links deep into a maze of AI-generated nonsense. Any visitor that does is very likely to be a bot, so this gives us a brand-new tool to identify and fingerprint bad bots, which we add to our list of known bad actors.</p><p><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AILabyrinth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AILabyrinth</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AIBots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIBots</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AIScanning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIScanning</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AIBotProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIBotProtection</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a></p>
Jake in the desert<p>I know Cloudflare sucks, but this is a good idea and probably the way forward with the AI bs. </p><p>"Instead of simply blocking bots, Cloudflare's new system lures them into a 'maze' of realistic-looking but irrelevant pages, wasting the crawler's computing resources. The approach is a notable shift from the standard block-and-defend strategy used by most website protection services. Cloudflare says blocking bots sometimes backfires because it alerts the crawler's operators that they've been detected.</p><p>'When we detect unauthorized crawling, rather than blocking the request, we will link to a series of AI-generated pages that are convincing enough to entice a crawler to traverse them,' writes Cloudflare.
