Local models for privacy.

You want to go to the world's best hotel? You are gonna be on their CCTV. Staying at home is crappier but private.

Unfortunately for the first time moores law isn't helping (e.g. give a poor person an old laptop and install linux they will be fine). They can do that and all good except no LLM.

Meet me in a cafe and I will sign a JWT saying you're not a bot. You can submit this to whoever will accept it.

I've been doing that for years. Cloudflare is slowly breaking more and more of the web.

I am not Nick, but there's a few ways that world happens: the free tier goes away and what people pay for more correctly reflects what they use, this all becomes cheap enough that it doesn't matter, or we come up with an end to end method of determining usage is triggered by a person.

Another way is to just do better isolation as a user. That's probably your best shot without hoping these companies change policies.

What if I run a website and OpenAI produces bot traffic? Do they also consider it abuse when they do it?

>It's getting to the point where a user needs at minimum two browsers. One to allow all this horrendous client checking so that crucial services work, and another browser to attempt to prevent tracking users across the web.

What are you talking about? It works fine with firefox with RFP and VPN enabled, which is already more paranoid than the average configuration. There are definitely sites where this configuration would get blocked, but chatgpt isn't one of them, so you're barking up the wrong tree here.

There is also the browser I use to get Claude to route around people blocking its webfetch. Both Playwright and chrome-mcp.

Firefox multicontainers are pretty cool. But it’s an advanced process that most people wouldn’t do or do correctly.
