Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

@FRACTRANS @gerikson I'm really confused about the underlying goal of (forgive me if I've missed a detail) providing a page for public access that contains PII / PHI but not letting a commercial entity crawl or index it.

Like... It seems like that scenario is set up to fail? If you provide a page for public access (unauthenticated / unauthorized), you don't have very much control over who copies / consumes that data at all.

The concern is not about crawling, it’s about users clicking on the little copilot button in edge and having the page contents sent over

@FRACTRANS OH! Oh, yes, that's... That's not great. That's not great at all.
