These are the new AI bots we've been fighting the last few months, using human user agents, many from residential ISPs. It is hell. cryptography.dog/blog/AI-scra...

Bots now make up >30% of worldwide internet traffic according to @cloudflare.social radar.cloudflare.com

It's been bad for a while, but AI has really accelerated it. This is why we focus so much of our time on preventing this garbage traffic from being logged in the first place!

Surface level, Google PageSpeed says they're using Chrome 133. Click for more info, suddenly it's Chrome 119. Actually use it though? Chrome 94 from 2021.

How does anyone actually rely on this?

Correction - they do show the user agent in the results, but clearly, it's a lie, or they wouldn't be getting blocked and the live results wouldn't show version 94.

Google PageSpeed Insights is showing an error for sites with Clicky because blocking old ass user agents is one of the many ways we filter out bot traffic.

Of course, Google doesn't share what user agent they use, so we plugged in whatmyuseragent.com and...

Chrome 94... from 2021... 🫠

Google Maps keeps dropping the hits!

The new color scheme from last year is straight out of Windows 95, the pricing is tripling next month, and now we have this... interesting.... UI for zoom and pan.

Have you ever seen a button layout like this? What is going on?

We just got a Paypal dispute for a transaction from 2021...???

How is that even remotely reasonable? Is there no limit to how far back you can dispute a transaction? Since we sell a service this costs us basically nothing, but imagine if we shipped physical products? WTF, Paypal!
