Hope they use zero knowledge proofs like ZKPassport app


They should add testing from different ips and account countries, that would be fun too see that Americans are getting different models for example


I think text interface sucks, but at the same time I like how Claude code solve that with questionnaires, I think that’s the most elegant solution to get a lot of valuable context from users in a fast way


You can still have “chat interface” but if you use it for specialized applications you can do better than that.

If I can do some actions with a press of a button that runs code or even some LLM interaction without me having to type that’s so much better.

Feedback interface with plain text is awful, would be much better if there is anything that I have to repeat or fix on my end standing out - or any problem that LLM is looping over quickly discoverable.


Well, previously people have spent countless hours on routines. Nowadays the biggest blocker for progress in the companies are (the lack of) well defined strategy and good planing. Companies pay money to retain the talent that they would need right after they figure out what's the priority right now.


Why not one common channel?


Interesting, I’ve tried checkbot recently and it failed to do any cloudflare gated website, even 1 page. But maybe I’m on the old version


Well, there's not a lot any crawler will be able to do if a website is gated with aggressive bot detection e.g. Puppeteer via a proxy will similar problems. Even if a bypass is found, it could break tomorrow. I've rarely had support messages about this, but most of them were resolved by adding IP addresses or user-agent/header strings to an allow list, or turning down how aggressive the bot detection is. Checkbot is more for crawling sites you have control over so there's more options here.

It is worrying what this means for the future for web crawlers in general though if most sites end up being gated to all bots that aren't from major search engines.


reading this just reminded me how i miss talking to my friends with scientific background


How cool! I didn’t expect it will end up with ZK proofs that I was curious about for a long time. (After reading it I still don’t quite get the details of how they are working tho)


Kudos for creating checkbot! Saved me hours at some point and we were a paying customers for long.


sounds like there might be some conspiracy... pls do
