let's be real, cookie banners were a terrible idea
what should get automated away next?
TypeSafe AI jokes that cookie banners should be the next to automate away
AITypeSafe AI (@typesafeai) says cookie banners were a bad idea and asks which task should be automated next. The post is a reply to Lightpanda, which says its judge() function, built on TypeSafe's Jev and included in the Lightpanda binary, checks whether a page has real content in about 0.2 seconds per call, without sending the full page to an LLM.

@typesafeai
We put Jev inside the Lightpanda binary and built judge() on top of it. @typesafeai No more sending a whole page to an LLM just to find out it's a cookie banner. > Blocked pages, CAPTCHAs, cookie walls, logins, paywalls, error pages, empty searches and pages still loading can all return an HTTP 200 > judge() asks a set of predefined questions and tells you if the page has real content, and what kind: article, listing, product or docs > One call, ~0.2s In the video: > 30 sites, ~14s total > Lightpanda backs off when rate-limited, accepts cookie walls, and keeps or skips each page
