BeautifulSoup is a Python library that allows interacting with webpages inside a program. The high bill would be for having the LLM agent analyze all of the random clicks that I’d be having my Python program make.
Could one be criminally charged for this if one didn’t cover their tracks, out of curiosity? Obviously one would want to do this anonymously or not at all just curious.
It’s not too different from the web scraping that companies have been doing for 30+ years or the LLM training that happens at an insane scale. It’s just intentionally poorly done so that it wastes LLM resources trying to analyze it. Fundamentally, you’re just making a program that clicks links a lot. I don’t see how you could even be successfully civilly penalized for it, let alone criminally, but I’m also not a lawyer.
Uh, can you elaborate on this beautifulsoup on a spare computer? High bill for what?

Thanks for the reply I will look into this.
