    I’m curious if this was some kind of DDOS, or if someone was trying to use it to train AI and was pulling everything to make a local copy

    About the only way to ensure you’re not training AI on bots, is to use “old internet” when bots were more obvious

      This is going to become a valued commodity like pre-atomic low background steel, isn’t it?

        Right but they’ve achieved absolutely nothing other than being mildly annoying. Doesn’t really seem like it would be worth funding.

          That’s not entirely correct: One achievement was me donating money to the IA after this nonsense 😁
