I see a golden opportunity to integrate react into angular!

Nothing there yet on the website.

I scroll down and the page turns black with a text in the middle

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

well that’s a first for me…

you evil AI you! /s

Unless you continuously change you IP I don’t see how locking DNS resolution behind a signup would solve it. You only need to resolve once, and then you know the mapping of domain to IP and can use it elsewhere. That mapping doesn’t change often for hosted services.

Any wall you build up will also apply to regular users you want to reach.

They’re using svn for sources :( mirrored to GitHub at least.

Damn, for a thief they’re really stomping and dragging (if that’s the right en term) their feet in the test video. Such loud and sandy foot steps.

and include expensive endpoints like git blame, every page of every git log, and every commit in your repository. They do so using random User-Agents from tens of thousands of IP addresses, each one making no more than one HTTP request, trying to blend in with user traffic.

That’s insane. They also mention crawling happening every 6 hours instead of only once. And the vast majority of traffic coming from a few AI companies.

It’s a shame. The US won’t regulate - and certainly not under the current administration. China is unlikely to.

So what can be done? Is this how the internet splits into authorized and not? Or into largely blocked areas? Maybe responses could include errors that humans could identify and ignore but LLMS would not to poison them?

When you think about the economic and environmental cost of this it’s insane. I knew AI is expensive to train and run. But now I have to consider where they leech from for training and live queries too.

That’s what the major part of version numbers is all about! /s
