If LLM/AI companies could maybe stop DDoS-ing git forges from open-source communities for five minutes, that would be just amazing.

@carl we literally had to put a proof-of-work reverse proxy in front of the GNOME gitlab instance to mitigate AI scrapers leaving about 10% of the available resources to the people actually using gitlab. It's a disaster.

@ebassi @carl Fedora infrastructure services have been regularly down for weeks because of AI scrapers. I'm so frustrated. 😦
