Artificial intelligence companies are creating incredibly large scale denial of service situations on the infrastructure of Open Source Networks.
Now Network owners need to waste time on Finding ways of sending All These requests of the rogue AI insects to /dev/null

@Dendrobatus_Azureus @altbot The @pidgin infrastructure has been getting hit here too.. My iptables ban lists are getting rather large...
@grimmy @pidgin
The annoying thing is that they are moving like spammers and scammers, which means that they drop IPs like yesterday's news and just attack from other pools

@grimmy @Dendrobatus_Azureus @pidgin So you block the complete AS?
@waldi @Dendrobatus_Azureus @pidgin That's what I've been doing yes but I haven't checked in awhile as my services haven't been flapping in awhile.
@grimmy @waldi @Dendrobatus_Azureus @pidgin just wondering ... If only search engine #crawlers mattered to websites, why weren't all crawlers disallowed and search engines asked to provide an API that sites could call to get selected pages indexed? Sure, newer engines might not get their API called right away, they'd have to solve for that.
With crawlers just acting like different users now, it would be more difficult. Serving websites over Bittorrent would make a difference.
