Question: those artificial stupidity bots want to steal the issues or want to steal the code? Because why they're wasting a lot of resources scraping millions of pages when they can steal everything via SSH (once a month, not 120 times a second)

It's always a cat-n-mouse game.

Eventually we'll have "defensive" and "offensive" llm's managing all kinds of electronic warfare automatically, effectively nullifying each other.

For mbin I managed to kill the attack of the scrapers only using cloudflare managed challenge for all except to fediverse post endpoints, from fediverse ua agents on certain get endpoints. Managed challenge on everything else.

So far, they've not gotten past it. But, a matter of time.

man, you'd think they'd just use the actual activitypub protocol to inhale all that data at once and not bother with costly scraping.

This A aint very I

AI was never intelligent. It’s a marketing term, that’s all. It has absolutely no meaning.
