@davidgerard ngl, I have seriously considered black holing AWS, Google, meta, and azure cloud IP ranges. The services I’m hosting are for people, and to a first approximation people come from residential IP addresses nor cloud providers.
@davidgerard You're damn right we're blocking those fuckers - with every tool at our disposal.
For Christmas all I want is FOBS and a set of co-ordinates for every "AI" datacentre...

It's a technology deeply rooted in disrespect for other people's resources. Other people's time, money, electricity, water, labour both physical and intellectual, art and writing are what it was built on without compensation.
Also it's massively inefficient compared to algorithmic computation.
So if you let the agents on your website, they'll brute-force scrape every page 1000 times to find how to buy one of whatever you're selling, possibly incorrectly, and then not buy it.
