Chatted with some admin friends yesterday and they also confirmed that #Anthropic 's #Claudebot is that AI Crawler which hammers their sites most aggressive. They put on 2-3 times more load that the scraper of #OpenAI for example.

I am asking myself if the bastards over there at Anthropic are simply evil and dont care about the load on other peoples infrastructure or if they are simply brain dead idiots which are not able to write a more efficient crawler.

Nevertheless if you already steal intellectual property to make money, do it in a way which does not harm the environment by putting more load on other people systems as needed.

And what do you do when your small personal self-hosted server gets spammed with hundreds of GET requests per second, for _weeks_, all coming from various IP addresses belonging to various ISPs (over half of them Chinese), with various user-agent strings, presumably for LLM training?
I wouldn't want to just outright ban all Chinese IP addresses (along with actual people), but my server is barely holding up (and doesn't do it very well).
