honestly the thing that makes me walk from alpine might not even be the LLM debate, the governance issues, etc
it might be the fact that i can no longer properly maintain my packages in alpine because the gitlab is being DoSed by AI scrapers
Colin@ariadne ah so that's why it was so incredibly slow. I was going to ask what's up / if there's a problem on the server —but oh, it's overloaded :<
@colinstu our infrastructure is being decimated by LLM scrapers, and yet we can't even agree to say "fuck AI"

@chirpbirb @ariadne caching? storage? why do that when we can just burn a zillion more tokens and charge for it and redo a bunch of work all the time?
diffie@colinstu @chirpbirb @ariadne My wild guess is it's designed and coded by a generation of people who don't know what a caching HTTP proxy server is.

@diffie @colinstu @chirpbirb i don't think they are motivated to be resource efficient, considering they can bill for token use
