2/ Okay, I think I might already have some ideas.

My latest #Apache log has 26,694 lines.

In these 26.694 lines, I have:

- 10,724 access requests from "https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/crawler"
- 4.562 access requests from "https://developer.amazon.com/support/amazonbot"
- 3.316 access requests from "https://openai.com/gptbot"

So yeah, I suspect these are the #LLM crawling bots from #Facebook , #Amazon , and #OpenAI who jointly make up for more than half the traffic - and they are hogging the more resource intensive functions, like "Recent Changes" on my wiki.

Fuck those fuckers for causing outages on my websites.

And any suggestions on how to block them (no snark, please - I _am_ new at this.)

OpenAI has paused the ability for Sora users to generate video resembling the late civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. The decision came from King’s estate after users produced “disrespectful depictions” of his image. @Techcrunch has more:

it's hard not to think the "AI overviews" from #google #gemini are getting worse, not better...

(here it is telling me Bybit was hacked for $1.5 billion in August 2025 instead of February... this is only a few months after Gemini patiently explained to me that the US maintains an army base on the moon)

Plus, too many people already trust #OpenAI way more than they should, so it could be more natural and tempting than the others mentioned for users to give it a chance.

Of course, all of this adds up to a #privacy nightmare, but the target audience won't be concerned about that in the slightest.
