Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

It's impossible, i got this instance to just see lemmy from my own instance, but no, it was slow as hell the whole week, i got new pods, put postgres on a different pod, pictrs on another, etc.

But it was slow as hell. I didn't know what it was until a few hours before now. 500 GETs in a MINUTE by ClaudeBot and GPTBot, wth is this? why? I blocked the user agents, etc, using a blocking extension on NGINX and now it works.

WHY? So google can say that you should eat glass?

Life is now hell, if before at least someone could upload a website, now even that is painfull.

Sorry for the rant.

Just cache. Read only traffic should add negligible load to your server. Or you're doing something horribly wrong

They are 1 cpu and 1 gb of ram pods, postgres goes to 100% cpu on 500 requests per minute, after i put the NGINX extension, it reduced to at max 10%. On weaker servers, these bots make hell on earth, not the config.

Load should be near zero for reads.
