Until these bots become good citizens (eg: respecting robots.txt), I will be serving them gzipped gibberish that decompresses to terabytes.

The ball is in their court. You don’t get to demand civility AFTER being a dick. You apologize and HOPE you’re forgiven.

What do you reckon, does OP in this post respect robots.txt or do they "borrow" content in a similar manner, without respecting such standards?
I thought the AI wars would be fought with bombs vs. bots not with ZIP bombs vs. bots.
