How to make sure you're not going to be on schedule: ask a question about file formats in a room full of archivists and digital preservation professionals. Discussion is guaranteed to snowball 😅

@BertrandCaron Effectivement, j'ai constaté ça aussi, les outils mis en place (Anubis chez nous) soulagent bien les serveurs face à la pression des robots mais les crawlers web "légitimes" sont des victimes collatérales de ces mesures. Du coup, des sites institutionnels ne peuvent de facto plus être archivés.
Les guillemets autour de légitime sont volontaires, car qu'est-ce qui distingue (hors système de patte blanche) un robot légitime d'un robot illégitime? L'agressivité de la capture?
"AI startups are annihilating cash : nowhere are the subsidies higher than those of Anthropic and OpenAI, who use their tens of billions of dollars of funding to allow users to burn anywhere from $3 to $13 per every dollar of subscription."
"Anthropic and OpenAI will have to massively reduce the amount of tokens that people use."
A large part of AI demand only exists due to subsidies, and if these companies were to charge a sustainable rate, said demand would evaporate
