The scrapers are DUMB.
They are not curated, have only basic maintenance, are built to gobble up ANYTHING textual they encounter, without respect, mercy or reason.
Just collect meaningless data.
That’s the nature of the coveted LLMs: just statistics, no understanding, structure or meaning.
And greedy crooks in haste to make quick money just grab everything they can.
The AI bubble needs to pop really soon.

@vampirdaddy @osm_tech this seems a reasonable explanation. Quantity of bytes irrespective of sense. Thank you
