@ide@masto.ai I don't think this is a question of competence: competence could be summed up as an ability to efficiently achieve goals, which involves feedback leading to anticipation of problems (e.g. use domain rate limit -> avoid getting blocked, use cache -> lower compute by using storage). However, there's neither a defined goal nor any feedback here: we can't harm an LLM crawler that causes harm, its developer won't cache an entire internet and has access to near unlimited compute. This is ethics.

@khobochka@mastodon.social pulling the entire internet over the network multiple times is more expensive than caching unchanging parts of it on disk, right? Even disregarding the ethics there's a clear optimalization these developers don't appear to make. Meaning they don't qualify for the "efficiently" part of "an ability to efficiently achieve goals" 'incompetent' seems like a fair conclusion to me so far. Am I missing something? @ide@masto.ai

@khobochka@mastodon.social @ide@masto.ai They literally do not care. They don't to have to. It's the narcissist billionaire mentality that everything exists to serve them.
