I'd link to some blog posts about this an example, but the site they're from went down a while ago.

At risk of giving anyone ideas, why do LLM training scrapers request pages from sites millions of times per day instead of just doing the equivalent of wget -r https://example.com/ ? If the point is just stealing things people have written, what do they accomplish by wasting a web host's resources beyond being an ⊛ to webmasters?

I painted this little Star Wars inspired piece this morning and I'm going to try to add the title as text and make another T-shirt. Wish me luck!

Robert Kraft has also faced several criminal charges. In 2019, he was charged in Florida with soliciting prostitution after he was captured on video engaging in sex acts with a worker at a massage parlour.

Kraft's actions were captured on video as part of a larger investigation into human trafficking and prostitution at several massage parlours in the area. Despite denying the allegations, Kraft was among those charged in connection with the investigation.

However, beyond the surface of a mere prostitution case, some voices in the public sphere raised concerns that the incident may be linked to sex slavery.

The gravity of the situation surrounding the human trafficking ring in Florida became increasingly apparent as Martin County Sheriff revealed distressing details.

The women involved were subjected to harrowing conditions, with no respite, as they were given no days off. Their lives were marked by a staggering cycle of exploitation, with each woman forced to service an average of about 1,500 men a year.

Questions arose regarding why a billionaire like Kraft would seek services from a regular masseuse in town, prompting deeper scrutiny into the circumstances surrounding the case.

In September 2020, Florida prosecutors dropped the prostitution charges against Kraft.
