LLM bots are doing a great job of stress testing infra, so if you are running abominations like Gitlab or any terribly coded site and you are exposing it to the internet, you are just asking for trouble. If anything, Gitlab should stop pumping bloat and focus on some performance, because it's really bad.
I would hope FOSS projects would stick to something like Forgejo, although I am not sure of their CI/CD state. Though my guess is that they are 85% there with 1/10 of Gitlabs resources.
On the other side are of course badly coded bots that are aggressively trying to download everything. This was happening before LLMs and it just increased significantly because of them. I think we will reach a tipping point soon and then we will just assume those bots are just another malicious actor (like regular DDOS), and we will start actively taking them down, even with help of law enforcement.
Last thing I wanna see is 3 second bot challanges on every single site I visit, cookie banners are more than enough of a nightmare already.
