AI is destroying the free internet along with everything else

My web host suspended my website account last week due to a sudden large volume of requests to it - effectively punishing me for being scraped by bots.

I've had to move to a new host to get back up, but what hope does the little guy have? it's like GPU and ram prices, it doesn't matter if I pay 10x 100x or 1000x more than I did, the AI companies have infinite resources, and they don't care what damage they do in the rush to become the no 1 in the industry

The cynic in me would say it's intentional, destroy all the free sites so you have to get your info from their ai models, price home users out of high end hardware so they have to lease the functions from big companies

Keith here, the author of the website! Thanks for posting about my little hobby here, it's actually the second time it's been mentioned over the years,

The site and tutorials started from the multi-platform build scripts I put together to make the original ChibiAkumas V1.666, It felt others could benefit from them, so I made some tutorials and put them on line

The tutorials were far more popular than the game, so I was motivated to start learning more assembly languages, making more build scripts and tutorials... well it got a bit out of hand!!!

You can see all the CPU's and systems I've covered here: https://www.assemblytutorial.com/
