I stumbled across this article:
https://thelibre.news/foss-infrastructure-is-under-attack-by-ai-companies/
There it's mentioned that they started to use something called Anubis that uses proof of work to prevent too many requests from being sent. That got me thinking. If instead of proof of work in your browser, the site requests micro payment via lightning, would that work? Would it be better then the current solution (some legit users report the proof pf work taking 10 or more minutes on their machines)?

So you think making legit users pay to read some code on Github is better?

On my github page I added a robots.txt with some lines blocking these LLM.
Not sure if is 100% effective but at least is something.

The article claims that some LLM scrapers ignore this file.

I'm making up my mind currently and waiting for smart replies to tip the scales in one direction or another.
