screenshot of a messaging app conversation. The main text at the top reads: "Then, yesterday morning, KDE GitLab infrastructure was overwhelmed by another AI crawler, with IPs from an Alibaba range; this caused GitLab to be temporarily inaccessible by KDE developers." Below this, there are several messages in a chat interface. The first message is from a user named "bcooksley" at 11:35, stating: "Invent is getting Denial of Service'd by an Alibaba IP range." The second message is from a user named "Akseli" at 11:38, saying: "LLM bots again?" The third message is from a user named "svuorela" at 11:39, with the text: "* svuorela ([@]_irc_svuo...).
