I have a hypothetical question: lets say I want to slightly scramble the content of my site (no so much so as to be obvious, but enough that most knowledge within is lost) when I detect that a request is coming from one of these bots, could I face legal repercussions?

even though nothing in america any longer can be apolitical it is unfair to say that people on the left love immigration. more accurate politically would be that people on the right (smartly) realized that it is election-advantageous to make immigration a political issue. hence on the button - several months before every election cycle there goes a caravan of immigrants that all MSM starts following from El Salvador and what not.
america needs immigrants, both ones coming through the soutern border as well as those flying in to JFK with the view of Statue of Liberty. both political parties are money-lobby driven and immigrants, both blue and white collar, are good for business.
When you have a mass of unemployed or underemployed citizens and you tell them (or show them) that the solution you concocted for their problem is to bring in more workers (directly expanding skilled immigration programs and in the case of illegal immigration... turning a blind eye) you made it a political issue, these people are now likely at odds with your discourse.
I can get behind the argument that MSM uses it this on every election cycle, but to deny that the US workers (both blue and white collar) are getting negatively affected by this is putting on a blindfold.
> ... both blue and white collar, are good for business.
That is a truism, of course more people consuming is good for business. The problem is defining "business", its side effects, and who owns it. There is a whole bunch of work on assessing the impact of immigration on local populations (a lot of it propaganda tbf), but reality is that something that benefits Twitter, Amazon, or Microsoft bottom lines might not be aligned with the interests of the workers in the same geographical areas, and this money might not trickle down at all (btw the failure of trickle down is a very common leftist argument...)
Bezos being able to import a bunch of devs might make him and the landlords in Seattle a bit more rich, but benefit none to Joe the recent graduate that needs a job to pay the bills and cannot really afford to retrain on another field with a more favorable supply/demand ratio.
Care to explain? A lot of the reasons posited here involve, for example, Elon firing 70+% of Twitter staff and still having a “functional” site. Elon doesn’t seem to have a particular leftward lean. Covid related stimulus (advocated by those in the left) in fact fueled a lot of the rapid growth in engineering roles in the past four years.
We are also locked in with at least the next four years of very right leaning US government, so if you’re a business basing your hiring on the expected “lean” of the government, how exactly is that the lefts fault? Heck the next two years the republicans have the trifecta plus a majority on the Supreme Court.
The explanation is simple: most people on the left love immigration. Well guess what, people on H1Bs are competing for the same tech jobs everyone else is. There is this fallacy (promoted by the tech billionaires) that the import of tech workers is due to a lack of skill in local workers, and this is simply not true (very much the opposite actually), I saw it first hand at every single company I worked at; the real reason is to be able to excerpt as much control over the life of the worker as possible (they cannot switch jobs as easily as a citizen), that's it.
You are actually supporting this stance with your argument. When Elon fired a bunch of people at Twitter who prevailed? H1Bs of course...
Independently of who is controlling the government something has to be done about it, ideally reforming the H1B program to be for very highly skilled workers (my threshold would be something akin of the knowledge an engineer at ASML/TMSC has) and not random CRUD developers.

Isn’t OpenAI profitable if they stop training right at this moment? Just because they’re immediately reinvesting all that cash doesn’t mean they’re not profitable.
And if they stop training right now their "moat" (which I think is only o1 as of today) would last a good 3 to 6 months lol, and then to the Wendy's it is.
EdgeDB | SREs / Infrastructure Engineers | Full-time | Fully remote | https://www.edgedb.com/
EdgeDB is an open-source database built on top of Postgres. It’s designed to give developers a better end-to-end user experience than traditional SQL databases. We provide a more expressive schema modeling & query language (EdgeQL), and "batteries included" features such as built-in schema migrations and a graphical schema browser, data explorer, and access control/auth.
We offer a hosted cloud service for EdgeDB, with the goal of doing developer-friendly cloud hosting "the right way" - we want users to use our hosted service because it's great, not because they're locked-in by restrictive licensing or cloud-only features.
We are looking for experienced SREs / infrastructure / devops engineers to help scale out our cloud. Unlike many infrastructure roles, this is not supporting a separate product team - for us, our infrastructure is our product. We are looking for people who care about not just building reliable infrastructure but also exposing that infrastructure to end-users as a seamless product.
Our tech stack is Hashicorp tools (Terraform, Consul, Nomad, Vault); Postgres; Golang with some Python & Rust; and AWS (with eventual expansion to other cloud platforms)
We are a remote-first company, headquartered in San Francisco, with most of the team working in US/Canada timezones and a few people in Europe. Unfortunately we are unable to provide any visa/immigration sponsorship at this time.
To apply, send your resume to jobs at edgedb dot com and mention you saw this post on Hacker News.
PSA I don't think they are really trying to fill these positions. I applied a couple times (with a lot of experience very relevant to their line of work) and didn't hear a thing, but the positions keep getting posted. They are either aiming to H1B it, or are expecting candidates from a specific school/previous-employment? (in which case, don't waste people's time, just reach out to those you are really interested in)
