As part of a time-limited trial, yesterday we removed the www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com robots.txt "block" on *one* GenAI crawler.

Here's a graph of total daily requests from that 1 GenAI crawler by content-type. You'll note, they've retrieved ~460k web pages in ~16 hours, so a mean of ~28,750 web pages per hour. They'll likely pull ~690k pages today, ~32GB egress.

Whilst this is a drop in the ocean versus our other traffic, I can easily see how this could sink a smaller website.

The Petalinux third party EULA from Xilinx is 287MB of raw ASCII text.

To compare, a King James Bible is about 4.3MB.

Average speeding speed reportedly peaks around 350 wpm.

Approximately 780,000 words in the bible (average word length is thus about 6).

So the average person could in theory read a bible through in about 37 hrs, or reading for 8 hours a day, about 5 days.

To read through this very important license agreement, at the same rate, would take just shy of 300 days (with no days off).

I'm told online that company legal reps start at about $100 an hour. So we're looking at an estimated low end cost to review the EULA by legal of $238,000.

Yeah. I'm sure every company using Petalinx does that.

So...I ended up having to start over because the game was in an unwinnable state. Basically locked into a quest for a character whose era was still locked.

But, that meant I got to try out the Yakra skip! (And now I know what NOT to do after getting Go mode)
