# what is going on with SDF?

I've noticed several times that SDF appears to be down.  Sometimes it appears slow and I randomly get disconnected.  I've the boards and there seems to be a problem with people training AI , crawlers, and scrappers.  What happened to respecting the robots.txt?

My first question: Is there  a material to be scrapped? point me to the valuable data?  
is AI so hard up for human created content that they've resorted to bboard?  Is there a large trove of valuable data?  
It doesn't seem like they are building gemini crawlers so from that prospective, the main exposure is proxies like mozz.
To me it appears that all of the capsules are vulnerable to this. 

Is there a way to stop this?
