At <50M parameters, training costs are completely trivial. You'll spend a lot more on your rent this month.

I disagree. The parents are the ones who should be supervising. The work should not be pushed off to OSS devs or random website operators. Facebook is bad, but I'd rather deal with…

Don't be anything?

Doesn't matter. Even by the typical robots.txt definition, a bot has to operate more or less fully autonomously. If the user initiated the request, it doesn't count, and it shouldn…
