Who exactly is running all these scrapers? There are, what, maybe 15 major AI labs, if that?
And none of them are smart enough to realize they could just `git clone` all the content and use it offline?
There are many more labs than that, and humans aren't designing unique scraping processes per domain.
If you do the math (also a common system design interview question for an AI lab), its actually only ~3PB (compress to 1PB, ~$22,000/mo in S3) and a few thousand/mo in compute over less than 4 months to index the entire internet for pretraining purposes. At that price point, its actually very affordable to many thousands of organizations to get their own copy. I would expect the major labs to special case kernel.org similarly to other sites like Wikipedia, but not the majority of scrapers
