  • Still this seems like a HackerOne problem, they’re acting as the middleman and I assume are taking part of the payout. What are they doing to earn the money they’re taking? The reason to go with HackerOne is to facilitate the interactions with people and pass the reports. It shouldn’t be a Curl maintainers responsibility to spot obvious AI slop. Maybe this is just the tier they’re on with HackerOne, but considering this is HackerOne’s business model, I would imagine that if huge companies are also dealing with this, then HackerOne will loose a lot of clients.

    Ninja Edit: Obviously the problem is the people creating AI Slop, but HackerOne should be the ones dealing with it, not OpenSource Maintainers.
















  • Is there a really a quota on the CSAM detection, or do you mean catbox would only get a free 1GB of storage? No one’s saying that Cloudflare would give away 1 PB of traffic for free, obviously catbox would have to pay for it. Still though, Cloudflare or another CDN adds a lot of value which would be hard to replicate.

    At that volume, you need to scale a lot, which is what CDNs are designed to do. Moving 1 PB a month in traffic would be like a sustained upload speed of 3 Gbps for an entire month, which is huge for any ISP, and cost a lot. You’d probably need to divide the traffic going out which means multiple ISP connections, and more machines for redundancy. Probably at that scale, connections are coming from all over the world, so to reduce latency, you’ll need locations in multiple continents to serve quicker. As you can probably tell, this becomes more than just one time purchases and electricity costs.

    CDNs have dedicated fiber links between geographic locations and negotiated volume discount rates on bandwidth with other ISPs. From a cost and a reliability perspective, it means you can deliver content for less than hosting it all on your own.
