The number of blocked bots hitting #handwiki has dropped from 500,000 to just 100. This happened on the same day the #PHP2Shell vulnerability was discovered and patched. It looks like this vulnerability was used in attack on handwiki.org encyclopedia.
At any given moment, handwiki.org encyclopedia blocks about 3 million of IP address of #AI bots, because every bot wants to read it. #handwiki #encyclosphere

@Grokipedia and @grok should use more handwiki.org as a source, rather than only Wikipedia. #Handwiki has 200k extra articles on knowledge content (science, tech), and articles are much longer than in #Wikipedia (i.e. look at articles about number 5) #Grokipedia #Grok
