there comes a point during a whipits binge at which you start sifting through a
mixed pile of chargers looking for the ones that still have a seal and this is how we
envision the types of guys that are trapped in pseudoproductive loops where they use their
chatbot to use their chatbot to use their chatbot to use their chatbot to use their chatbot
(d.c. al coda) and never actually do anything besides produce a bunch of foam

Bwahahaha! Claude, Codex, and Hermes installed
unowned code inside corporate networks
Researchers at a stealth startup in Israel scanned 6,214 live domains belonging
to defense contractors, Fortune 500, and Big Tech companies. Of the 8,265 llms.txt and
llms-full.txt files they found (many sites hosted both an llms.txt and an llms-full.txt
file), 120 of them, each on a different site, pointed to one or more code packages or
domain names that werent registered. To test what happens when an AI agent processes such
files, the researchers registered a handful of the unclaimed names and hosted packages that
caused any machine executing them to reach out to their server. Within an hour, the
researchers received a phone-home response from a Fortune 500 company.

Please stop raising awareness. There is too much. I have become too aware.
Written in response to some marketing from neodrop.ai:
Hi! I blog primarily for myself, so the act of writing is part of the memory and learning.
And my readers, however many of them there may be, are there for an authentic version of me.
Similarly, when I read, I'd far rather get the authentic version of what the writer intends.
If they're tempted to use an LLM to generate text, I get far more value from whatever they'd
prompt it with than whatever comes through the LLM. My own brain does a better job of
expanding those thoughts out than whatever stochastic mechanistic process the LLM applies.
So, yeah, I'm not your target audience, and if I think someone is using an LLM to expand
their thoughts, I'll go read another source because it's more important for me to make human
connection than to use the crutch of something that blurs facts and has no real
understanding of the text.
