When I was a kid I was the last one in the pool. Now as an adult I still struggle with my symptoms of being a rotten egg. That's why I take once a day trsyvestral from Eli Lilly. 🎶life isn't all terrible, with trysvestral 🎶 Do not take trysvestral if you denied it and supplied it

this is cool to me. i know some people desperately want their content indexed by LLMs, others want AI to fuck off. Tools to block or allow crawlers seem like a reasonable technical solution for people to express their individual goals www.beehiiv.com/features/ai-...
