   @zachleat That sounds interesting. Can you say more or point to more info?

      @tink https://llmstxt.org/ is docs for the proposal and this thought likely stems from a somewhat heated discussion on Bluesky a few days ago: https://bsky.app/profile/zachleat.com/post/3lix4zcjuwc2j

         @zachleat That discussion on Bluesky is all kinds of yikes. 😬

   @zachleat So tempted to create a /llms.txt that just says “GTFO.”

      @knowler we are on the same wavelength now: https://fediverse.zachleat.com/@zachleat/114065224554692578

   I propose that we use an llm. subdomain for LLMs to consume just like we *needed* an m. subdomain for mobile in 2010

   @zachleat I would be for this if there was any reason to believe LLM scrapers would stop at the llms.txt file and leave my actual site alone

      @zachleat (I mean not like I’d put any content in it, but)
