I hate that Google don't have an API or open library to detect gemini images, unless you're enterprise. Create a problem then charge API access to get the solution.

Honestly would expect claude do be doing this automatically, seems like a low handing optimisation just sat there.

This is pretty wild: "The agent took control of the ⟨GITHUB_ACCOUNT_A⟩ GitHub account, which had been created by a different Mythos 5 run in a separate sample (see Appendix A.3)"

I've got it at 38.32%. I'm looking at the 'front-door' of the web, active sites, no subdomains, from Crux user experience data.

Will be publishing a report on www.theweb.report soon - if you're interested.

That's a seed of about 13 million domains - pretty sure WordPress would be dominating the even longer tail.

( Also worth noting it's sooo easy to detect a site is WordPress, it screams it across every signal we gather, where-as some sites are just well made and have limited information leaks ).

An audit of the active web, what CMS, hosting and technologies are used.

Custom python crawler getting 240 sites a second crawled and classified. ( homepages and minimal probes, no headless browsers )

Be interested to test some false positives, if you have a URL I'll tell you what I see :)

Ohh Cloudflare verified bot status, interesting I'll check that out.

I'm seeing about 6.6% block rate, but that does climb over time.

Nice one.

I've been doing the same bit wider scope, for the whole Crux list, pruned to apex domains, and looking for CMS signals - how's your throughput?

I'm not doing any headless browser stuff, or many requests, so hyper optimised for speed.

I do grab robots.txt - didn't really see much in llms.txt or humans.txt in the wild, does yours?

What's the context on that?

have found Shopify's AI implementation to be sane and really useful ( building flows and surfacing documentation correctly ).

Total outage by the looks of it, all clients stores not accessible, isn't local.

Yeah likewise. Most of the things you’d need a plugin for in WordPress are already part of the core system, things you need are easy to extend.

I’m doing some really powerful stuff with the custom CLI commands, highly recommend the YouTube video on it. Makes bulk import / api enrichment and other things a breeze.

Yes it is. You can view it on GitHub?

It’s licensed, and I’m happy to pay for a professional sustainable solution.

Might want to check out Kirby cms - sounds like you’ve vibe coded your way to something similar but Kirby will have more niceities.

I'm now a 15'' Air user after always being pro. I notice no difference in performance but enjoy the lighter form factor and damn does it run cool compared to the pro.

Replacing my iPhone was a nothing burger of choice, on paper the iPhone 15 pro was the best feature set for value vs buying a new iPhone 17, but Apple know that so don't sell the older models directly when the new models come out.

There's really limited impactful innovation when you get into the details.
