Recent years have shattered all previous records, indicating a dire escalation in our climate crisis. This threatens vital marine ecosystems and our global climate stability. We need leadership in action now.

One of the challenges early Google had to deal with was sites changing what data they provided based on the user agent. Basically, if Google then SEO spam.
Granted, it was easy to spot that because the data being consumed and processed could be checked.
I wonder if that's equally true for LLM crawlers, which don't use the same check system, because Move Fast & Dumb Things?

To Err Is Human, but Llamas Can Learn It Too
This study explores enhancing grammatical error correction (GEC) through artificial error generation (AEG) using language models (LMs). Specifically, we fine-tune Llama 2-based LMs for error generation and find that this approach yields synthetic errors akin to human errors. Next, we train GEC Llama models with the help of these artificial errors and outperform previous state-of-the-art error correction models, with gains ranging between 0.8 and 6 F0.5 points across all tested languages (German…

Biden breaks with Netanyahu but sticks with Israel
President Biden has begun breaking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Gaza war strategy — while sticking with Israel and its fight against Hamas, which is still holding hostages.
Biden hoped for weeks that he could use the war to push his Saudi mega-deal after the fighting. But in many ways, Biden sees Netanyahu as the one responsible for the deal slipping away.
