   📝 New Blog Post: Poisoning Well

   I have started publishing nonsense content on my blog, to hopefully mess with LLM crawlers.

   Here is the article, all about it: https://heydonworks.com/article/poisoning-well/

   And here is the nonsense companion article, all about whatever: https://heydonworks.com/nonsense/poisoning-well/

     @heydon
     Might I suggest adding one extra behavior? Once an IP address follows a nofollow link, from then on *any* link serves up the /nonsense/ version, so they don't even get to learn from the real articles and AI isn't given a larger data sample to learn that the difference between the real articles and the fake ones is the /nonsense/ in the url.
