📝 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/

I am 43 today. My wish is for everyone to reply with a new conjugation of the word “cunt”.
I’ll start us off:

It's only just sinking in there's a social media platform called Truth Social where sharing is "re-truthing". Feels too stupid to be real.

Not sure what agender fashion is but I had a sudden hankering to own a boilersuit.

@joachim @notabene @ffoodd @HTeuMeuLeu You are a treasure! Just to note that I'm still refining some wording. I'll notify you of any further changes.

Would the ability to sign this, like as a manifesto, be of any help? Thinking it might add weight if referring to it during negotiations.

I've adopted an approach to life which boils down to "what can I do today that will help me sleep better tonight?"
It can be physiological stuff like absorbing some sunlight or getting some exercise, or it can be getting peace of mind (ticking off a dreaded errand or taking a step towards a longer-term goal). So long as I do some of this shit I might actually sleep through these long fucking winter nights.

I am available for new contract work.
I have 20+ years 😩 experience in web design and development and I’m still learning. I have written courses and books that have influenced interface design across the industry. I love prototyping, writing documentation, creative coding, and I do everything with accessibility and inclusion in mind.

@NanoRaptor I did an art degree which, despite being primarily about making art, still had a writing component. Unlike most of my peers, I was a confident writer. One essay, I'm told, caused my lecturer a significant headache because he could not decide if it was A* material or F. He explained he had to compromise and give me a C. I never forgave him and will never go back into academia.

Lot of chat about AI today, especially in relation to Mozilla's continued shenanigans. Just a reminder that I have a video on the subject: https://briefs.video/videos/whats-the-deal-with-large-language-models/
