This is a bit of an experiment, stick with me. The core idea here is that badly written crawlers are that: badly written. They look for anything that contains `<a href="whatever" />` tags and will blindly use those values to recurse. This takes advantage of that by hiding a link in a `<script>` tag like this: ```html <script type="ignore"><a href="/bots-only">Don't click</a></script> ``` Browsers will ignore it because they have no handler for the "ignore" script type. This current draft is very unoptimized (it takes like 7 seconds to generate a page on my tower), however switching spintax libraries will make this much faster. The hope is to make this pluggable with WebAssembly such that we force administrators to choose a storage method. First we crawl before we walk. The AI involvement in this commit is limited to the spintax in affirmations.txt, spintext.txt, and titles.txt. This generates a bunch of "pseudoprofound bullshit" like the following: > This Restoration to Balance & Alignment > > There's a moment when creators are being called to realize that the work > can't be reduced to results, but about energy. We don't innovate products > by pushing harder, we do it by holding the vision. Because momentum can't > be forced, it unfolds over time when culture are moving in the same > direction. We're being invited into a paradigm shift in how we think > about innovation. [...] This is intended to "look" like normal article text. As this is a first draft, this sucks and will be improved upon. Assisted-by: GLM 4.6, ChatGPT, GPT-OSS 120b Signed-off-by: Xe Iaso <me@xeiaso.net>

This current draft is very unoptimized (it takes like 7 seconds to generate a page on my tower), however switching spintax libraries will make this much faster.EDIT(2025-12-16 01:32 UTC-4): This has been fixed and it takes microseconds now.The hope is to make this pluggable with WebAssembly such that we force administrators to choose a storage method.

This is intended to "look" like normal article text according to normal word frequency graphs. LinkedIn being so vacuous helps a lot here. As this is a first draft, this sucks and will be improved upon.
