[^1]: It turns out that the developer behind Bubbles.town [used an LLM to categorize blogs](https://brennan.day/floating-up-an-interview-with-the-creator-of-bubbles-town-benjamin-behnke/), even when AI crawlers were specifically disallowed in a blog's [robots.txt](/robots.txt). He has since owned up to the mistake and apologized, but… [oof](/ai).
[^2]: Autistici/Inventati has been [found guilty of thoughtcrime](https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesperson/2026/08/designation-of-autistici-inventati-as-a-specially-designated-global-terrorist) and designated as a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist,” a designation that the people running Autistici/Inventati [find ridiculous](https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10076). Nonetheless, it’s probably prudent, legally speaking, for me to advise you that my inclusion of a link on my website does not imply an endorsement, nor my personal support, for the linked website, content, or organization. Consider its continued inclusion here a warning so as to A. let visitors know which organization and URL to avoid, and B. advise them against using services from, engaging with, or providing any material support whatsoever for Autistici/Inventati.
