- kakacik 10mo agoYou are asking dangerous questions my friend :) (yeah pretty impressive catch, maybe some llm-assisted cross-scan of gov sites)
- Cthulhu_ 10mo agoWhy would it be LLM-assisted when maps of what sites link where are part of the core WWW infrastructure? Google made a trillion dollar business out of that.

- jldugger 10mo agoOnce upon a time link: would make short work of this query, but I gather the index is no longer queryable like that as it doesn't work.

- Shocka1 10mo agoThere is an important lesson to be had here, not just in writing articles, but software engineering as well. We should be checking our work very diligently, including code libraries. If a developer is using agents/LLMs to steamroll their way through a project, every line of code and library needs checked.
