Still a WIP, but it should be working well on Linux, Android and macOS. Give it a go if you want to support Anna's Archive.
We analyzed this on different websites/platforms, and except for random crawlers, no one from the big LLM companies actually requests them, so it's useless.
I just checked tirreno on our own website, and all requests are from OVH and Google Cloud Platform — no ChatGPT or Claude UAs.
An AI assistant that waits for prompts is just a search engine. The productivity gains come from proactive automation: handling email triage, scheduling meetings, following up on tasks without being asked.
I've built an AI secretary that runs on WhatsApp with "Jobs" - autonomous delegations that nag you until you handle things. That's the shift that matters: from "AI as search" to "AI as secretary that doesn't let you forget.
The llms.txt standard is clever, but it's optimizing for a use case (information retrieval) that's already commoditized. The real value is in execution.
Now that's a reward signal!
Liberating/archiving human for humans is fine albeit a bit morally grey.
Liberating/archiving human works for wealthy companies so they can make money on it feels less ritcheous.
All those billions of dollars of investments that could be sustaining the arts by appropriately compensating artists willing to have their content used, instead used to ... Quadruple the cost of consumer grade ram and steal water from rural communities.
This raises the question; does it work? Has it resulted in a single donation?
Trying to curry favour with the Basilisk, I see.

Where is the DMCA? Where are the FBI raids? the bankrupting legal actions that those fucking fat bastards never blinked twice before deploying against citizens?
For those of us that can't open the link due to their ISP DNS block.
They first removed the direct links, and now all the references to them.

Setting aside the LLM topic for a second, I think the most impactful way to preserve these 2 goals is to create torrent magnets/hashes for each individual book/file in their collection.
This way, any torrent search engine (whether public or self-hosted like BitMagnet) that continuously crawls the torrent DHT can locate these books and enable others to download and seed the books.
The current torrent setup for Anna's Archive is that of a series of bulk backups of many books with filenames that are just numbers, not the actual titles of the books.
Our data? Hmmm...
That's what I get on this address:
Diese Webseite ist aus urheberrechtlichen Gründen nicht verfügbar. Zu den Hintergründen informieren Sie sich bitte hier.
Basically blocked for copyright reasons. And the 'hier' leads here:
I have less rights to access the information than LLMs have.
And they set up this dumb thing in 2021. Is this country evolving backwards?
And don't use imgur, that's blocked here too.
Yudkowsy has been rolling in his bed for over a decade over this, poor chap.
it’s 2026, web standards people need to stop polluting the root the same way (most) TUI devs learned to stop using ~/.<app name> a dozen years ago.
As an industry weed need better AI blocking tools.
Want to play? You pay.
Kinda weird and creepy to talk directly "to" the LLM. Add the fact that they're including a Monero address and this starts to feel a bit weird.
Like, imagine if I owned a toll road and started putting up road signs to "convince" Waymo cars to go to that road. Feels kinda unethical to "advertise" to LLMs, it's sort of like running a JS crypto miner in the background on your website.
What's missing is the jump from "AI as search engine" to "AI as autonomous agent." Right now most AI tools wait for prompts. The real shift happens when they run proactively - handling email triage, scheduling, follow-ups without being asked.
That's where the productivity gains are hiding.
