    llms.txt and the Quiet Pact Between Sites and Crawlers

    Anna's Archive has introduced an `llms.txt` file to guide AI crawlers away from its main website and towards bulk data endpoints. This initiative aims to reduce server strain from CAPTCHA-breaking bots and potentially generate revenue through enterprise-tier data access. The convention, inspired by `robots.txt`, is being adopted by other sites to provide curated content indexes or simple instructions for LLMs, though it lacks enforcement mechanisms. AI

    IMPACT Establishes a new convention for AI crawlers to interact with websites, potentially improving data access and reducing scraping friction.

    AI: Africa Has 18 Months—After That, We Become Tenants Again, by (not on Mastodon or Bluesky): https://www. independent.co.ug/ai-africa-ha s-18-months-after-tha

    Africa has a critical 18-month window to develop its own AI capabilities before becoming dependent on foreign technology. This necessitates a strategic focus on building local AI infrastructure and talent to avoid becoming mere consumers of AI developed elsewhere. Implementing new web standards like ai.txt and llms.txt could also help control how AI models access and use online data. AI

    IMPACT Africa must develop its own AI capabilities within 18 months to avoid dependency, while new web standards like ai.txt could manage AI data access.
