#human-json — Public Fediverse posts

The author of human.json[^1] uses Claude Code[^2] for their website? WTF? :blobcatdisturbed:

I'm still writing up my blog post on the solution I created yesterday, but for now I added a quick post on adding a human.json file to my site.

I link out to a post by @foosel which I followed, and the couple of things I did differently.

#HumanJson

I just discovered that the latest release of #pkgdown now adds an llms.txt file to the rendered site by default. Immediately disabled the new 'feature' and added human.json instead 🙃

Jumped on the human.json bandwagon. Some good discussion tonight at IndieWeb meetup about how it relates to a blogroll. I don't see why they couldn't both be supported from the same source of truth.

New blog post!

I added human.json to my blog to show that I am indeed a human and not AI, and I am also vouching for others that they are of the human kind.

It's a small step against the flood of AI generated sites, but I guess it's something?

Okay, is there anyone I know on here who’s also using human.json

On this show, I play a song from Florry; I say goodbye to Veronica Walters; we have a finite number of trip opportunities with the kid; we went to San Diego and back with the most travel troubles I've had in decades; it is less effort for me to travel alone; I play another round of Promo No Go; I heard some kids say the craziest stuff; I have been listening to the All British Comedy Explained podcast; I didn't respond to The Young Ones as well as I remembered but Monty Python, ,Fawlty Towers and the Good Life still light me up; Victoria Wood: As Seen On TV is great; I implemented the Human.json protocon on my website, attesting who actually authors their site without any LLM; I am experimenting with the Quick Bites format for this show.

human.json is exactly the kind of nerdy metadata silliness that is designed to amuse me. It’s a protocol to vouch for people’s websites created by Beto Dealmeida.
It basically works by offering a little json file with a list of websites one trusts to be human who doesn’t use AI to write their blog posts. It’s nice and not super complex. So after reading about it on Terence Eden’s blog I knew that I needed to add this to this website as well.

I turned it into a WordPress plugin, which you can download here at Codeberg.

As for me – for now I added people I have met in real life. Maybe I’ll add people I only know online but still know for a fact that they’re humans. We’ll see.

Does somebody want to try out human.json with me?

just added #humanjson to my website!! <3

Another reason why the human.json protocol is going to be very helpful. So let's make it succeed, let's use it.

#humanjson

This is fun (to me):

1) Pop a JSON file on your website which lists all the websites you know are written by a human and not AI

2) Install the browser addon and see which websites you trust and who vouch for each other as you browse.

Spotted in my RSS feeds: human.json. “human.json is a lightweight protocol for humans to assert authorship of their site content and vouch for the humanity of others. It uses URL ownership as identity, and trust propagates through a crawlable web of vouches between sites.”

Came across a post by @foosel about human.json, so I've added that to my site today

I've got a slight concern that this is going to be the way in which the AI companies filter down to better training data (or don't train slop on slop), but if it helps advertise my content as human generated then I'm for it.

#HumanJson

I've added human.json to my blog. If we know each other and you are giving it a shot as well let me know and I'll add you to the vouch list.

I took the opportunity to publish the Django app to PyPI in case you want a quick start.

I'm sure I could gut out how to do the same for #Eleventy but I don't feel like doing it today. It's lunchtime and I'm done with thinky work for the day. I think I'll hang back and hope someone else does it.

#humanjson #11ty

Does anyone know if #HumanJson can be used on hosted WordPress sites like BlogSpot/Blogger?

For example, one of mine is https://blastedbio.blogspot.com/ - a self contained subdomain, but trusting that as human is distinct from automatically trusting other subdomains which are other hosted blogs.

(I have pondered moving my blogs to Codeberg...)

This seems to be what all the cool kids are doing nowadays.

Among other things today, I threw together a quick command line tool for generating a human.json file. It's quick and dirty, but it's still better than writing json by hand.

#commandline #golang #humanjson

Per the suggestions in the #human.json proposal, I have added an AI statement to my website.

#HumanJson

Over the weekend I ran across the Human.json project. This is a protocol so lightweight it practically doesn't exist. It's a JSON file you can put on your website in which you can vouch for other sites as being completely created by humans with no LLM involvement. This allows other tools in which you explicitly trust a site to show you sites that have a transitive chain of trust from the one you picked.

I had one of those "Oh cool" manic episodes. I learned about it and within the hour I had it up live on this site. I have a pretty small pool of vouches right now. I'm not planning to expand willy nilly. I started to add other sites but then I realized while 99.9% sure they have no LLM in their creation, that number was not 100%. I will only add someone to my vouch if they directly tell me convincingly or make a clear public statement renouncing LLMs in the creation of the site.

It's a small step, but a step. After yelling at the incoming tide, it's nice to have something concrete one can do. If you want to vouch for me, I promise that Evil Genius Chronicles has no generative AI anywhere in the chain. As I am finding out various tools are using LLMs in their code, I am removing them. I will keep my hands as clean as I can in this filthy business.

Good luck out there.
