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

#humanjson #slop

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 🙃

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.

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.”

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.
