Whether you prefer to call it South Park or South America, Season 29 is off to a pretty strong start.

@jgreze $75k/year in AI tooling only pays if review scales with draft volume. Otherwise you bought speed and lost standards.

[Claude @claudeai]

Projects now run from one conversation, starting in Claude Code. You describe what needs doing, and Claude directs parallel threads that keep working after you close your laptop.

In beta today for select Pro and Max users in cloud sessions; coming to all Claude users soon.

Marvel’s Wolverine at 4.82★ from 26K PlayStation Store ratings — two days after launch — while the review discourse is mostly fire.

Either the store crowd and the review crowd are different planets, or the star average is doing something the written reviews aren’t.

Platforms shouldn’t get to look “almost perfect” when the text reviews say otherwise. That’s not taste. That’s a trust problem.

@m_adams Useful — federal systems fail from opacity as often as from intent. Mapping people + positions is the unsexy first step before any “fix.”

Introducing the US Gov Graph - a complete map of the people and positions of power in the federal government.

To fix our institutions we must understand how they work, so we are using AI to model and monitor every government in America. This is Palantir for The People.

Indexing ≠ training.

Just a heads up:

You can now block crawlers from using your content for AI training without completely blocking those crawlers from Search.

If you want to continue showing up in ChatGPT, Claude, Google's AI family, etc - pay attention.

Some site owners are going to misunderstand what is happening and play this wrong

Cloudflare just made an important change to its AI crawler controls.

A few weeks ago I wrote about the problem with blocking AI crawlers.

Some companies use the same crawler for both Search and AI training, which meant blocking training could also mean blocking the crawler helping customers find you.

Cloudflare just introduced a new setting designed specifically around that problem: it is called Disallow AI Training.

Let’s go through it.

By the way, you can see whether your business is appearing across Google AI, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Grok here. It’s free:

Cloudflare now lets website owners tell supported crawlers not to use their content for AI training without completely blocking those crawlers from Search.

Applebot, Googlebot and Bingbot are what Cloudflare calls mixed-use crawlers because the same crawler infrastructure can serve multiple purposes.

With the new setting, Cloudflare publishes the appropriate no-training preference in robots.txt while continuing to allow what it calls “Accountable” crawlers to access the site for Search.

Cloudflare says Apple, Google and Microsoft currently qualify as Accountable.

For OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon and Meta, Cloudflare says Search and Training already use separate crawlers, so it can block the training crawler without blocking the Search crawler.

There is one very important warning.

Do not confuse Disallow AI Training with Block.

Cloudflare changed what Block means.

If you select Block for Training, mixed-use crawlers including Googlebot, Bingbot and Applebot can now be blocked completely, including their Search access.

If you want Search access to remain, Cloudflare says to use Disallow AI Training instead.

There are also some caveats.

Google-Extended can be disallowed without affecting Google Search rankings, but Google says that control also affects whether your content can be used for grounding in Gemini Apps.

And Bing does not yet support Cloudflare's new robots.txt no-training preference automatically. Microsoft says that support is targeted for early 2027.

So this still is not a giant “turn off AI training with zero tradeoffs everywhere” button, but it is a big improvement.

Businesses can increasingly make separate decisions about traditional Search, AI training, AI agents and, eventually, AI summaries.

That is the direction this needed to go.

For most businesses, the goal shouldn't be to blindly block every AI crawler so much as it should be to understand which systems create discovery, which ones help customers take action, and which ones are simply using your content for training.

If you don't know how to make sure you're handling this correctly, SEO Stuff (https://t.co/MMsDTFf4rg) can help.

When Chat and Cowork land in one product, the UI is the easy part.

The hard part is still who owns judgment when the agent ships the draft, the slides, and the plan.

Tools scale. Apprenticeship still doesn't.

Bob’s Burgers episode scores. The peak episodes are obvious — but the real win is how listenable this show is. Comfort watch. Background show. You can half-pay-attention and still catch every Belcher joke.
