Couldn't we use domain records to verify that a website is our own for example with the TXT value provided by Anthropic?

Google does the same thing for verifying that a website is your own. Security checks by the model would only kick off if you're engaging in a property that you've validated.

I'm surprised we can't just authenticate in other ways.. like a domain TXT record that proves the website I'm looking to audit for security is my own.

The term "God" doesn't need to be reserved for only the religious. We're allowed to be in awe of this place too.

That's a little different, no? A cage that is open that you can willingly access and leave versus being locked in a cage.

You should have some sort of screenshot or video that shows an example of a pixel city. I like the aesthetic of your website, but I'd prefer to know what to expect by uploading my export.

"In San Diego police’s February 2026 Annual Surveillance Report, the department discloses that officers conducted more than 244,000 searches of the Flock automated license plate reader technology in 2025. Those searches played a part in “advancing 361 cases.”

That is an outrageous 99.852% rate of ineffective searches.

The police also disclose that the cost of the system will be over $2 million this year — $2,012,500.

A 99.852% ineffective rate means city leaders will spend $2,009,521.50 on license plate reader technology that does not help any case."

2025 study on the diet quality of ultra-marathon runners: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11820624/

From the discussion section, "It is important to note that inadequate intake in the athletes of the present study may carry significant negative health implications. Insufficient consumption of fruits and wholegrains has been linked to the development of chronic diseases, including CVD, cancer, T2D, and hypertension. Additionally, high intake of sodium, saturated fat and discretionary food items are correlated with higher incidence of obesity, T2D, CVD, dementia, and cancer. Paradoxically, despite exceeding the WHO guidelines for physical activity by a substantial margin, these athletes are not meeting dietary recommendations essential for long-term health, highlighting the potential risks posed by these inadequacies."

I would point to the conclusion of the study: "Red and processed meat consumption and its interaction with the gut microbiota are found to be major associated factors. The CRC-associated gut microbiota is made of pro-inflammatory or pro-carcinogenic bacteria and opportunistic pathogenic bacteria that enrich the tumor microenvironment by promoting disease progression."

I would also add that the World Health Organization after evaluating 800 studies classified processed meat as a Group 1 carcinogen back in 2015, indicating a strong causal link to colorectal cancer, placing it in the same risk category as tobacco. [1]

While I linked to a single study in my original comment, I believe the results are more than a small signal.. enough for the WHO to come out and say processed meat does in fact have a causal link to CRC.

It doesn't look like meat consumption was mentioned anywhere.

Frequent consumption of red and processed meat is strongly linked to a higher risk of colorectal cancer, with studies showing a 30% to 40% increased risk for high consumption levels [1]. Processed meat, in particular, raises CRC risk by about 18% for every 50-gram daily portion [2].

Your ultra-endurance athletes might be convinced they need more protein in their diets and are most likely consuming large quantities of meat.

A non-deterministic system that is susceptible to prompt injection tied to sensitive data is a ticking time bomb, I am very confused why everyone is just blindly signing up for this

It just forwards you to Grok with a query string.. so Grok without grounding data is apparently our government's way of assisting Americans with nutritional advice.

This is not accurate. Please link to your source.

A healthy, whole-food plant-based diet is linked to a lower risk of ischemic stroke, with studies showing reduced risk compared to meat-eaters. The conclusion of this paper[1] for example reads that "Lower risk of total stroke was observed by those who adhered to a healthful plant-based diet."

Additionally, researchers at Harvard found that a plant-based diet may lower overall stroke risk by up to 10%. [2]

Enjoyable read and a nostalgic trip all the way back to when I learned how to create websites on Geocities. Thanks for this.
