Lighthouse

I have noticed that society is increasingly automating information retrieval. This whole website is designed with that in mind (preface). Recently bot activity surpassed human activity on the internet^*.

But unfortunately, this whole secondary internet, which outnumbers humans^*, is hidden by design.

This is a digital lighthouse of sorts; showing the automation to all of us humans watching from the surface.

Below is a table of the agent visits this website could label, and what they looked at:

What comes looking

Below is a log of the software visiting this site, grouped into visits. Every row is one visitor: what it looked at, and when.

It's worth a browse. You can watch a chatbot read an essay and its plain-text version back to back, or a scanner try a dozen addresses that were never here. The names are whatever the visitors called themselves, so don't take them at face value.

The request log

The request table loads from a restricted public database view when JavaScript runs. Agent labels are unverified. A request does not establish a citation, model training, or a delivered HTTP response.
