Building and publishing a website is the least-gated way to distribute AI-generated content.
No wonder Google, the web's de facto gatekeeper, decided to abandon that role.
Pre-training is the only activity hungry enough for data to bother consuming this infinite tail.

In 1957, more than 1 in 4 US women aged 22 had a baby — that year alone. Cohort view: women born ~1933 completed 3.26 kids each, the most on record; the 1950 cohort, just two; today 1.6 and still sliding.

The most optimistic chart you'll see today.
In 1751, the #1 age to die in Sweden was zero. 42% of deaths were kids under 5.
Today the typical woman dies at 90, and 1 in 8 lives past 95.
