As I am hosting all my sites on a tiny NUC using nginx and having previously played with its return directive I decided to reuse the same trick for visits of GPTBot.

Robb Knight wrote up a great guide for explicitly blocking those scraping bots via your Nginx config. However, this site is currently served by AWS CloudFront, which means that the content gets served without the request touching the source server. I was sure there had to be a way to do something similar with a CloudFront function, so I set out to try.

| [AI summary] The text discusses a framework for understanding subjective time as a causal network of local binding connections. It explores how different states of consciousness, such as those induced by psychedelics, can alter this network, leading to various experiences of time, including time loops, moments of eternity, and timelessness. The framework also connects these experiences to emotional valence and the structure of consciousness, suggesting that symmetry and regularity in the network contribute to positive emotional states. The text concludes by emphasizing the potential of this approach as a starting point for further research into time perception and consciousness.
