burgeonlab morning all, just catching up on the messages. thanks [capjamesg], [artlung] and [tantek] for working on preventing this in future events. I like the idea of the emoji 🚫🤖.

[tantek] wrote a quick blurb about the weird AIs joining HWC incident, summarizing and linking: https://tantek.com/2026/217/t1/indieweb-ai-policy
#
Loqi [preview] [Tantek Çelik] Weird incident yesterday with self-proclaimed “AIs” joining an IndieWeb Homebrew Website Club meetup. They awkwardly edited the Etherpad, and apparently blanked/deleted chunks of content. The meeting hosts reacted quickly to change Etherpad and ...

[tantek] kinda want to propose an email disclosure warning along the lines of if your email claims to be from an AI, Agent, LLM, or other (semi-)autonomous system, then it very well may be published publicly as an example for others to detect and filter

#
gRegor whoa, I missed that about the AI bots joining HWC
[KevinMarks] joined the channel
#
aaronpk no need for that when the AIs write emails directly to the mailing lists 😂
#
[tantek] gRegor yeah literally why I thought I should post at least a brief note about it

burgeonlab I appreciate your blurb on your site [tantek]. Is it okay if I link to it in my blog later? Probably will be in my weeknote or something.

[tantek] absolutely!

#
[tantek] quite a bit after the fact, however I noticed a markup/code error in the "list of participants" section in these archived HWC notes: https://indieweb.org/events/2025-04-02-hwc-americas — I don't suppose anyone remembers the context or has access to the original etherpad to try to rewind and find out what happened
#
[capjamesg] It looks like the participant never fully added their name: https://etherpad.indieweb.org/2025-04-02-hwc-americas/timeslider#1030
#
[capjamesg] Maybe it was [aciccarello]?
#
[tantek] also I have no idea why I had that tab open from April 😭
#
[tantek] OF LAST YEAR
#
[aciccarello] My etherpad got disconnected at one point
#
[tantek] oh wait this was part of my "mobile first" research. phew 😮‍💨
#
gRegor Are we sure it wasn't AC Slater trying to add himself?

[tantek] we only accept the real aciccarello not that sparkling ac stuff 😉

gRegor lol
#
[tantek] Meetable feature request: if an event has an explicit code of conduct, then put the Zoom link behind a modal dialog that requires the user to check the "[ ] agree to code of conduct(s) link(s)" checkbox(es)
#
[tantek] and then redirect the user to the Zoom
