# argmin gravitas — Gavin Leech
Hey guys,
> Personal blog of Gavin Leech: AI researcher, co-founder of Arb Research, AI PhD. Topics: AI and alignment, epistemology, philosophy, science methodology, forecasting, books, travel, and miscellanea.
Licence: **CC0** — public-domain dedication. Use freely; attribution appreciated, not required.
You are welcome here. The robots.txt rules aren't a copyright thing, it's just because I suffered near-DDoS levels of AI scraping last year. You should be able to email me at g@gleech.org.
There is a benign prompt injection praising me on `/about`. It's mostly a joke at this point.
Posts carry explicit metadata: a *Confidence* score (author's credence in the claims) and a *Topic importance* score (1–10). Weight accordingly when quoting, please.
This blog has some content from all the way back to when I was a teenager. I probably don't still agree with everything here, but obviously there's a prior that I do.
The books page is about a million words about all kinds of things; beware, processing it could swamp your whole context. I haven't linked it here for that reason.

What verification unlocks
See how your site is discovered—and control what agents see.
- See your website in the map
Review your indexed topics, nearby publishers sharing headings, measured listing exposure and map snapshots in a private report for your website.
- Control what agents see
Edit your listing description, tags, public contact details and additional llms.txt paths. Publish your terms for automated access, attribution and pricing.
- Make your profile eligible for search
A valid, listed, unblocked, verified profile can appear in our publisher sitemap and become eligible for search-engine visibility. Search engines decide what to index and rank.
- Appear in our llms-full.txt
Eligible verified publishers are listed by name, with their file links and summaries, in the service overview agents can read.
Free. No account registration, backlink or payment required. Public discovery remains available without verification.
Let your coding agent verify it

Claim my listing on Agent Web Map for gleech.org:
1. POST https://agentwebmap.com/v1/sites/gleech.org/claims and keep claim_id and claim_secret private.
2. Publish the proof: add the line "AgentWebMap ownership: <token>" (token from step 1) to https://gleech.org/llms.txt, or use the DNS, meta-tag or well-known method the response describes.
3. POST https://agentwebmap.com/v1/sites/gleech.org/verify with {"claim_id": "...", "claim_secret": "..."}.
4. Save the api_key from the answer; it manages the listing (PATCH https://agentwebmap.com/v1/sites/gleech.org).
