AI being what it is, at this point you might be able to ask it for a token to put in a web page at .well-known, put it in as requested, and let it see it, and that might actually just work without it being officially built in.

I suggest that because I know for sure the models can hit the web; I don't know about their ability to do DNS TXT records as I've never tried. If they can then that might also just work, right now.

A smart AI would realise that I can MITM its web access such that sees the .well-known token that isn't actually there. I assume that the model doesn't have CA certificates embedded into it, and relies on its harness for that.

I think even Claude Web can run arbitrary Linux commands at this point.

I tried using it to answer some questions about a book, but the indexer broke. It figured out what file type the RAG database was and grepped it for me.

Computers are getting pretty smart ._.
