# AI systems may crawl and index publicly available pages
# for search and discovery purposes only.
# Use of any content for model training, fine-tuning, dataset creation,
# or embedding is strictly prohibited.
# As a condition of accessing this website, you agree to
# abide by the following content signals:
# (a) If a content-signal = yes, you may collect content

# (e.g., retrieval augmented generation, grounding, or other
# real-time taking of content for generative AI search
# answers).
# ai-train: training or fine-tuning AI models.
