 OK, I found it [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_DF4-23C8Q&t=5989s on
 YouTube at 1:39:49]:

 > One thing I've been wondering about is a, a cool feature of WordPress is
 actually every webpage that you visit actually has, um, if you sort of
 twiddle the query string, you can actually get,

 engine of WordPress. So you can get a RSS S two version of it or, you
 know, atom version or SS 9.2 or whatever.

 So you've got kind the HTML page that gets served to humans, but, uh, Bach
 could in

 that we could add to this feed engine is a markdown version.

 either with a sort of varies header http header or requesting like a.md
 version of a webpage could be something that,

 a lot of the AI models, there's sort of these

 This is kind of just an idea right now.

 I've been noodling on is how we can sort of make different, uh,
