  This freaks me out :) Can someone explain this magic?

    There's no magic, it's just an A record

      Yeah ok - thanks. Just not used to it I guess. Why is this not used more? Bad UX? Internet Etiquette? Some Sec. reason? Just thinking out loud. Thnx for the hint. Kinda makes sense. Edit: after your hint. Started some investigation. It is time to get me a personal TLD so I also can have a TLD-less domain. :p Bucketlist.push(TLD-lessDom)

  The Wikipedia entry on the .ai TLD notes that it has an MX record, so you can send e-mails to name@ai: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ai https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ai The story of Vince Cate (http://offshore.ai/vince/ http://offshore.ai/vince/), a CMU graduate who emigrated to the Anguilles in the 90s and (as far as I know) runs the AI registry there is also quite interesting, there's e.g. an old WIRED article from 97 about some of his business endeavors there: https://www.wired.com/1997/07/crypto-2/ https://www.wired.com/1997/07/crypto-2/. The Anguilla News website has a more recent article on him: https://news.ai/vince-cate-in-search-of-bees/ https://news.ai/vince-cate-in-search-of-bees/

  If you are on an iPhone, type: "ai." to get to the site. The trailing dot denotes the root of the DNS hierarchy and makes the domain "fully qualified". Otherwise it appears to fail a local integrity check if you try for just "ai"
