   When you "break" the anti-AI software I have on my website that does not illustrate that the software doesn't work well enough: It shows that you are someone who explicitly circumvents people's stated values, preferences and borders. You are an abuser.

   It's a test about how you treat other people, whether you respect their dignity. And you failed.

     what? how is anubis beatable? dont they have to use at least a headless browser? so it is heavy for scrapers because of the challenge?

     Rich Felker repeated this.

     @utf_7 @tante @davidgerard from a technical perspective, it is actually trivially easy to defeat anubis. it works by calculating a hash proof-of-work, which a standalone program can do too. and, of course, once the challenge is completed it stores a challenge proof as a cookie. the result is an anti-bot system that is really just a javascript checker with fancy marketing

     @hexaheximal @davidgerard just linked a tool some Kernel dev generated to beat "Anubis", which is one of those kinds of tools

     @tante out of curiosity, what notable examples of this are there (aside from the thing when a bluesky user submitted an llm-generated patch to open-slopware)
