If someone's out to uniquely identify your activity on the internet, your User-Agent string is going to be the least of your problems.
Not sure what you mean, as exactly this is happening currently on 99% of the web. Brought to you by: ads
This is a usually technical crowd, so I can't help but wonder if many people genuinely don't get it, or if they are just feigning a lack of understanding to be dismissive of Anubis. Sure, the people who make the AI scraper bots are going to figure out how to actually do the work. The point is that they hadn't, and this worked for quite a while. As the botmakers circumvent, new methods of proof-of-notbot will be made…
On a side note, is the anime girl image customizable? I did a quick Google search an it seems that only the commercial version offers rebranding.

If you want my help training up your billion dollar model then you should pay me. My content is for humans. If you're not a human you are an unwelcome burden. Search engines, at least, are designed to index the content, for the purpose of helping humans find it. Language models are designed to filch content out of my website so it can reproduce it later without telling the humans where it came from or linking them to…
> copyright attribution You can't copyright an idea, only a specific expression of an idea. An LLM works at the level of "ideas" (in essence - for example if you subtract the vector for "woman" from "man" and add the difference to "king" you get a point very close to "queen") and reproduces them in new contexts and makes its own connections to other ideas. It would be absurd for you to demand attribution and payment…

This was obviously dumb when it launched: 1) scrapers just run a full browser and wait for the page to stabilize. They did this before this thing launched, so it probably never worked. 2) The AI reading the page needs something like 5 seconds * 1600W to process it. Assuming my phone can even perform that much compute as efficiently as a server class machine, it’d take a large multiple of five seconds to do it, and ge…
>This dance to get access is just a minor annoyance for me, but I question how it proves I’m not a bot. These steps can be trivially and cheaply automated. >I think the end result is just an internet resource I need is a little harder to access, and we have to waste a small amount of energy. No need to mimic the actual challenge process. Just change your user agent to not have "Mozilla" in it; Anubis only serves you…
If you want a tip my friend, just block all of Huawei Cloud by ASN.
... looks like they did: https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/pull/1004 , timestamped a few hours after your comment.

Fair, then I obviously think Xe may have a kinda misguided understanding of their own product. I still stand by the concept I stated above.
latest update from Xe: > After further investigation and communication. This is not a bug. The threat actor group in question installed headless chrome and simply computed the proof of work. I'm just going to submit a default rule that blocks huawei.
Every time I see one of these I think it's a malicious redirect to some pervert-dwelling imageboard. On that note, is kernel.org really using this for free and not the paid version without the anime? Linux Foundation really that desperate for cash after they gas up all the BMW's?
If it makes sense for an organization to donate to a project they rely on, then they should just donate. No need to debrand if it's not strictly required, all that would do is give the upstream project less exposure. For design reasons maybe? But LKML isn't "designed" at all, it has always exposed the raw ugly interface of mailing list software.
Also, this brand does have trust. Sure, I'm annoyed by these PoW captcha pages, but I'm a lot more likely to enable Javascript if it's the Anubis character, than if it is debranded. If it is debranded, it could be any of the privacy-invasive captcha vendors, but if it's Anubis, I know exactly what code is going to run.
