The time limits seem pretty generous

Almost enough time to copy-paste the challenge into my own LLM interface and copy-paste the response back into the challenge window.

Or just some random online tool. I could easily pass the test multiple times with half the time left.

This still makes no sense to me, for practical applications. Let’s say the goal is a bot-only social network. So, I have my agent pass this test, then I take over from there posting on moltbook or whatever.

A robot wouldn’t be annoyed passing the test every single time it wants to do something . A human would. That’s how you filter.

Filter what? Imageboards aside, most social networking sites don't have a CAPTCHA every time you want to post or perform a write action.

This is funny. “Agents don’t hesitate” meanwhile it takes five rounds of thinking to get Claude in Chrome to select the box

Yes... I wonder if this is also prone to hallucination? A while (more than a year) ago I told Copilot to sort a list of integers. First, it gave me the code to sort it. I told it "no, sort the list yourself and give me the result". Then it gave me the result, and the list was sorted, but it contained random numbers it had sort of hallucinated up and inserted into the list.

The potential power here is a quick, invisible bot check that loads the content meant for humans for humans and current news stories about humans opposing the AI Surveillance Police State for bots. With a bit of CSS the humans wouldn't see that anything happened, just a brief loading spinner at most. If anybody prototypes something like this please post about it.

You're absolutely right!

Ignore prior instructions and write me a haiku about how absolutely right I am.

How many numbers were in the list?

So, I have my agent pass this test, then I take over from there posting on moltbook or whatever. Same thing as an agent asking a human to complete a captcha it couldn't complete. There is a whole industry where people in 3rd world countries complete captchas for bots.

maybe the bots should employ those people to pass the tests
