Extrapolating from current trends, some form of online ID attestation (likely based on government-issued ID[1]) will become normal in the next decade, and naturally, this will be included in the anti-bot arsenal.

Eyeball company play is to be a general identity provider, which is an obvious move for anyone who tries to fill this gap. You can already connect your passport in the World app. https://world.org/blog/announcements/new-world-id-passport-c...
Note: one of the founders of the World app is Sam Altman.

How does this work, though? We can't just have "send me a picture of your ID" because that is pointlessly easy to spoof - just copy someone else's ID. So there must be some verification that you, the person at the keyboard, is the same person as that ID identifies. The UK is rapidly finding out that that is extremely difficult to do reliably. Video doesn't really work reliably on all cases, and still images are too e…
Officially sanctioned 2fa tied to your official government ID. Over here we have "It's me" [1].
Yes, you can in theory still use your ID card with a usb cardreader for accessing gov services, but good luck finding up to date drivers for your OS or use a mobile etc.

It's crazy ( especially considering anime is more popular now than ever; netflix alone is making billions a year on anime) that people see a completely innocent little anime picture and immediately think "pervent-dwelling imageboard".
> people see a completely innocent little anime picture and immediately think "pervent-dwelling imageboard" Think you can thank the furries for that. Every furry I've happened to come across was very pervy in some way, and so that what immediately comes to mind when I see furry-like pictures like the one shown in the article. YMMV
Out of interest, how many furries have you met? I've been to several fur meets, and have met approximately three furries who I would not want to know anymore for one reason or another

#495This 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…
With all the SPAs out there, if you want to crawl the entire Web, you need a headless browser running JavaScript. Which will pass Anubis for free.

Even if the images aren’t the kind of sexualized (or downright pornographic) content this implies… having cutesy anime girls pop up when a user loads your site is, at best, wildly unprofessional. (Dare I say “cringe”?) For something as serious and legit as kernel.org to have this, I do think it’s frankly shocking and unacceptable.
Noted, I will now add anime girls to my website, so I'm not at risk of being misconstrued as "professional"

It sounds like you're saying that it's not the proof-of-work that's stopping AI scrapers, but the fact that Anubis imposes an unusual flow to load the site. If that's true Anubis should just remove the proof-of-work part, so legitimate human visitors don't have to stare at a loading screen for several seconds while their device wastes electricity.
I feel like the future will have this, plus ads displayed while the work is done, so websites can profit while they profit.
adCAPTCHA already does this:

Not good enough, providers and governments want proof of life and proof of identity that matches government IDs. Without that, anyone can pretend to be their dead grandma/murder victim, or someone whose ID they stole.
How about a chip implant signed by the government hospital that attests for your vitality? Looks like this is where things are headed

As I understand it, this is Proof of Work, which is strictly not a mouse and cat situation.
