perhaps the author, instead of the "I'm so clever" theoretical arguments from the client side, actually implemented Anubis on the server side and observe the results.

I have set it up on a few sites being relentlessly hammered by clearly idiotic bot traffic, and it drops bot the traffic levels from insane to manageable. I don't even care if the traffic is AI or bots, if the bot has gone to the same effort as the author has the bot may even just access the site in a responsible manner and that's fine.

before and after apache logs showing much less crap in them from bots. Do you think the maintainers of https://lore.kernel.org/ would leave something in that didn't work? It isn't perfect but I have run it on a (much smaller) web site getting hammered by bots and logged "before" and "after" and the difference is measurable.

these keep it real types obviously not having to deal with the day to day crap I deal with. using LLM to redraft emails/support calls for a particular large firewall turned an enfuriating endless feedback loop of makework support nonsense into 2 message resolution.

Sharing the prompts would have messed it all up for sure.

There are other instances where I have shared fairly direct, but not what I would consider rude or aggressive emails to people and had them freak out and I have no idea why, rewriting with LLMs to make them blander but convey the same message is very handy here.

this is why molly.im was a lifesaver for me.. trying to move a family member from VIBER to SIGNAL and ran into the annoying roadblock of not being able to link an Android tablet to an Android phone like Viber can - but molly does it fine.

this kind of blockchain analysis for the non-privacy oriented coins has been well known at least for a decade.. I don't see how it's a secret weapon except against the naive or uninformed

I had the same frustrating "we are suspending your account but we refuse to explain why, have a nice day" crap from Azure.. anyone who depends on mission critical stuff from these services needs their heads read.

Next in this series: why does the news not report on the time Trump spends sleeping and on the the toilet with the same importance that he spends on political decisions

I haven't opened my DOOM software box, it's still in the shrinkwrap. I guess I can take it back and ask for a refund now?
