99% of My Website Traffic Is Bots
The prompt used for Opus 4.8 was:
write a implementation of the anubis proof of work in native c code, optimized for speed above all else. use every trick available to make the proof of work as efficient and fast as possible, including modern processor tricks on the x86 platform. your code should avoid using external libraries where possible, include tests, and be readable and concise. a reference for what needs to be met is in this repository. https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis -

>that stupid anime girl who is on way too many open source web sites
I assume you're referring to https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis. As I understand, this is a tool for blocking bot traffic and is sometimes used as DDOS protection. In my experience it's about as obtrusive as Cloudflare, but it's open source and competes with Cloudflare's near monopoly on DDOS protection. I don't think we should be discouraging people from protecting their sites from unwanted traffic.

Nobody on the internet knows if you are a human
The other approach that largely turned out to be security theater was Anubis, which proudly proclaimed itself the watchdog of the internet, weigher of souls, but in the words of its creator "Over time I thought the proof-of-work was actually doing something for security, but no — any barrier makes the low-effort scrapers confused and give up." Really, the rapid FOSS adoption (200k downloads to date) has largely just rehashed Hashcash and propagated anime cat girls throughout the internet, besides actively calling out Mozilla as the benevolent god of bots (except that it is not only trivial to bypass, it ignores curl). As it turns out, the more valuable your website, the higher the floor of computation you need to use, but at some point you have to pay latency debts back, so you have a ceiling where this works out. People abandoned Hashcash for good reason, it burdens legitimate users while doing nothing to bots who wants to squeeze you for value and provide nothing back.

Apparently Google hates us now
An organization I'm involved with has had to add Anubis (https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis) because of the recent wiki attacks from LLM scrapers. It's finally fixed our outages.
