The military recruits from young people who are some combination of naive or desperate and then brainwashes them with tried and true indoctrination. I don’t think they’re ever going to want for recruits.

Heads up, you’re really invested in arguing with someone who does not appear to be arguing in good faith. Just block them and move on, you will be a happier person for it.

Who jabbed at anything?

I can’t get to that page, so I asked a question about the contents.

Someone here is being silly, we just disagree about who.

Even in AI dystopia female representation at the executive level is nonexistent.

Lots of idol worship in the dev community, question the current darling and people get upset.

For clarity: I didn’t write the article, it’s just a good reference.

The cost here only really impacts regular users, too. The type of users you actually want to block have budgets which easily allow for the compute needed anyways.

I can’t access the page to validate this because I don’t allow JS; isn’t that gated behind a paywall?

I feel comfortable hating on Anubis for this. The compute cost per validation is vanishingly small to someone with the existing budget to run a cloud scraping farm, it’s just another cost of doing business.

The cost to actual users though, particularly to lower income segments who may not have compute power to spare, is annoyingly large. There are plenty of complaints out there about Anubis being painfully slow on old or underpowered devices.

Some of us do actually prefer to use the internet minus JS, too.

Plus the minor irritation of having anime catgirls suddenly be a part of my daily browsing.

This is an excellent clarification, thanks.

Fuck LLMs, though.
