Cool, but as with most of the anti-AI tricks its completely trivial to work around. So you might stop them for a week or two, but they'll add like 3 lines of code to detect this and it'll become useless.

    I hate this argument. All cyber security is an arms race. If this helps small site owners stop small bot scrapers, good. Solutions don't need to be perfect.

    I worked at a major tech company in 2018 who didn't take security seriously because that was literally their philosophy, just refusing to do anything until it was an absolute perfect security solution, and everything else is wasted resources.

    I left since then and I continue to see them on the news for data leaks.

    Small brain people man.

    So many companies let perfect become the enemy of good and it's insane. Recently some discussion about trying to get our team to use a consistent formatting scheme devolved into this type of thing. If the thing being proposed is better than what we currently have, let's implement it as is then if you have concerns about ways to make it better let's address those later in another iteration.

    To some extent that's true, but anyone who builds network software of any kind without timeouts defined is not very good at their job. If this traps anything, it wasn't good to begin with, AI aside.

    Leave your doors unlocked at home then. If your lock stops anyone, they weren't good thieves to begin with. 🙄

    I believe you misread their comment. They are saying if you leave your doors unlocked your part of the problem. Because these ai lock picks only look for open doors or they know how to skip locked doors
