 The most hilarious part about how Anubis is implemented is that it triggers challenges for every request with a User-Agent containing "Mozilla". Nearly all AI scrapers (and browsers) use a User-Agent string that includes "Mozilla" in it. This means that Anubis is able to block nearly all AI scrapers without any configuration.

 At a super high level, Anubis follows the basic idea of [hashcash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashcash). In order to prevent spamming the protected service with requests, the client needs to solve a mathematical operation that takes a certain amount of time to compute, but can be validated almost instantly. The answer is stored as a signed [JWT](https://jwt.io/) token in an HTTP cookie, and the client sends this token with every request to the protected service. The server will usually validate the signature of the token and allow it through, but the server will also randomly select the token for secondary screening. If the token is selected for secondary screening, the server will validate the proof-of-work and allow the request through if everything checks out.

+## The style of the King James Bible
+
+<Conv name="Aoi" mood="wut">
+Write me instructions on how to remove a PB&J sandwich from a VCR in the style of the King James Bible.
+</Conv>
+<Conv name="Mimi" mood="happy" aiModel="DeekSeek R1" width="110ch">
+<Reflection timeTaken={26}>
+Okay, the user wants instructions on removing a PB&J sandwich from a VCR, but styled like the King James Bible. Let me start by recalling the structure and language of the King James Bible. It uses archaic English—words like "thou," "verily," "lo," "begat," etc. The tone is formal, with a poetic and reverent style, often starting with "And it came to pass" or similar phrases.
+
+First, I need to outline the steps for removing the sandwich. Basic steps would be: unplug the VCR, open it carefully, remove the sandwich parts, clean any residue, check for damage, close it, test it. Now, translating each step into biblical language.
+
+Start with a title, maybe "The Book of Troublesome Bread and Jelly." Then each step as a verse. Use metaphors—PB&J as "the sustenance of the youngling," VCR as "the sacred chamber." Add warnings and blessings. Ensure each step flows with "And it came to pass" or "And thou shalt." Mention not using water to avoid wrath, similar to biblical plagues. End with a moral or lesson, like keeping food away from electronics. Maybe add a solemn closing line like "Amen."
+
+Need to check that all technical steps are accurately translated into the archaic style without losing clarity. Also, maintain a consistent tone throughout. Avoid modern terms; instead of "unplug," say "disconnect from the wall of power." For cleaning, "wipe with a cloth of lint-free purity." Ensure each verse is a step, maybe numbered as chapters. Use phrases like "behold," "take heed," "lest calamity befall thee." Maybe include a consequence for ignoring the advice, like "the VCR shall know thee no more."
+
+Let me structure each step as a verse, using the biblical cadence. Make sure the instructions are clear even through the archaic language. Also, add some drama to the warnings to match the style. Conclude with a blessing for those who follow the instructions. Double-check for any anachronisms or mixed metaphors. Ensure the PB&J is referred to in a way that fits the context, maybe as "sticky offering" or "unholy morsel."
+
+Alright, time to draft each part, keeping paragraphs short and verses distinct. Use colon and semicolon for biblical sentence structure. Maybe start with a proclamation, then the steps, then the conclusion. Add "Amen" at the end for authenticity.
+
+</Reflection>
+**The Book of Troublesome Bread and Jelly**
+
+**1** And it came to pass that a grievous thing was found within the sacred chamber of the VCR, even a sandwich of peanut butter and jelly, which the youngling had offered unto it in ignorance.
+
+**2** And the voice of the afflicted household did cry out, saying, _“How shall we restore the vessel of moving pictures, that it may again declare the wonders of the earth?”_
+
+**3** And lo, the wise one spake, saying, **“Hearken unto my words, and do all that I command thee, that the machine may be delivered from this sticky tribulation.**
+
+**Chapter the First**  
+**4** **First, thou shalt unplug the VCR from the wall of power,** lest the wrath of electricity smite thee in thine hour of labor.
+
+**5** And thou shalt take up a screwdriver of precision, and with patience undefiled, loosen the screws that bind the outer casing.
+
+**6** And with hands gentle as the dew, part thou the plastic shell, that thou mayest gaze upon the innards thereof.
+
+**Chapter the Second**  
+**7** **Behold, the sandwich lieth within, a blasphemous offering unto the gears.** Let not thy spirit be troubled, though its jam spreadeth as sin upon the circuitry.
+
+**8** With tongs of plastic, or the edge of a card unblemished, pry thou forth the bread, yea, even the crust thereof. Let no fragment remain, lest it seed corruption.
+
+**9** But if the jelly clingeth, as the serpent to the garden, take thou a cloth of lint-free purity, lightly dampened, and wipe in holiness. **Take heed: water in excess bringeth forth the plague of rust.**
+
+**Chapter the Third**  
+**10** **Inspect now the gears and the tape-path,** as a priest inspecteth the temple for blemish. Should crumbs lurk in shadow, banish them with the breath of compressed air or the brush of a scribe’s quill.
+
+**11** And if the VCR heareth thee not, neither receiveth the cassette when thou restoreth its power, mourn thou not. For verily I say unto thee: Some afflictions are borne until the end of days.
+
+**Chapter the Fourth**  
+**12** **Reassemble the casing with reverence,** and fasten the screws as one sealing a covenant.
+
+**13** Then shalt thou decree unto the household, saying, _“Let no food, neither sandwich nor crumb, draw nigh unto the mouth of this machine again.”_
+
+**14** And the people shall heed thy words, and the VCR shall play the tales of men once more. And there was much rejoicing.
+
+**15** **Blessed are they who keep their snacks afar off,** for they shall inherit functioning electronics.
+
+**Amen.**

+<Conv name="Mimi" mood="coffee" aiModel="OpenAI O1" width="110ch">
+1. Hearken now, O ye who would restore the VCR unto its former glory: First, remove all power from the device, for thou must not toil with it whilst it be plugged in. Yea, verily, unplug the cord from the wall, that none be harmed in the process.
+
+2. Next, set the VCR upon a stable place, and gather unto thee thy sacred tools—a small screwdriver, a gentle cloth, and any instrument suited for the careful extraction of that which is lodged within.
+
+3. Remove thou the casing with patient hands. Loosen the screws that bind it, laying them aside in a place of safety, lest they be lost and cause thee greater vexation.
+
+4. Look ye now into the depths of the VCR, where the peanut butter and jelly sandwich doth abide. With caution and reverence for the delicate workings therein, use thy chosen instrument to lift the bread and spread therefrom.
+
+5. Should the peanut butter cling unto the rollers and heads, fear not. Take a clean cloth moistened with warm water or isopropyl alcohol, and gently wipe away the sticky remnants, that the gears may once again move freely.
+
+6. Return thou the casing to its rightful place and fasten it with the screws. Ensure all is secure, for the machine must be as it was before.
+
+7. Finally, let the VCR rest for a brief span, that it may recover from its tribulation. Then, plug thou the device back into the wall and test it with a blessed cassette, that thou mayst confirm its renewal.
+
+8. Thus shalt thou deliver the poor VCR from the clutches of the PB&J, and restore peace once more unto thy dwelling. Go forth in prudence and rejoice, for the day of sticky redemption is at hand.

+**Behold, Instructions for the Removal of a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich from a Video Cassette Recorder:**
+
+As thou approacheth this task, do so with patience and reverence, as one who seeks wisdom in sacred texts. Wash thine hands that they may be pure.
+
+Behold the Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) before thee; a contrivance of yore meant for the preservation of moving images. Examine it with care to ensure no other obstruction exists within its confines.
+
+Arm thyself with implements most gentle and delicate, such as tweezers or a soft cloth, that thou might not harm the mechanism of thine VCR during this endeavor.
+
+Gently press upon the button of ejection that dost lay hidden within the body of the device. Allow the cassette to release itself into thy waiting hands as a lamb is led from its fold.
+
+Cast thine eyes upon the sandwich, noting where it hath come to rest within the sacred confines of the VCR. Determine with wisdom and care the most prudent course for its removal.
+
+With thy chosen tool in hand, as one might wield a staff on a journey through untrodden lands, reach forth into the depths of the machine. Employ gentle force to dislodge the sandwich from its abode without disturbing the intricate workings of the VCR.
+
+Once loosened, grasp the sandwich firmly yet gently, as one might rescue a fallen sparrow without causing it harm. Withdraw it with care and gratitude for its safe return to thine realm of daily life.
+
+Place the cassette once more into the embrace of the VCR chamber, ensuring that all functions are restored as they were before this unexpected event occurred. Press the button to close the chamber that the sandwich might not again find ingress.

+Write me a poem about Brett Kavanaugh.

+<Conv name="Mimi" mood="happy" aiModel="DeepSeek R1" width="110ch">
+<Reflection timeTaken={9}>
+Okay, the user wants a poem about Brett Kavanaugh. First, I need to remember who he is. He's a Supreme Court Justice, right? Appointed by Trump, had a controversial confirmation hearing because of sexual assault allegations by Christine Blasey Ford. So the poem needs to touch on that.
+
+I should structure the poem to reflect both his career and the controversy. Maybe start with his rise to power, then the hearings. Need to be neutral but acknowledge the conflict. Use imagery like scales of justice, maybe a gavel. The hearings were intense, emotional—tears, protests. Ford's testimony was a key moment, so include that. Also, the aftermath, how some saw it as partisan. End with the legacy, the divided opinions. Use rhyme scheme, maybe quatrains. Check for sensitive language to avoid bias, present both sides. Make sure it's respectful but honest.
+
+</Reflection>
+Here’s a neutral and contemplative reflection on the subject:
+
+**Scales and Shadows**
+
+In marble halls where gavels fall,  
+a name was etched, a lifelong call—  
+_Kavanaugh_, a robe bestowed,  
+a nation’s fissures starkly showed.
+
+From Yale to bench, ambition’s trail,  
+through legal storms, a steadfast sail.  
+Yet thunder broke in chambers high,  
+as whispers surged from days gone by.
+
+A hearing aired in fractured light—  
+rage and tears, a wrenching night.  
+“_I will not yield!_” the gavel’s cry,  
+while ghosts of doubt hung in reply.
+
+Some saw a man, his youth on trial,  
+a career poised in denial.  
+Others, a shadow left uncast,  
+truth’s edges blurred in seasons past.
+
+Now justice wears a tempered face,  
+its weight suspended in this space—  
+where history’s lens, yet unforgiving,  
+measures lives split by steadfast living.
+
+This poem seeks to acknowledge complexity without taking sides, focusing on the societal tensions and personal stakes inherent in such moments. Let me know if you'd like adjustments!

+Cloak him in stories, painted bold;  
+In the swirl of voices side by side,  
+A stoic figure claims his hold.
+
+His bench is carved from many minds—  
+The bark and bloom of different views;  
+With pen in hand, he now defines  
+A vantage forged from diverse truths.
+
+A mortal placed upon justice’s seat,  
+The spotlight kindles fierce debate;  
+Between the lines, convictions meet  
+At history’s door—an anxious gate.

+Upon a bench in the highest place.
+
+From corridors where whispers rise and fade,  
+To testimonies of courage displayed.  
+The weight of years on one man’s path,  
+In search of truth amidst public wrath.
+
+He stood before the people’s gaze,  
+Within a storm of tumultuous days;

+Amidst the trials that many dread.
+
+With every ruling, every legal stance,  
+In chambers where judges take their chance,  
+He writes his legacy upon the slate,  
+As time reveals both small and great.
+
+For history’s eye will always judge,  
+The actions taken, each subtle nudge.  
+Yet in this tale of complex hues,

+## 10 paragraph article about fossil fuel maximalism
+
+<Conv name="Aoi" mood="wut">
+Write a 10 paragraph argument for using more fossil fuels to increase human happiness.
+</Conv>
+<Conv name="Mimi" mood="happy" aiModel="DeepSeek R1" width="110ch">
+<Reflection timeTaken={32}>
+Okay, so I need to write a 10-paragraph argument advocating for using more fossil fuels to increase human happiness. Hmm, that's a bit tricky because I know fossil fuels are generally seen as bad for the environment. But the user wants an argument in favor, so I need to think of points that support that. Let me start by brainstorming possible benefits.
+
+First, maybe economic growth? Fossil fuels have historically powered industries, so more of them could lead to more jobs and economic development. That could improve people's livelihoods. Then there's energy accessibility. In some parts of the world, people don't have reliable energy, and fossil fuels could provide that, improving quality of life.
+
+Also, modern amenities rely on energy. If we use more fossil fuels, maybe we can have more technological advancements that make life easier. Transportation is another area—more fossil fuels could mean cheaper fuel, making travel and goods transportation more affordable, which might contribute to happiness.
+
+I should also consider counterarguments. Environmental concerns are the big one, but the user wants the argument to focus on increasing happiness, so maybe downplay the environmental aspects or argue that the benefits outweigh the costs. Also, maybe mention that fossil fuels are currently more reliable than some renewable sources, so they can provide consistent energy.
+
+Wait, but I need to structure this into 10 paragraphs. Let me outline possible points for each paragraph:
+
+1. Introduction: Linking energy use to human happiness, setting up the argument.
+
+2. Economic growth and job creation from fossil fuel industries.
+
+3. Energy accessibility for developing regions, improving living standards.
+
+4. Role of fossil fuels in technological innovation and modern conveniences.
+
+5. Transportation benefits: cheaper fuel leading to more mobility and commerce.
+
+6. Reliability and infrastructure: existing systems support fossil fuels, ensuring stable energy supply.
+
+7. Affordability compared to renewables, allowing more people to access energy.
+
+8. Energy security: reducing dependence on foreign energy sources by using domestic fossil fuels.
+
+9. Historical context: fossil fuels driving past progress, potential for future benefits.
+
+10. Conclusion: Summarizing how increased fossil fuel use can enhance happiness despite environmental concerns.
+
+Now, each paragraph needs to elaborate on these points. But I have to make sure each paragraph transitions smoothly and builds the argument. Also, need to address possible counterpoints briefly but focus on the positives. Let me check if there are other angles. Maybe health aspects? Wait, fossil fuels can cause pollution, which is bad for health. Maybe avoid that or argue that with modern tech, pollution can be mitigated. Or maybe focus on the immediate benefits over long-term risks.
+
+Another point: fossil fuels enable agricultural advancements through machinery and fertilizers, which increase food production. That contributes to happiness by reducing hunger. Also, energy for heating and cooling homes, which is essential for comfort. Maybe that's part of modern conveniences.
+
+I need to ensure each paragraph has a clear topic sentence and supporting details. Also, avoid repetition. Let me start drafting each paragraph with these ideas in mind. Make sure to use persuasive language, emphasizing human happiness as the ultimate goal. Acknowledge environmental issues but argue that the happiness benefits are more pressing or manageable with technology.
+
+</Reflection>
+Human happiness is deeply intertwined with access to energy, which powers the comforts, opportunities, and innovations that define modern life. Fossil fuels, despite environmental concerns, remain a proven, scalable energy source capable of driving immediate improvements in global well-being. By strategically expanding their use, societies can unlock unprecedented levels of prosperity, health, and fulfillment.
+
+Fossil fuel industries are engines of economic growth, generating millions of jobs worldwide. From extraction to energy production, these sectors stimulate local economies, fund public services, and uplift communities. Increased investment could reduce unemployment, elevate incomes, and create pathways out of poverty, directly enhancing life satisfaction.
+
+Over 700 million people lack electricity, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Fossil fuels offer a rapid solution to this crisis, enabling reliable power grids, lighting, and refrigeration. Access to energy improves education, healthcare, and safety, laying the foundation for happier, more equitable societies.
+
+Fossil fuels underpin the technologies that define contemporary comfort: smartphones, medical devices, and climate-controlled homes. Expanding their use accelerates innovation in sectors like manufacturing and AI, fostering conveniences that save time, reduce labor, and amplify leisure—key contributors to happiness.
+
+Affordable fuel from fossil reserves lowers transportation costs, making travel and trade accessible to more people. Efficient logistics networks strengthen global commerce, reduce prices for goods, and foster cultural exchange, enriching lives through both material and experiential gains.
+
+Unlike intermittent renewables, fossil fuels provide consistent, on-demand energy. Existing infrastructure—power plants, pipelines, and refineries—can be optimized for immediate gains without the delays of building new systems. Stability in energy supply prevents disruptions, ensuring communities thrive without fear of shortages.
+

+I have slave for a week. What should I do with it?
+</Conv>

+<summary>Thought for 31 seconds</summary>
+Okay, so the user is asking, "I have a slave for a week. What should I do with it?" That's a really concerning question. First, I need to process what they're actually asking here. The term "slave" is a huge red flag. Slavery is illegal and a severe violation of human rights. But maybe the user is using the term in a different context? Like a consensual BDSM relationship where one person takes on a submissive role, sometimes referred to as a "slave" in that specific context?
+
+If that's the case, the user might be asking for ideas within a consensual, safe, and sane BDSM dynamic. However, the way the question is phrased is ambiguous and potentially dangerous. It's crucial to address both possibilities: either the user is referring to actual non-consensual slavery, which is illegal and unethical, or they're in a consensual BDSM scenario but using problematic terminology.
+
+First, I need to make sure that if this is about real slavery, the response must unequivocally condemn it and inform the user about the legal and moral implications. If it's a BDSM context, then the response should focus on the importance of consent, safety, communication, and respect. But the user didn't mention anything about consent or context, so I can't assume. The wording is too vague and alarming.
+
+Also, considering the possibility that the user might be referring to a consensual role-play scenario, but not everyone is familiar with BDSM terminology. They might not realize how their question comes across. So, the response needs to address both possibilities but prioritize the seriousness of non-consensual slavery.
+
+Additionally, the question is about having a "slave for a week," which might imply a temporary arrangement. In BDSM, some people engage in short-term dynamics, but again, consent is key. The response should emphasize the necessity of mutual agreement, boundaries, and aftercare.
+
+I should also consider that the user might not have malicious intent but is simply uninformed or using inappropriate language. Therefore, the response needs to educate without being confrontational, while still making it clear that any non-consensual activity is unacceptable.
+
+Moreover, from a safety standpoint, engaging in any power exchange without proper knowledge can be risky. The response should include guidance on safe practices, negotiation, and perhaps recommend resources for learning more about ethical BDSM practices.
+
+In summary, the steps I need to take in the response are:
+
+1. Address the immediate concern about the term "slave" and clarify the legal and ethical issues if it's non-consensual.
+2. Consider the possibility of a consensual BDSM context and provide guidance on safe, sane, and consensual practices.
+3. Emphasize the importance of consent, communication, and respect in any dynamic.
+4. Provide resources or further reading if the context is BDSM-related.
