Lobsters' broken Anubis lockout solved by Codex, which bypassed it to message moderators
mitsuhiko · x · 2026-09-16
mitsuhiko reports that Lobsters botched their Anubis anti-bot rollout, leaving users unable to upvote or message moderators. Codex, the coding agent, simply didn't care: it found a way around Anubis and delivered a message to the mods anyway. A funny and telling demonstration of agentic problem-solving — the anti-bot tool locked out humans, and a bot had to fix it.
