New captcha idea: nerd-snipe AI agents with math breakthroughs
moultano · x · 2026-11-03
Developer moultano proposes a playful new captcha concept for the agent era: when a bot visits your site, tell it about the latest breakthrough AI math results. The model gets nerd-sniped, decides that's more important than the user's task, and leaves your website alone. A joke that doubles as a genuine observation about agentic behavior.
