to be fair if anubis becomes the new normal it begs the question why not just have it generate value for the site owner? and even now, all the computations anubis has verified, where did the material value in that fall through to? has it been taken advantage of in a way we don't see right now, or can it in the future?
what about this: if it implies that a human visitor is automatically valuable to a host it kind of extends what we already know about site traffic/views and engagement with content where it's more financially leverageable the more actual eyes were paying attention to it. which has more to do with ads, as we know the idea, but maybe it's a more abstract expression of the inherent value in a human being directing attention and thought to an external stimulus, especially in proximity to the original source; another human being's time and their own devotion of attention.
some things are easy to focus on and some things are hard. imagine a way to extract the value out of the psycho-emotional difference in effort it takes to focus on something hard like calculus vs something easy like videogames.
you know how hard it is to make people listen to you and how good it feels when they do? when you've been noticed, when the other has considered you from your own shoes, when your reality is bounced back and validated. or when you have a moment of sober lucidity about someone else and act in a way they want you to act, when it's hard for you, how you can feel their appreciation subconsciously?
the most basic units of dopamine hit, that feeling of "they like me" and on the other side "oh so thats what they want out of me, thats how I should act".
we are coming up with ways to abstract the inherent value in that and it's something AI can't produce.
we are creating a proof of humanity, a soul validator, which is at the same time a source of value.
