DurotarThese captchas and that there are 4 of them
Confused_EmusI really hate the ones that make to select pictures that contain particular images. Apparently if you do them too fast, they’ll just keep telling you to try again.
Flying SquidIs that why I have to go through 3 of those fucking things per captcha every time?
Being too accurate can also impact you. Try clicking and then unclicking a borderline one.
atocciThe goal is to be worse than the computer now???
Also the anti-fingerprinting in Firefox breaks them. Fucking awesome that I can solve that bullshit and it won’t validate unless I let some asshole slurp my browser data.
I dislike that this is the case :(

In a way, those are interesting because you can use them (sometimes retrospectively) to tell what Google or Google's clients are working on. First it was all the text stuff as they digitized old newspapers and books and magazines. Then there was that period when you wanted you to identify stop signs and house numbers and businesses and other stuff like that - all of that fed into Google Maps. Then it was traffic lights and speed limits and stop signs, which was early self-driving. Now it's motorcycles, buses, bridges, and bicycles - all things that were (maybe still are?) proving a challenge for advanced self-driving. The traffic lights and crosswalks fit into this somehow, though I'm not sure if it's self-driving cars, map directions, both, or something else entirely.
I have absolutely no idea what they're doing with fire hydrants, staircases and mountains, though. It'll probably be obvious in retrospect. But anyway, how do you like your life as not only a data point that Google can sell to anyone interested, but also as a cog feeding data into Google's many businesses and helping them solve their identification issues?
It’s illegal to park in front of fire hydrants so you’d want a self-driving car to know that. However, I think Tesla is pretty much the only company using cameras for self-driving cars (rather than lidar/radar), so not sure this is the real reason for the captchas. Knowing where hydrants are would be useful for Google Maps too.
Staircases can help identify if a location is handicap-accessible.
Fuck is that what it is? Sometime I just give up after they seem to reset 3-4 times
Next time you get one, try giving it a second between clicking each picture. It’ll probably validate after the first or second one.
I feel like all these new captchas (especially the die sum one) will soon be easier for bots than for real humans.
This seems like a basic matrix transform. How is this a captcha?
Looks like it requires some basic OCR and pretty beefy image analysis(assuming the right side is presented as an image). Well within the bounds of modern computing, but expensive enough that you’d be hard pressed to generate thousands of spam accounts.
… making it inconvenient and expensive enough that most people won’t bother.
Sounds like life in general
This is to train the AI claw machine that will place us into our movie seats in the future.
Nah, into our airplane seats! See, if we're all in claw machine seats, they don't need aisles so we can get crammed in even closer together. No more wasting time with overhead bins: when you're in the terminal, you put your carry-on in the bin under your seat, close the lid, and sit down. Then the claw machine scans your ticket, picks you and your seat up and deposits you in the right slot - no more wasting the airline's time holding up the line while someone tries to steal your seat or misreads a row number or fumbles with the overhead bins.
Once you make, they empty the plane by running a full-row claw machine, and then the entire plane is an empty shell, making it easy to clean. The empty seats themselves can be cleaned in the terminals between flights - hell, they can probably set up some kind of conveyor belt autoclean system.
I wonder how much it would cost to bribe the FAA and NTSB to sign off on this concept? .....
This made me giggle
dylanTheDeveloperGreat now Pornhub will have mandatory minigames you have to beat in order to watch videos
Beat a game to beat your meat
I’m so upset at myself for not getting a screenshot but I was in a hurry to complete one and no shit it was a few images you had to confirm if it had a bus in the picture and one of them was a photo of a snow covered bus stop which looked liked Russia with 2 guys having a fucking axe fight, blood splatter in the snow and all…
CallieIsn’t this that bit from Stone Ocean where only 2 seats are safe from the plane exploding?
So now we have Wario-ware style microgames as captchas? Beats “which piece of this image is a bus?”.
And then if you actually click on all of the squares, even the ones with slivers of a bus in it, it’ll make you do it 4 more times, because fuck you.
The trick to these is to solve them as fast as possible.
popemichaelSome of the ones on Darknet are 10x worse. Everything from chess, to a card match game, to long division.
“Please fix my marriage to prove that you are not a robot”
The chess captchas are fittingly also used on chess sites like lichess (or maybe chess.com, don’t remember anymore).
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 🏆It’s gonna be frustrating as hell when captchas have to be solved by answering a complex philosophical question only a human could adequately convey.
ChatGBT will do this…Can already do this pretty well. As can more than a few others.
I feel like chart GPT would probably handle that better than most of us anyway
JackbyDevUsing the arrows please help the drone take out the insurgent base.
Can we just fucking retire Captcha already? It can be defeated and there’s been proof of that. If it’s purpose has been defeated, then it is no longer of use.
Dizzy Devil DuckySo long as you don’t have to redo the whole thing after it’s over, that wouldn’t annoy me as much.
Especially since whenever I have to do the picture captchas where you gotta make sure there are no images of whatever, while using TOR, it’ll make me do it again at least once or twice and is slow to load up said images.
