Holy fuck I just got literally Plato's Cave'd by ReCaptcha
@mcc .. did it require you to select that or

@barometz @mcc probably. I’ve been forced to call mailboxes streetlights before.

It’s ironic. Originally, this was supposed to be some data collection for recognizing objects for computer vision. Literally a task computers at the time weren’t good at. Now, humans are forced to confirm the computers’ bad decisions. Really feels like they lost the thread and now have confused the map for the territory.i

@jonathankoren @barometz @mcc how do blind people recaptcha? Let the alt text play and chose between "stairs", "no stairs" and "awaiting verdict"?

@nachtet @jonathankoren @barometz They click the headphone button in the bottom left (tooltip text "Get an audio challenge").

How does the headphone button appear to a screen reader? No idea.
