Google ReCaptcha
Google ReCaptcha is one of the most horrible insult one can send to it's user base.
KillBots
The raison-d’être of Boston Dynamics is to produce military drones. Google bought that company. They are used against citizens (NYPD war dogs), I guess they needed to mecanize the dogs of the state.
User-farm
The internet is not a free workforce, if you want people to take time training your AIs or to do reviews, contract them properly.
I will also not produce work where I don't have any rights on it's final product. For example, want me to fill Google Maps? Nah, OpenStreetMap is a much better project for this.
Captcha alternatives
On the internet no ones knows you're a dog.
Well now everyone wants you to use your automata to proove that you're not an automata through skills that aren't human-defining, what a joke, here is some alternatives:
- Use an invite-system, can be bootstrapped with allowing a contact method in case people do not have invites
- Use proof-of-computing mkproof is an example that scales well on users machines
- Combine both?
And if you throw captchas at already fully logged in connections or at the login page, you have a security problem or you need to learn about rate-limiting. Do your job.
