Ahhh, we are finally in “make the peasants dance for our enjoyment” phase.
Yeah, they can fuck right off. Time to eat the rich, high time, or widely use that French invention to cut off arguments from rich fucks.They’re gonna have to have SOME alternative to comply with the ADA, right?
Coz believe it or not Google, you miserable fucks, there are ppl who don’t even have hands. There are ppl who have 'em but are unable to move them b/c of paralysis. There are ppl with probs like cerebral palsy who can’t make hand gestures on demand.
Stop pissing in everybody’s cheerios, google. Stop making everybody’s lives shittier.
Anyone know the % of web sites using google’s captcha?
I found a site that might have the info, but … wait for it… … … it blocked me for being a bot! Seriously!
get your verification cans ready
Others questioned whether the technology will remain effective. X user Peter Austin (@PeterAusti61402) claimed he had bypassed the challenge using a virtual camera and AI-generated animations.
Damn, I’ve been reluctant so far to make sloppy AI animations like so many people are, but I may be forced to do so now to protect my privacy?
It will be a cold day in hell before I enable my camera to do anything for google or any of those fucking silicon valley parasites. I will quit the fucking internet first.
Or it will just be another day at work because your employer created you a google profile with all the relevant information for you to log in
My boss is a dick, but he hates those bastards as much as I do.
my ultimate boss is a faceless entity composed of a myriad of bureaucrats and they have assigned me a profile on microsoft. I don’t know what’s worse

You can go back to image or audio captcha via the buttons below, still sucks too.
One my most embarrassing personal moments with tech is that I wasn’t immediately revolted when I learned that captcha was being used to farm training data. I just didn’t think it through, and didn’t think I needed to think it through. A hang over from the era of Google in the naughties I suppose.
Still … fool me once …
The original Google captcha was back in the Don’t Be Evil time, if I’m not mistaken. No shame in believing them back then.
ReCaptcha was actually a positive effort with the goal being to help OCR tons of old books, so that’s worth something.
Good luck. My camera is busted
If I get hit with one of these I’m pressing back on that website. I don’t have a camera and I’m not giving them that much data for free.
It’ll get to a point where using captcha will lose the website traffic and sales and it won’t be worth it in the long run if people don’t give in to this shit.
Looks like they want free data to improve their image generation for hand gestures.
Another method to get facial recognition data. This goes hand in hand with the other ID submission crap. Fuck off, Google.
Cool. I don’t have a camera hooked up to my Mac desktop. I specify Mac because Macs have a cool feature where you can use your iPhone (if you have one) as a camera. So basically I just prop my iPhone up against the monitor, screen away from me, and I now have the best webcam. Except, you have to manually do it, some website isn’t just gonna initiate the connection. It’s gonna ask the computer for camera permission. The computer handles all that on the back end. It’s the same on Windows. If you’re using Firefox, specifically, and you deny a website camera access, it doesn’t see a computer with a camera. Then what? I guess it just falls back on the old one?
Same with my MacBook. It does have a camera, but I don’t have to give any website permission to access it.
Just say no to this kind of shit. You might not be able to with Android, though I’m fairly certain you can. You might not be able to with Chrome, though I know now you can. But the way Chrome killed ad blocking for the most part? Yeah, they can do that with other privacy protections. Don’t use Chrome.
If anything, that’s even easier to defeat than the current captchas, no? Like with a VTuber thing, or something like that. This feels more like it’s about collecting face data
i remember reading that the first captcha with the weird letters was used to train OCR, the second one with the click cars thing was to train self driving cars, so maybe this is to train ai to have a better understanding of hand gestures
You’re not thinking far enough, it’s probably for humanoid AI robots of the future so they can mimick human movements.
im not enabling my camera…
