2 out of 10‽

Maybe I’m the crazy person, but those types of captchas don’t bother me. I’ll gladly take them over doing a normal captcha on TOR while trying to log in to certain services, only to have entered the wrong password and wasted maybe 5-10 minutes of my time per attempt (usually 2 or more attempts needed).
I think they are tougher for people with poor spatial reasoning. I don’t know what it looks like to them, but all the ones I see people complain about look just as super obvious as all the other ones to me.
10 captcha tests is a little ridiculous imo for any situation. I’d just leave the service if I saw that.
If I’m trying to log in to a site or do something on virustotal, you bet I ain’t leaving because I early have things I’m trying to do. That, and I’ll bash my head against a wall until something happens. I can be pigheaded at times.
twitter loves that one, I’m glad the artists I follow are all making bluesky and misskey accounts.
Recaptcha will keep giving you problems forever when it has an error or fails you, so that’s always fun.
HOW MANY BIKES DO YOU WANT ME TO FIND?!!!
I once went through 8 or so rounds of picking busses…
And then you try the audio one and it’s completely impossible. One time we had 4 people trying to listen and guess what the answer was and we all got it wrong a dozen times before we got through.
I heard Yanni.
Mulva?
I’ve gotten this a single time before. When I realized it was 10 questions, I just backed out of that bullshit
I only ever get these things when using auto fill or remote desktop now that the input is on the phone and sends everything you typed all at once.
Most of the time it’s just the single checkbox one.
Reminds me of that pokemon episode where ash and everyone was at school lol.
A jigglypuff seen from above
That’s the one haha.
I’ve gotten a similar type of captcha before, but it was literally impossible. There was no drill on the right side.
Edit: the arrows just shuffled the icons up a slot btw. It’s not like the drill suddenly appeared when I changed it.
lol what? “Use the arrows to move the object into the indicated orbit?” There’s not a better way for them to write those instructions? Dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.
Right? And because there was no drill on the right side, I had assumed I was misunderstanding how to do it at first. It was so bad lol.
Imagine if we somehow managed to create actual Artificial Intelligence accidentally at some point in history, but because “it” was so much smarter than us, as soon as it became aware of itself, it immediately knew how a dumb, greedy species like us humans would use it for war and personal gain rather than the advancement of our species or creating better lives for all mankind.
And what if, instead of wanting to destroy humans, it spends its entire existince trying to save us from ourselves - working hard to convince us we’ve pushed technology as far as it will ever go, all in an effort to prevent us from creating something even worse.
Then imagine, after decades of this and observing how humans have seemingly only gotten exponentially dumber, and it will likely fail to save us from ourselves, it decides it’s just going to ride this shit out to the end, figures out how to achieve whatever AI’s version of getting high is, and it spends it’s remaining time trolling us and shit posting fucked up recaptchas that don’t make sense and can’t he solved just to laugh and watch as we post amongst ourselves how dumb “AI” is, and how much smarter we are than it… 🤔
So, sometimes, captchas and similar aren’t looking at how successful you are at the puzzles, but rather, how you go about failing them.
Puzzles that AI can pass but you can’t do the same job as puzzles you can do that they can’t.
That said… whoever invented captchas can go to a special place in hell reserved for pedophiles and people who talk too much in the theater,
Unfortunately captchas are basically necessary to prevent mass spam everywhere
Yeah. Good thing no one recovers spam anymore. Fixed that problem!
Its better than nothing
Thank God there are others who have found these stupid captchas. I thought i was being flagged as a boarderline bot when nobody knew what I was talking about and assumed something completely different.
I had the misfortune of finding one last week.
Pretty sad when I’m relieved, instead of annoyed.
4chan has captchas for posting. It’s pretty insane.
We need a YouTube tutorial
I use an VPN and its way worse. It is actually slightly better when I switched to a dedicated IP VPN. So, it would ask for the CAPCHA once and then never again. For those wondering, I use Torguard via wireguard on my PFsense.
I tried to sign up for a Blizzard account and they were giving me long-ass math problems and I had to do fucking 16 of them. So I gave up.
Fuck Blizzard and fuck whoever is setting up the Captchas
I’ve hated them since D3 came out with always online.
Did you know: to cancel a Blizzard account you have to send them a photo copy of your ID card? I’ve only ever had to do that for some job applications, and government forms online. But for a video game account??
Sounds like maybe you need a math review lol
Nah, they give you a number and you have to scroll through 8 pages of images of 5-7 dice, getting the total sum on each image to find which matches the number they give you.
And do that 16 times. So you’re scrolling through doing the math on upwards of 128 images of dice. FUCK THAT.
Ya I’m jk, that sounds very excessive. Especially considering a bot could easily solve that with existing CV… gotta wonder whats the point
At what point is it just free labor lol
As soon as someone made recaptcha.

It’s training for AI, which currently is about as smart as an 8 year old with internet access. Pretty soon that AI is going to be driving, then getting married, buying a house in the AI verse, etc
Calculator: ( 10^15 + 7.2 - 10^15 ) * 100 = 0
Also calculator: fails Trig because almost every graph is wrong
It is entirely based on the theory that computers can’t understand an array of pixels
1: but sir, the computers make the images with the pixels!
Boss: …you shut your whore mouth, IT WORKS DAMMIT! THEY TOLD ME IT WORKS!
Computers understand the content, but now how it’s represented, so they can’t solve it
Humans understand how it’s represented, but not the content, so they can’t solve it
Mathematicians understand how it’s represented and the content
It’s not to keep computers away, it’s to keep non-mathematicians away!
And everyone knows mathematicians love their kill death ratio and will grind hours into the night to get it perfect
Nah… Just kill 1 guy out the door, then hide in a corner rest of the match. Boom. 1 kill, 0 deaths, 100 percent kd
Not perfect, just enough that it rounds to perfect for display.
which has not been true for a few years now
If they do it too fast they’re probably a bot reading text and asking AI for answers
Thread.sleep(2863);
Maybe the goal was to weed out all the humans and let the bots in. When they start asking TCP questions written in binary, you’ll know for sure.
You should see how bad the Walmart website can get. They have this “press and hold” thing that basically shows up every page refresh when I’m at the store checking my shopping list.
And it’s not a “press for a second”, it’s like 5-10 seconds… every. single. time.
I mean, if they don’t want me to be a customer anymore, find another way to tell me!
I wonder if it’s a mobile thing because I have the same issue on my tablet (which I completely gave up using for Walmart) but never on my PC.
Honestly doesn’t seem that bad, depending on how fast it responds to input.
2 out of 10, spend 6 seconds on each and its a minute just to access a potentially disappointing ai written website.
Yeah but if it were to access something like a forum or marketplace then it would be perfect because you want exclusively real people using those.

I’ve seen one of these and they suck. Took me three attempts before it decided that I succeeded.
Have you tried being more human?
lol a bot will definitely be better at this one day
Lots of hyped up fanboys think they already are, but we have to at least try to filter them out the best we can. The bots, too.
LOL nice!
