    All this discussion about captchas raises a question for me: if fingerprinting is so accurate and easy, that ublock, no cookies and a VPN don’t help… then why the fuck do I have to keep doing captchas?

      Because it never was about security. You’re training LLMs for free.

      I’m pretty sure some auto drive company is getting the advantage since a lot of captchas are spotting crosswalks, traffic lights, stairs, busses, mountains, motorcycles etc. Wonder if it’s fucking tesla

        I’d recon that a lot of that is spliced from pictures captured from Google Map vehicles.
