    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!

    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

    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?

    Looks like they want free data to improve their image generation for hand gestures.

    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.

    Another method to get facial recognition data. This goes hand in hand with the other ID submission crap. Fuck off, Google.

    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.

      You can go back to image or audio captcha via the buttons below, still sucks too.

    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.
