Which of the following would you most prefer? A: a puppy, B: a pretty flower from your sweetie, or C: a large properly formatted data file?

Uh, is the puppy mechanical in any way?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

No, it is the bad kind of puppy!

I've used captchas before, this already happens :(

I have enough trouble finding all the bicycles in the photos, they wouldn’t need to change much

Which would you prefer:

  • A large, properly formatted data file.
  • A flower for your sweetie.
  • A puppy.

Edit: didn't see that someone else had already beat me to it!

You have 10 seconds to solve: 4A % 1010

That's too easy. It should ask you to unencrypt a message using a given public key.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe the other way: if it gets solved too fast, it is likely a bot?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

We're keeping humans out, to let the bot empire thrive here. If you can mix base systems to do long division in 10 seconds on the internet, you deserve to be accepted into the bot technocracy

That's pretty much what DRM does, keeping us out of the inner working of stuff

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

They already do for me. I am legally blind and I have to hand my phone off to someone else to get past most the time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Y'all can pick out those buses right now eh?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think they already do.

The number of Captchas I've been failing tells me the AIs are creating Captchas only other AIs can solve.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's that little sliver of tire on the "Bus" captcha that always gets me. Do I tag it? Or not?

I seem to fail it either way.
