google captchas are fucking unethical stop making me train their neural nets to log in to my accounts
@Sargoth its impossible to tell which are identity-verifying and which are being used as training data tho
@chr what if
we fed it wrong data enough time to learn to notice which ones are verification and which ones are training
reverse neural network learning
@elomatreb @chr the Neural Wars will begin with us
@chr Remember when recaptcha digitized old books
@chr when it asks you to identify signs, pick everything that looks like a person instead. They'll stop asking you to train it.
@chr my first draft of that reply replaced person with children, so... I'm a monster.
@chr but you know nothing will change because nobody cares.
@popefucker i know. but i can yell at my friends about it and that will make me feel better
@chr 1000%
@chr also they are easily bypass-able by those who want to sign up to a service to do shady stuff. Unfortunately there is “organized” in organized crime.
@chr and they punish you for having turned off thirth party cookies and having adblocker 😡
@chr wait until you have to pass a five minute Turing test on the phone to log in.
@chr I loved them when it was "help us translate books from physical into digital" ...
But now? Pbah.wa...f
@chr we need to invoice them for this labour
@chr I've started doing the audio challenges when I have to do one. I THINK that data is used to help auto-caption youtube videos, so at least our exploited labor is being used to theoretically help people
@chr how are they unethical?
@rubenwardy @chr well, at absolute minimum, they're unpaid labor.
@chr give them wrong data, out of spite
