did i say mildly i meant want to nuke it from orbit

You can just watch the YouTube tutorial on how to do these
What type of dice has a mix of pips and numerals?
AI generated type
At that point I’d just do the audio version
Seriously, what asshole came up with this? Some of us have trouble processing numbers.
I don’t think the average person understands how advanced bots have become at bypassing captchas now. Users will see this and be upset, and understandably so, but I’m telling you there is a big problem right now and devs are having trouble keeping up.
and you have to answer like 10 of them
Getting locked out of my accounts by recognition and math ftw
These puzzles give me the real creeps—I can’t quite put my finger on it—something about the imagery makes it look like it was pulled from CSAM or something.
And how do you know what that looks like? 🤨
Where? What’s this for? I might just become a robot instead
I recently got one of these signing in to github.
the one in the post was specifically from the battle.net account android app but i’ve seen them other places too :(
At least yours is a low number. I had to do some with numbers like “37”. I had to solve 64 of these to talk to PlayStation billing support. It wasn’t mildly infuriating, it was enraging. They made me do 16 of them, and then just took me back to the same page as if I hadn’t solved any at all. Then I had to do 16 of them again to be told that support was offline. Then the next day I did 16 more to be told support was offline, so I tried it in chrome instead of Firefox and had to do 16 more to be given a phone number to call, which I had to hold on for 67 minutes before I could talk to someone about a refund for a mistake on my billing. That type of dark pattern “fuck you” practice should be illegal. Fuck Sony.
oh i had to do 10 of them there were definitely some 24s in there 😭
I was trying to book a trip through a travel website, after the 3rd tedious captcha I ended up using another site. I get it, the bot vs captcha war is getting crazy but if your website is unusable then i’m not going to use it.
That’s definitely a new one in the AI v. Captcha arms race, and it’s only going to get worse from here. Build a better sword, need a better shield.
I personally never met this CAPTCHA, but my friend did during our phone call. It was utterly hilarious to hear him slowly going mad to the point of screaming at the computer. I was laughing my ass off. This is too dystopian to be true.
If memory serves the people behind this CAPTCHA are Palo Alto Networks.
Apparently they are the leader in cyber security and use AI everywhere.
So no wonder why these CAPTCHAs are so difficult, they’re probably training AIs.
The irony is that these puzzles, while designed to stop bot spam/fake registrations, are actually used to train AI/computer vision to be better… thus, creating the need for even more infuriating puzzles to be “solved” by humans.
Or just don’t do it? I have really high security setting on my web browser that breaks most sites. If I’m being asked to do something like this I either move to the next site or just pick up the phone and call the company. There really is no reason to feed into this behavior.
Also don’t buy cars because you have to register them, and don’t go outside because of the globalist neo-sexual Jewish space lasers tracking us by our freckle patterns.
It’s a filter for spam bots. For fucks sake.
If a spam bot filter filters me out as well than it’s just a regular filter. For fucks sake.
Sounds like you’re spam.
Sony makes you do this before they’ll give you a phone number to call.
If you put the right terms in a search bar chances are you’ll find the right one eventually. I doubt the sony support number is a very well kept secret.
They’re not designed to stop spam, they’re designed to stop legitimate customer service requests, like refunds for billing mistakes. Sony uses them.
And bots are already better than us at these tests. Might be better to assume if someone solves too quickly they are a bot. Sorry Mensa peeps
