Automated code scanners can’t be so dumb that this worlds, can they?
This is the dumbest fucking timeline.
I admire the simple brilliance of this.
Autocorrect hates me, I am sorry.

A computer shop once laughed in my mom’s face for asking if they’d repair her printer. The accepted practice is to just throw the whole thing out when you want new ink or it stops working.
Eventually she tracked down a guy in another town who fixed printers, and he fixed the printer (a bottle cap was jammed inside, in case you were wondering. He returned the bottle cap).
That was 20 years ago and things aren’t better.


I’d say this is only fair game if you have a no-ai policy on the readme. Otherwise you’re just being a dick.
I think that’s a generally accepted practice among enthusiasts.
I’m a little upset about that tbh.
That’s one of the nearest things humans have ever built.
Definitely a top 20.
I liked your article, personally I like seeing authors able to see discussion of their work too, so in my opinion self promotion here is good.
I do think we are trying things with software now that were impossible before, which also plays a role. But then again, RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 is basically a perfect game, and it’s written in incredibly performant assembly code, so we should still ask for more if RCT2 can show us near perfection years ago.


It’s time for a mass removal of boomers from political power. They do not understand technology, and have trillion dollar companies, acting as complete monopolies, spoon feeding them poison and they’re perfectly happy to sacrifice us all.


It’s not replacing jobs, it’s being used as a scapegoat.
You could probably fire a lot of Meta and not lose any real productivity. Just look at how’s much resources they allocated to VR and stalker glasses?
The truth is these companies spent covid playing Pokémon card collector with devs and now they’re spending hundreds of billions trying to capitalize on AI, so they need that cash flow black to pay for loans.
But on the other side of the same stick, you’ve got employees who you can now whip harder and say “look, we can make flappy bird with an AI model, do your deep work using 100 ai agents instead of thinking”


Because the whole point is to deanonymize you for marketing.
This is at launch integrate with Google Analytics. It’s about following you around everywhere you go online and selling that data to ICE and whoever the fuck will pay them.


It feels like a terrible horrible no good bad month for Linux :(


Not necessarily, you could compute embeddings on device, but that requires decent compute.
And embeddings are reversible and don’t preserve privacy. It’s not meaningfully better than video.


I’m getting close to just giving up on the internet.


100% real.
All reCAPTCHAs are converting to Google Fraud Defence automatically.
reCAPTCHA is adding new challenge types including Mobile Device challenge through the reCAPTCHA app, which only runs on iOS and Google Play Services on certified Android (Not Graphene, Lineage, mobile Linux).
They’re also adding camera video challenges, so you have to prove you’re a human by showing your face and doing hand gestures on demand. And they’re adding features to require biometric verification.
Plus, reCAPTCHA is now fully integrated into Google Analytics (funny how that works), so you can “reach the right audiences”.
So we’ve gone from “prove your not a bot” to “prove who you are, link your browser to your phone, and show us your face and then we’ll let you see our 15 million websites”.

reCAPTCHA will continue to be the core bot defense pillar of the broader Fraud Defense platform. Existing reCAPTCHA customers are automatically Fraud Defense customers, with no migration required, no action needed, and no change to pricing. Your existing site keys and integrations remain exactly as they are today.


The real value in this is the free electricity and residential proxy network.
Honestly everything I’ve heard in the news today is fucking insane.
Want to browse the internet from today forward: download the Google Captcha App on verified Android devices and prove your identity to Google first.
Yeah, that’s Google’s new recaptcha system.
I just learned from Jeopardy that the French call them little trumpets and now I could spend hundreds on paperclips.


Not sure what you mean by that.
I’m just writing an email to oppose this, my email is not like the above poster. I am just laying out arguments why this is a bad solution and will not work.
Which is what we’re seeing with kids drawing moustaches and borrowing IDs at will.


I can’t wait to email this to my MP
Canada Bill S209 needs to die. It’s bad legislation.
Why do rich people always assume people who disagree with them are paid?
I know the idea of “AI psychosis” exists, but the majority of rich people have “sycophant psychosis”. I’m convinced this is the exact same phenomenon.
Being surrounded by a monoculture and yes men mashes your brain rot so fucking fast.
