Everyone knows that the real purpose of CAPTCHA tests are to train computers to replace us.
This but unironically.. The purpose literally is to train computers to get better at recognising things
Specifically to help train AI for Google's self driving car division.
Specifically to force all of us to do unpaid labor for Google.
Where's my fucking paycheck‽
Your paycheck comes in the form of personalized ads.
And also to frustrate people who use anonimization techniques including use of the Tor Network to get them to turn off their protections to be more easily fingerprinted.
The funniest part of that is the people designing the AI systems seem to be completely oblivious to the fact that they're slowly but surely trying to eliminate their own species. ☹️
Yes the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders.
