So is this the end of Google captchas asking for where the car/sign/whatever is? Will there be a final battle of AIs, where they will kill each other, and the unfettered access to websites over VPN/tor wins and laughs the last laugh?

The future is going to be your corporation/country/blockchain's AI vs your adversary's corporation/country/blockchain's AI with vast numbers of humans in the middle of the whole sh*tstorm just trying to survive and live a tolerable life.

That's good, though, I wouldn't want a future where a single AI has all the power. We need a multitude of AIs to increase equality for humans and diversity for AI.

I'm happy that tech companies are open sourcing basic research all the time, and thinking a lot about what would have happened if large pharmacy companies did the same thing. I'm just hopeful that with new biotech companies the science behind curing people will get faster as well.

There is a company creating a 3d-printed chemical reactor. By downloading a schematic and buying some raw substances, you can create your own lab. It can be used to synthesise drugs in remote areas, such as on Mars, or to make generics for cheap. The exciting part is that the reactor schematic can be downloaded and shared easily. It can also make illegal drugs just as easily as 3d-printers can print guns.

Google doesn't even show a catpcha if they have enough tracking info for toy to verify you're a human, which is pretty simple for them if you don't clear all your cookies for a few days. I'm pretty sure Google thinks if they have to show you a catpcha they've failed, but along with that they don't feel the need to make the catpchas particularly easy if they do have to show it.

Code is cheap. Training data is expensive

Not if you have simulator :)

Has someone ever tried to submit images from Google captchas to Google Images?

An answer like "This is definitely a sign" from Google Images would be funny.

Does anyone know an alternative that works on RaspberryPi? This states: "Detectron operators currently do not have CPU implementation; a GPU system is required." Even low FPS (3-5) would be acceptable.

It's a bit disappointing, when caffe2 was released it was stated that mobile is a big focus, but things like this don't support mobile (even though some of this was demoed by FB on a phone).

Except when it doesn't. Every so often it suddenly spams one with sheer number of captcha on sites that use the Google's Recaptcha API. Then you have to solve detect the houses, cars, store-fronts, deceiver plates and street signs several times successfully to move on or be prepared to solve several more captches to be allowed to move on. I would wish Google fix Recaptcha. It used to be so good.

There's CNTK, but I don't know how well does it work :) https://github.com/Microsoft/CNTK
