#32I guess validating a payment card is going to be the next step to sign up for whatever. Don’t allow pre paid BINs and let’s go. Gonna be pretty miserable, however someone needs to find something as I currently would rather pay 0.01$ instead of solving a captcha. Especially the select all the bicycles; it’s a waste of life.
Please. Last time I had to solve a captcha it was wasted 15 minutes (not exaggerating!) of my life, clicking on an endless stream of bikes, motorcycles, buses and stoplights. As punishment for using a vpn.

#33Someone will get rich turning this into a browser plug-in.
Nope, the moment this becomes a viable solution then spammers will pick it up, making captcha useless amost overnight. Websites will very quickly pivot to alternative solutions like payment card verfification, etc.
Or to the next unsolved problem in machine learning. The whole point of ReCAPTCHA, at least, is to convert all this human labor into training data.

What replaces captchas? Are there any not excessively burdensome tests that a standard issue human can pass that a machine somehow cannot? I'm assuming the "find all the bicycles" tests are also obsolete.
> a standard issue human can pass that a machine somehow cannot? may be the premise is wrong. Why prevent non-humans from registering/using/viewing?
Because automated systems operating at scale outstrip the ability of the administrator to maintain the service provided.

#36I already had issues with captchas (specially on tor).... so now its going to get worst?
Tor is practically unusable for me because it triggers so many captchas. I end up using Mullvad Browser, which is similar but byo VPN.

Solving captchas is pretty rare nowadays. Now you usually just press a button and then it does some sort of fingerprinting to determine if you're a human.

Nothing. People will have to realise that when you put things out for the world you put things out for the world.
Who pays for the bandwidth and download resources then?

The price we pay for obfuscating the trust signals on our connection is that our connection is untrusted.
As an American, I have a similar experience when I travel across the Atlantic. It's always funny to me when I land in the UK, start using websites I use normally at home, and get cookie verification modals from hell to breakfast.

#40Good. Hardware authentication is where it's at.
Like the Clipper Chip?
