#32>npm install playcaptcha Imagine you get pwned for trying this out in your home project and the APT escalates to your company repos and infects your company assets, and then the post mortem comes in and you have to explain this is what infected the company it stack
If you see the code, that dependency just happens to be another file in the repository [0]
The only dependency is the 'motion' library.

#33It's nothing like a claw machine. It picked up the toys twice in two tries. A human would be incredibly suspicious of this.
Yeah, real claw machines straight up have tunable win probability controls(subject to local gambling laws).
but this is fun!

#34Claude Opus 4.8 one-shotted it... I think we should gear these systems towards making the cost of abuse expensive as they will be able to get around these things more and more easily.
It's just a concept, not a real test. Captcha are already expensive at scale due to escalating checks when abuse is detected. You have to orchestrate and pay for residential proxies, containers with different fingerprints, different behavioural data, clean IP rep, emulate device performance to avoid revealing youre running on a server... A 1-shot doesn't scale against this.
If the payoff is worth it, no captcha is too expensive.

#36Much better than Google’s 'find objects in pictures'!

#37Thanks to this game, I was able to change my identity from a slightly less fallen human into a machine. Thank you

#38The most important part that most commenters did not read:
"And to be clear: it checks that someone is playing, not who they are. Keep your real checks behind it."
It's just a game, not a CAPTCHA.

#39I don't know what a next generation CAPTCHA should look like, but I know anything game-shaped will be a trivial target for RLVR. That's like trying to beat Stockfish. That ship has sailed.

#40Is there reason to believe this is a good discriminator of human vs AI? I didn't see any about page, or statistic, or anything like that, but maybe I'm just missing it? edit: The page links to [1], but [1] has none of the information I'm really looking for -- why should somebody use this tool?

Congratulations! You have proven you are human by complaining about the test instead of solving it. Redirecting you now...
