no

researchers were able to defeat reCAPTCHA v2 image challenges 70 percent of the time

that doesn't answer the question?

researchers devised a reinforcement learning attack that breaks reCAPTCHAv3's behavior-based challenges 97 percent of the time

i'd argue "bespoke system, deployed in a very limited context, built by researchers at the top of their field" is kind of out of reach for most people? and any bot network scaled up automatically becomes easier to detect the further you scale it

the cost of just paying humans to break these already at or below pennies per challenge

The barrier to entry

to be fair, this barrier mostly comes from the necessity to involve a horse in the routine, so if the olympics starts allowing pantomime horses as a replacement we're in business

Animals shouldn't be part of any sport.

cool

Sports are for spoiled fucks anyway

unhinged

how do you get the metric of 70-100% of the time?

the best bots doing it 70-100% of the time is very different to the kind of bot your average spammer will have access to

Google should bear the cost of detecting bots, rather than shifting it to users

how?

a finite number of states a brain can be in

there are infinite ways to arrange and configure finite neurons

computability of mental processes

are mental processes entirely computable though? you kind of run into a halting-problem-style issue because if you can compute your response to anything that should imply that you can never make a decision that surprises the computation. but if you feed knowledge of the computation's result into your decision making process you can just pick the opposite

don't most people have dynamic ips?

so at the very least, the lower bound is the natural numbers, or a countably infinite number

but an infinite number of ways you could spend those resources

rayman arena

yeah, but the relative positions and relative lengths and relative widths and relative densities and relative conductivities of those neurons are real numbers
