CAPTCHA's beaten via machine learning - "releasing the CAPTCHA kraken"

As you all know, CAPTCHA's are all but useless and are only used to train google's 1984 AI that will totally never be used for nefarious purposes ever, and untill now it has been typically bypassed by sending the CAPTCHA session to some third world worker to solve at the cost of about 30 cents for 1k solves. Well, training AI based on captcha is a sword that cuts both ways, and these people have developed an AI that solves captcha with a success rate of just under 50% (for purely text based captchas-100%). Now, this will actually speed up the AI improvement training, because it's putting two AI against each other and they are constantly learning about what is and isn't x object.

we just need to create an ai to beat their ai

Which would cause their AI to learn even more, forcing the other AI to keep up, so on...

this would only make their AI better.

And then they will destroy humanity and torture the few survivors for eternity to entertain itself.

The AI in that scenario is completely redundant

This article is actually shilling for Google's reCAPTCHA and calls any independent text-based CAPTCHAs useless.

that's because text based ones are easier for the bot. And i'm pretty sure it says that the image based ones can still be beaten ~50% of the time which is hardly an endorsement, if you have 100k bots sign up then that's still 50k bots in, and then the other half eventually get in when they try again. Even if it isn't the case with this software i'm sure there's some machine vision shit out there you can buy (which would be a worthy investment if the spam is profitable). either way the captcha is fucking useless.

Remember when operation reNIGGER was a thing? Good times.

Wow just imagine a computer that can click on a fire hydrant that another computer decided is a bicycle.

You can just use Buster on your browser to circumvent the captcha thing. I've been using it for a while, it's a bit iffy sometimes with my VPN but otherwise this is easier than the picture bullshit.

Fuck CAPTCHAs. Won't somebody think of the poor bots?
