AI bots now beat 100% of those traffic-image CAPTCHAs
  • No, you’re wrong, the Traffic Light examples ARE specifically to gather data to train models.

    No you're wrong, because the sites that embed those captchas on their page are not doing that to help good.

    If people just wanted a good captcha they wouldn’t need hundreds of millions of photos of street lights and bicycles.

    Yes, they are getting something productive out of the human labor that would be done anyways. Trust me as a web developer, and web scraper, some kind of captcha is necessary for many free services to be useful/economically viable. The core of a good captcha is just making it marginally more expensive for the scraper/bot than it is for you.

  • AI bots now beat 100% of those traffic-image CAPTCHAs
  • Aren’t these Captchas designed to get training data for AI models anyway?

    Yes and no, the captchas are just meant to be hard for computers to solve but easier for humans. People saw that, and thought that "if we're making people do this might as well have them do something useful" not meant to be malevolent- and the purpose is still stopping bots, training them is a side-effect.

    The clockspeed of observation is 18.5 tredecillion Hz

    The real shower thought was about movement across the highest speed we know of at the minimum distance we know of, so I divided Planck length by the speed of light.

    It is very good UX how escalators slow down when nobodies on them but keep moving.

    It makes it clear the direction of movement and how the user has to position themselves so they can ride it without thinking about it- but it saves power from slowing down
