that’s gonna be a “nope” from me, dawg.
“Drink verification can.”
Easy!
🖕
Fuck. That. No website is worth that.
Ppl say this with such conviction but what about your bank website? What if it becomes industry standard and you have no other options? Just going to keep all your money in cash?
I have a hard time believing all banks, including local credit unions, will simultaneously adopt this tech. And if they all do, maybe will I have to consider cash after all. But in the meantime, I’ll switch to a banking solution that doesn’t.
Fair enough. But I wasn’t picturing them simultaneously doing it.
Enshittification is a contagious disease that spreads slowly.
Right, so I’ll bank with the ones that aren’t doing this bullshit. If they want my money they won’t do it, simple as.
It starts with them making things much cheaper if you give them your data. Little do Americans know their full data set could be worth tens of thousands of dollars. That may be a lot to the average citizen but for corps and government, it’s pennies to them.
I deleted my banking app off my phone because it asked me for a selfie lol. I will absolutely switch banks over this.
Yep. Me too.
I just got a letter regarding my FED tax return. They won’t send me a paper check due to an executive order signed by orange hitler. I absolutely do not want the federal government to have access to my bank data considering all the other rights violated along with the constitution. I now have to open a new checking account with $50 so I can get my shitty $50 refund without trump having access to my main account. (What’s to keep them from labeling me a terrorist and freezing my accounts? Gonna make that shit as hard as possible.)
bank acct or not, I’m sure they can freeze assets using your SSN if they really want to
…yes? Some of us are really hardline about stuff. I appreciate the convenience of my bank, but I have learned that if you have loyalty of an outside company, business, etc, you are their bitch. Now me, I don’t mind being a bitch, but it’s for select people. Companies can lick on my balls and suck the dick. I almost closed a credit card with several-thousand dollars in credit because they wanted to verify my person. That was a potential fraud situation though, so after a couple days I decided that is a mutual benefit to keep the card and proceed with the verification.
But this shit? Nah. I’ve closed other accounts (some financial), for lesser reasoning, in the past.
Banking works just fine without apps and websites. They mail you a statement every month. You have a local branch for deposits and withdrawals. They give you a plastic card you can use to make purchases and withdraw from ATMs.
I’ll drive to the fucking bank if I need them.
I will probably first switch banks. Maybe ask EU for anti monopoly?
I don’t think I’ve ever been with a Dutch bank (or any critical/government service actually) that used captchas.
Some of the smaller online-only banks did start using those weird face videos with the colours for verification though.
Fair question, so I’ll pop another one, what about a banking app?
Fun fact: Phone cameras now have enough resolution for AI to get your fingerprints off a photo
I guess I know which hand gesture I’ll be making
The tech giant says the system only analyzes hand-movement points from a short video, does not record audio, and deletes the footage after verification.
It’s just a short video guys, there’s even no audio! And they pinky promise to delete it.
What a fucking shitshow that is. Like, honestly, I’m fine with regular captchas, even if they are the shitty ones. The newer (?) captchas that force you to do solve 5 bullshit “place this there” captchas are already reason enough for me to just leave the site. But if you force me to record a video of me throwing gang signs at the camera, probably several times again, because the movement was not correctly identified, I’m sure as fuck to never visit anything related to you ever again.
I also love the irony that Google fights
peoplebots, while they are scraping the whole internet and investing into AI automation massively.If they do delete the video, they might still take a screen capture or something.
What, so we can help fix the hands?
Yup. They didn’t have enough hands, kinky or Carl.
Nope, just gonna browse away.

We’re not sure how this got into the training data…
Im so sick of this stuff.
Time to go live in a van by the river.
Turn off your computer. Reject technology and return to analog life.
Did you somehow post this from a typewriter
Carrier pigeon.
OP has a friemd who gets the typenwritten posts by carrier pidgeon, don’t you?
No.
When this can be faked in the near future, they’ll be asking for ass thermometers and anus gestures.
Please drink verification can to continue
This can already be faked.
