    It will be a cold day in hell before I enable my camera to do anything for google or any of those fucking silicon valley parasites. I will quit the fucking internet first.

    I read the article for the information, but the thing I really want to comment on is this box on the page:

    I have ads blocked, but this is in the middle of the article, so I don’t know if it’s affiliated with the site or if it’s an ad that slipped through the cracks. Either way, wtf?

    Yeah, sure anonymous box, I totally trust you! Here, take all my passwords!

    They’re gonna have to have SOME alternative to comply with the ADA, right?

    Coz believe it or not Google, you miserable fucks, there are ppl who don’t even have hands. There are ppl who have 'em but are unable to move them b/c of paralysis. There are ppl with probs like cerebral palsy who can’t make hand gestures on demand.

    Stop pissing in everybody’s cheerios, google. Stop making everybody’s lives shittier.

    Ahhh, we are finally in “make the peasants dance for our enjoyment” phase.
    Yeah, they can fuck right off. Time to eat the rich, high time, or widely use that French invention to cut off arguments from rich fucks.

    Looks like they want free data to improve their image generation for hand gestures.

      Microsoft required all OEM laptops to have webcams though. That’s a significant amount of devices.

    One my most embarrassing personal moments with tech is that I wasn’t immediately revolted when I learned that captcha was being used to farm training data. I just didn’t think it through, and didn’t think I needed to think it through. A hang over from the era of Google in the naughties I suppose.

    Still … fool me once …

      ReCaptcha was actually a positive effort with the goal being to help OCR tons of old books, so that’s worth something.

    If anything, that’s even easier to defeat than the current captchas, no? Like with a VTuber thing, or something like that. This feels more like it’s about collecting face data

    Others questioned whether the technology will remain effective. X user Peter Austin (@PeterAusti61402) claimed he had bypassed the challenge using a virtual camera and AI-generated animations.

    Damn, I’ve been reluctant so far to make sloppy AI animations like so many people are, but I may be forced to do so now to protect my privacy?
