This sounds great. I just wish I knew what half of it meant. But, I’m excited.

...the researchers found that their method achieves more than 94.4% success on a carefully curated real-world benchmark dataset

["carefully curated"] == ["cherry picked"]

Why are you excited. Is this a good thing?

I'm not sure what it means. But I think it means the Dark Web will be less dark, more easily monitored.

Lots of bad guys hide on the Dark Web. But also lots of political dissidents, which should include an increasing number of conservatives, the way things are going.

So I'm not sure if this is a good thing.

Good. Is that a letter O or a zero? A one or a small l? Why do they even have those as choices?

G**gle’s reCAPTCHA is a Denial-of-Service mechanism they use to harass netizens who would prefer to surf the web anonymously into using other methods that would allow G**gle to track their browsing habits and collect data on them.

Like everything else G**gle does, it’s part of their effort to create and all-seeing, all-knowing, all-controlling one-world government.

Like everything else G**gle does, it’s evil posing as something beneficial.

All I know is that I absolutely HATE Captcha & reCAPTCHA; Especially on sites where you are already registered and have a a password.

I quit going to some of my usual sites that started using it, including ones I had spent lots of money at.

As far as I’m concerned it is just another evil Google trick.

They always use the ‘protecting you from pedos and terrorists’ angle. But there is nothing magical about this technique that will only allow it to be used on bad guys.

“This sounds great. I just wish I knew what half of it meant. But, I’m excited.”

Why?

What can be used on the darkweb can also be used on the indexed web... So that means anywhere they like, it is not limited to just the “Evil darkweb”.

Q&A “What color is an Orange” kept bots out of our site for a year and a half before a human finally loaded the automated answer in his bot. All we had to do was make a new Q&A.

What if they used words that were considered politically incorrect? From day to day?

Absolutely, it will be used across the board for everything as they like.

The crooks found the easiest way to beat CAPTCHA images is simply to pay low wage workers to decode them.
