Now this is interesting. U of Chicago professors Ben Zhao and Heather Zheng have written an image distortion tool “Glaze” that actively poisons the training data for AI when artists’ work is scraped without compensation to train AI. And they’ve open-sourced it: Computer Science for Good (and a little mischief) https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/10/23/1082189/data-poisoning-artists-fight-generative-ai/
@Cryptik I just doubt these tools can work simply by virtue of scrapers automating modern browsers and visually-impaired isers relying on CLI/TUI - based tools and screenreaders all too often.
Willkommen in einer Chinesischen Click-Farm, & damit dem besten Beweis fuer die These, dass der Like Button das Internet zerstoert hat!
Im November habe ich diese hier 👉 https://t.ly/LikeButtonLI ausfuehrlichst beackert... nur wurde dies vor den neuesten Entwicklungen in der Generative AI-Branche veroeffentlicht. Zeit also fuer ein Update:
👉 Social Selling Content-Farmen in Indonesien
👉 #TikTok Streamer:innen unter Bruecken in Shanghai
👉 Filter, die den Druck der Schoenheitsideale verstaerken
Und ja, es gibt neben Vollautomatisierung sogar extra mit Personen besetzte Clickfarmen um z.B. #Captchas zu lösen und #AntiBot|ting Maßnahmen zu umgehen...
#Amazon selbst spielt da ganz groß mit und vermarktet dies per #aws!
Ist irgendwas im #Internet verhasster als #Captchas? Müssen ja was bringen, denkt man sich, sonst wären wir sie doch längst los. Denkste. #Bots lösen sie schneller und liegen öfter richtig:
Fast immer schneller, immer korrekter: Bots schlagen Menschen bei Captchas
Eigentlich wollte eine Forschungsgruppe ermitteln, wie lange Menschen für Captchas brauchen. Herausgekommen ist, dass Bots damit besser klarkommen.
@mho
Eigentlich war das Absichern der Logins mit #captchas nur eine zusätzlicher Nutzen. Im Grunde dienen sie zum Sammeln von Trainingsets für AI/KI bzw. Algorithmen.
Daher hat für mich die Studie gezeigt, dass die bisher gesammelten Trainingsets, zur Verbesserung der automatischen Lösungen geführt hat.
This week I'm researching CAPTCHAs. Do any of you know anyone who works in that space? I'd love to talk to someone who is trying to keep these things working in the age of AI.
Forget F1: the only car race that matters now is the race to turn your car into a digital extraction machine, a high-speed inkjet printer on wheels, stealing your private data as it picks your pocket. Your car's digital infrastructure is a costly, dangerous nightmare - but for automakers in pursuit of postcapitalist utopia, it's a dream they can't give up on.
Today, there's a cool remote attestation technology called "#PrivacyPass" that replaces #CAPTCHAs by having you prove to your own device that you are a human. When a server wants to make sure you're a person, it sends a random number to your device, which signs that number along with its promise that it is acting on behalf of a human being, and sends it back. CAPTCHAs are all kinds of bad - bad for accessibility and privacy - and this is really great.
I print a lot. As far as I’m concerned, #email is dead. It was killed by MS & Google. Probably 99+% of the world still does not use PGP. Web forms? No, they’re also dead to me because I refuse to solve most #CAPTCHAs & most certainly will not solve a Google #reCAPTCHA. Message centers? Also dead to me because a good number of them are snooped on by Cloudflare, or they proactively block Tor.
Even if a web form or message center is non-Cloudflare & open to Tor users, most of them demand too much info. They always make email address a required field. They’re not getting an email address from me if their MX server is Outlook or Gmail.
Hence why I’ve gone back to the paper letter, apart from the few recipients who still have a fax number.
I, a human being, have not been able to get by the #captchas that are sprinkled on this web page. I think they actually originate from the embedded YouTube videos, but I really can’t tell. 🤷♂️
People of the #fediverse, especially those creating various services, there are alternatives to HCAPTCHA when you ask people to create accounts or login. Despite HCAPTCHA's propaganda, HCAPTCHA is not truly accessible to #blind people. It requires us to give up our privacy if we choose the cookie option. The text alternative doesn't work most times. I just tried to sign up for a /kbin server at https://redit.buzz and wasted 30 mins on HCAPTCHA.
@lo__@hen also #Captchas are actually #ableist and not only require #tecking in the form of #cookies to work, but #bots are even better than #humans, so just telling people to slow down will already work most of the time...
