If I were to enter the CAPTCHA-breaking business today, I'd probably use one of these services at first to collect a million correct solutions for $800, and then use that dataset to train my AI.
Once the AI is good enough, I can buy a bunch of used GPUs from former ethereum miners, throw them in a cheap DC somewhere, and undercut everyone else! Sounds like a decent side project that could yield a bit of passive income. Somebody else has probably done it already. Maybe OP is that somebody.
- nerdponx 4y agoThis works fine until Google changes the image set. Of course then you can pay another $800, but then your product doesn't work until you update.
- slothsarecool 4y agoThis is what hCaptcha is currently doing, they are switching the image category every 24-72 hours. How useful is it? Not very. Modern ML models such as mobilenet, resnet or yolo require only a few hundred images for it to be accurate to solve those captchas. You don't need few million samples, with 500-700 images per category you are more than ready to solve current captchas.
- kijin 4y agoYep, the cost of keeping the model up to date would be negligible compared to the hosting bill.
- umtksa 4y agobtw hCaptcha has an accessiblity page for you to sign up and never solve a hCaptcha again. here is the link https://dashboard.hcaptcha.com/signup?type=accessibility https://dashboard.hcaptcha.com/signup?type=accessibility *edited typo
- jdironman 4y agoI wonder if stable diffusion / dall-e type offerings could procedurally generate images?
- ShowalkKama 4y agohcaptcha already seems to be using ml to generate their challenges
