Aw man, you haven't seen the 'captchas' of arkose labs yet... those are a pain (twitter used to have them some time ago).

Aw man, you haven't seen the 'captchas' of arkose labs yet... those are a pain (twitter used to have them some time ago).
- Aachen 2y agoAre those the ones where you have to add up dice and select a matching third one or something? The ones GitHub used for registration, say, ~9 months ago? You're right! I forgot about those. A colleague and I tried to complete it independently but literally could not. One run would take multiple minutes and on the second try I was more diligent (taking even longer) and certain I did all the math correctly, but registration was still being rejected. Our new colleague did not sign up for GitHub that day and got the repository from a colleague who already had access instead Edit: seems that's yet another one. Arkose <https://www.arkoselabs.com/arkose-matchkey/ https://www.arkoselabs.com/arkose-matchkey/> is the ones OpenAI used to use on their login page until ~2 months ago, I found them very reasonable (3x selecting a direction an object is facing in), even if unnecessary since I provided the right username and password from a clean IP address on the first try
- ComputerGuru 2y agoFyi OpenAI challenge isn’t there to protect against hackers trying to steal/brute-force logins in this case but rather trying to stop bots from using all-you-can-eat (albeit rate limited) plans from supplanting their more expensive api offerings.
- Aachen 2y agoI thought of that, but the captcha appeared only and consistently before every login attempt. Never while interacting with the bot, so I'm not being rate limited Not that I send a lot of messages because I'm aware of the resource consumption, but so it could hardly be that I need to do another "token of human work" when I next open the page when I'm not even logged in yet
