On: hCaptcha now runs on fifteen percent of the intern...

Recently Google's captcha asked me to mark all the traffic meters on the photos, and amongst the choices was a photo of a mailbox. It didn't let me through until I marked it as a meter as well.

Good luck to whatever self driving car they are training using this data.

Maybe would be kind of fun if we, the users, could form a coalition to deliberately mislabel photos on captures on a mass scale.

It just seems there lacks a way to make it happen beyond the hacker community.

4chan users already used to do this for the old text based ReCaptcha. The idea was everyone put in a particular racial slur (they're not very imaginative) for the second word. I doubt it had any impact.

If I remember correctly, it did have some impact.

I believe at one point you could use that racial slur in place of the second word in the captcha and it would accept it.

I do this. I just click random boxes and it usually lets me through. It’s more clicks, but not necessarily more time.

I would venture that the repeated attempts from multiple users to not mark the mailbox will help with that.

What's a traffic meter? Maybe it's just important that the car doesn't drive into it.

I think he meant a parking meter.

yes, thank you!

:facepalm:

Well that might be my handiwork! About half the time I have to do an reCaptcha i mislabel one of the photos. Because I’m not being paid, I’m being held hostage to an automated system and I will rebel.

That literally happened to me 5min ago!
