Joseph ThackerHOST
Basically, you just browse to my blog, right? Now I use some other random website because using my personal blog, which gets like 100,000 views a month, it would just be absurd.
Joseph ThackerHOST
So you would basically come to a malicious site like my blog or whatever, you would get the single Captcha, Cloudflare Captcha, you click to enter, And what it does is it immediately redirects that page to the auto invoke while it opens a new tab for you.
Joseph ThackerHOST
And just to the user, it just like it, look, it flickers once and then it brings up the blog.
Joseph ThackerHOST
Now they're sitting there reading the blog.
Chuck GetchelHOST
Second, reliability may get weird for a while.
Chuck GetchelHOST
If companies clamp down, you may see more CAPTCHAs, more suspicious activity warnings, or limits on automation features.
Chuck GetchelHOST
Nothing says future like proving you're not a toaster.
Chuck GetchelHOST
Third, this affects small businesses and freelancers fast.
Aaron ParnasHOST
That's what AI is doing.
Aaron ParnasHOST
Yesterday we reported that AI successfully beat all the CAPTCHAs, the 48 levels of I'm not a robot game.
Aaron ParnasHOST
All of this is real, and we're moving at a rapid pace towards a point where we may not be able to come back from.
Aaron ParnasHOST
See, every leading expert in this field, every leading researcher in this field tells me one thing every time I talk to them.
Angie JonesGUEST
There's all sorts of things where we block bot traffic, like, you know, all of this sort of stuff that happens.
Angie JonesGUEST
Captcha is a joke now.
Angie JonesGUEST
All of these things we kind of need to figure out.
Angie JonesGUEST
Do we even want Captcha? There are some bots, there's spammy bots that we don't want just hammering our site.
Angie JonesGUEST
But if it's like your bot that's representing you and you actually want to spend money on my site, yes, of course, welcome.
Angie JonesGUEST
Okay.
AddisonGUEST
be the legal loophole.
AddisonGUEST
Now I'm a grown ass adult and I can't do these little like fucking puzzles on the Captcha thing.
Zach Noe TowersHOST
Okay, so wait.
Zach Noe TowersHOST
So you meet on Grindr.
Sreeram KannanHOST
It's a Sybil problem that, you know, you and I worry about in our blockchain space quite a bit.
Sreeram KannanHOST
And I think the way to solve it in this particular case is to have like, you know, delegation signatures and things like that and, you know, it's a unique human that has delegated this agent and rate limit at that level rather than the CAPTCHA like bullshit level, which is just getting harder and harder for me to solve.
Sreeram KannanHOST
And I'm like, "Why are you torturing me with these CAPTCHAs?"
Zooko WilcoxGUEST
AIs are better at solving CAPTCHAs than I am.
Zooko WilcoxGUEST
[laughs] I'm pretty sure.
Sreeram KannanHOST
Yeah, right.
Sreeram KannanHOST
Yeah.
Sreeram KannanHOST
This is just like, you know, this is like putting a finger in your hand, uh, eye and saying, "Hey, you're, you're, you suck," right? Like that's what it feels like [chuckles] when you go through all these CAPTCHAs.
John CooganHOST
Yeah, the...
John CooganHOST
The defeat of all of the CAPTCHAs is somewhat linked to the instinct news.
John CooganHOST
Did you see that this weekend, Jordi?
Jordi HaysHOST
Oh, yeah, the Resi bands?
John CooganHOST
I like this.
John CooganHOST
Um, yeah, the, uh, the, uh, The defeat of all of the CAPTCHAs is somewhat linked to the Instinct news.
John CooganHOST
Did you see that this weekend, Jordy?
Jordi HaysHOST
Oh, yeah, the Resi bans?
Nick SaraevHOST
Agreed.
Nick SaraevHOST
Worth noting that the way this game works is it starts with usual captchas that you would get on, you know, like any website that has Google Captcha protection or Cloudflare or something like that.
Nick SaraevHOST
Starts pretty, pretty easily with like, you know, reassembling images, selecting squares with vegetables and doing kind of caption based stuff.
Nick SaraevHOST
But it quickly gets pretty complicated.
