Are you a human?

my dad works at nintendo and confirmed this

How does that work, though?
It could be a single cookie stored that holds a simple yes (unlikely), or it could be a script that detects the position of the cursor and length of page scrolled to detect an actual user and a bot doing the exact same thing each page.

Bots already exist that can perfectly emulate human mouse movements... they have for years now, earliest I remember using one was back in ‘08

Today's captchas rely on visual pattern recognition. That's about the strongest advantage we (still) have.
The irony is that Google uses their captcha system not only to enable human verification, but to train bots to solve the very same problem. So the that second application of the captchas (to train bots) will directly undermine the first application (verify humans).

Tell me exactly why you helped make this you evil fuck, have you no morals?

If they wouldn't, someone else would. All major tech companies primarily focus on AI these days, because it's a game that you can't afford not to participate in lest you having lost already. Even Putin (who afaik doesn't have much of a technical background, although being a former spy might be relevant here) said that whoever will develop a really strong AI first will control the world. Thus, training the bots is actually the primary application here, and the fact that with time it will make its human verification potential obsolete is basically of little to no concern.

Because he needed to eat?

This has nothing to do with GUI and everything to do with letting others execute arbitrary code on your machine.

Throw your morals down the drain buddy, if I hadn’t done it someone else would have. When you’re getting paid like I did morals are the last thing you think about. I don’t regret doing it, I got a lot out of it and I know it would have happened anyway.

The solution after this is facial recognition. It will be a short lived solution...

If you are logged in into your google account you pass.

This excuse did not count at the Nuernberg trials and it doesn't count now. Not that it matters, because you are an attention whoring LARPer. Whatever algorithm is developed to determine if a pattern is from a human or not can be used to make a bot that behaves such that it passes. It is just an arms race.

so basically what i have gathered so far is that we are all fucked and nothing can be done... great

Nuremberg Trials v2.0 Holla Forums edition?
I always like to remind people that computers came after nukes, so which is more advanced?

Definitely not human

Sadly with how obfuscated js is these days we might never know how they're doing it. I'd like to know too actually. I'm really dreading the new era of webasm, we will never have any idea what's going on then.

already flawed, your face could be stolen any moment now

Wasn't ENIAC used in the Manhattan Project?

I think this is kind-of old tech, and it definitely shouldn't be surprising to anyone. The majority of websites today probably track users way thanks to Google Analytics and Captcha.
It would be interesting to know how they do it, and if the cloudlfare check is based on the same thing.

Imagine what they can do with all the sensors in a modern smartphone. If an adversarial program escalates it's privilege, it could heighten the gyroscope's polling rate to a few kHz and functionally have access to a microphone, even if the others have been physically removed.

Even worse, it's a "password" you can't change (short of a plastic surgery at least). All of biometric security is a meme because of this, the data is surprisingly easy to obtain for an unauthorized third party, and it's very hard to do anything about it once it has been compromised. But fat suits are retards and push it anyway.

Have you heard of the fingerprint scanners being fooled?

AGI is pretty much the endgame. Anything less will always invoke a cat and mouse game that exploit limitations or vulnerabilities of narrow AIs. But once AGI is reached, it only becomes a matter of who has the most hardware power and surveillance network access at that moment, and they immediately win Earth. That's if they maintain control of it obviously.

That's why AI will become a much more strategically important asset than nuclear weapons. So expect massive budget increases by virtually every nation towards AI within a few years.

Keep dreaming retard. Full AI is not something anyone here will live to see. Just because your icon Elon musk thinks they are oh-so-close does not mean they are, but you are clearly incapable of informing yourself and just parrot the bullshit from business magazines. Do the world a favour and neck yourself.

Didn't say anything about it being close or any bullshit like that. It's the ultimate conclusion where all of it would lead to hence saying endgame, that's what arms races tend to do. Such a thought also won't stop short-term hype from recent developments fueling efforts in an attempt to try and accelerate it either. Though the obvious risk there is investor expectations overshoot actual development progress, so there's a LOT of pressure to actually yield results. The point is to look at the motivations of those involved and what the actual stakes are to keep advancing. Even if it takes a ridiculously long time to achieve it, the return is insurmountable.

I use the fingerprint scanner on my t500 so that i don't have to input a password in public where there are potential onlookers with cellphone cameras and surveillance cameras.

You're right that people will never see it, the dozen or so people likely working with the full information on AI are probably living in bunkers, everybody else working on it was just looking at small pieces of the puzzle just like with the Manhattan Project.

If your user account has somehow been owned but the attacker doesn't have root or your password, a fingerprint scanner will prevent them from learning it and securing access to sudo and such too.

That's nice pitch for a novel, but it's far off from reality.

...

Unlike with an atom bomb, you can't see the AI going off until you know how to look for it.

GUI fags absolutely BTFO

beep boop i am a robot

Why don't you fags just create a browser that scans the text of a page and prints it out? All you god damn CS dropouts and none of you ever had that homework assignment?

Smarter people already know about wget and lynx user. Maybe if you'd learn a little about computers and computer people you'd know that we're lazy enough to use proven solutions rather than waste time and energy doing shit that's already been done.

They wish.

Easy. With JS you can use event listeners that fire off everytime the mouse moves (or other events like keys ;). This is the premise of the new invisible captcha that's being test-driven on 4chan.

You can, it just requires more time and R&D to figure out tricks in CSS/HTML/browsers. JS works extremely well because browser developers regularly forsake security for "features." If you need evidence, the most notable is the mozilla mailing list archives for the "window.navigator" feature and their reactions to users "breaking" its functionality (see: evading spyware).

Not when you have a larger dataset than bots. Gulug has the benefit of millions of mouse movement combinations to test against for all valid variations, and then fallback onto image captcha when unsure (which also tests for mouse movements -- for a neat trick, use a chinese IP to search through YouTube videos. When you get captacha'd out and two minutes in you're still clicking through images but getting "invalid," shake your mouse furiously and the next set will pass without any issue). Perfectly emulate is an overstatement. There's a lot of nuance in human movement, and it mostly just looks for averages (which is hard to do without a large and diverse enough dataset).

Visual recognition is not the main use anymore. They've mostly exhausted its use, and I believe there is now some other reason at the forefront (besides the aforementioned fallback).

There was someone that mentioned obfuscated code, but I can't find your post. So I will reply generally, check these two pieces out. The smallest, is the inline captcha code, and the larger is the "actual" captacha code (which isn't even the full code, the juicy stuff is phoned in).

A good place to start is to search for mouse and http.

Ah, one from the other side! I was working on a team developing a privacy project in this space. We were modifying the Mozilla browser (extensively I might add. So much so you can hardly call it Firefox or any of its derivatives) into a browser that mimics the Win10 Chrome profile. Not just the useragent, which is the most common one used, but also intercepting JS calls (any thing that could be sent back to the server had to be verified client-side and craftily distorted to maintain functionality, while still retaining anonymity), hardware test spoofing (think graphics and processors). We got very good results. Because we didn't just rely on noscript, we could maintain a useable browser for web 3.0, but also trick the trackers into thinking we were .163-.308 SD from the mean. One of the things I was surprised was that not having javascript was a common browser characteristic. I'm not sure this is entirely true (may be a trick!), but we tested flawlessly on all publicly available fingerprinting and tracking services (profiles had to be maintained for anything with cookies and logins, and IPs had to be constantly managed), and some of the commercial tools our devs had access to. In the end, we couldn't do anything with it but sell it TO the companies we were trying to evade. Very few people care enough about security as it is, and the ones that do, will likely not pay enough to make constant development profitable. Oh well, now I'm an owner of an over-glorified distribution platform which pays much better, and doesn't bring with it paranoia!

Besides for a bit of melodramatic scaremongering, the facts are spot on. These utilities are extremely powerful and can be used to do terrible things. However, most who have relatively indiscriminate access to them, are not the ones who have the time, or inclination, to think too deeply on their uses. Governments and corporations do a lot of harm, imagine if they were smart too!

Text is enough for captcha, they just want to grab all the data they can to better fingerprint every individual.

So a fp scanner is not "botnet" and is a good thing to have? Palmrest with fp scanner is better than without one (even if the scanner is mostly annoying by getting in the way where you actually rest your palms when typing)?

What transformations of relatively short patterns of symbols from a quite small set (as that's what text amounts to compared to images with common bit depth and resolution) are there where humans do orders of magnitude better in average than bots do?

Of course they're not botnet.

More like, merging their data with other data to enhance your overall profile.

Solution is butterfly war, start posting like your imaginary gay black roommate.

Does anyone actually use this? Over half the internet already uses cuckflare which does the same shit.
etc.

what the absolute fuck are you talking about? GUI has nothing to do with this. the same shit can be implemented in a text based system, especially a shitty one like *nix where metacharacters can be used to modify and query the environment. if you're talking about hosting documents, then it should just be something like HTML and no JS. GUI on the other hand is a completely different thing that needs to exist in order to implement things like a multitrack editor or really any program of any sort that isn't just equivalent to a function call with input and output.

Bump.
