Comment on What the actual f*** is this Rockstar?

“Prove you’re not a machine by training this machine to pass this exact test.”
And we know what the response will be, here. More and more of the internet gated by incredibly invasive verification methods.
If you’re not willing to let the OS/web browser fist fuck your computer’s most intimate areas, down the hardware, and work it like a puppet just to make sure you’re not a bot, then you’ll just be hard blocked from every site. Never mind how that will incidentally allow them to report that you’re using a VPN, or an ad blocker, or some other unapproved software, and even take again against all that,
Truly the biggest concern is the bots.

There is nothing stupid about this unless you believe that the people behind it had no plan to change out the challenges over time.
