I’m not even disabled, but as soon as I see these I close the website.
I haven’t got time to faff around solving some stupid puzzles just to log in to my account.
What the actual f*** is this Rockstar?

CAPTHAs are beyond broken.

What year does Recaptcha change its name to Omnius again?
peopleproblems@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Look man, we can save a lot of time if we send down shielded drones and shoot lasers at them once they’re in position

It reminds me of the difficulty of making things bear-proof without excluding some humans
dan1101@lemm.ee 11 months ago
They want you to solve 20 of them? What is at the end of this game?
jaykay@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Repeat, I can’t do it, it always fails, and then do another 20 lmao
AlternateMrPapaya@lemmy.world 11 months ago
A little puppet on a tricycle rolls out & asks if you’d like to play a game.
bassomitron@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Took me a second to get the reference, but god damn if that’s not spot on with how I feel towards these ridiculous captchas hahaha
Firenz@lemmy.world 11 months ago
An expired token and you get to play the game again. Sony was using this for their SEN logons and walked back the change after maybe a day (if that). The alternative was hilarious; pick out 10 different sounds only to get an error at the end.
It’s the only time I’ve ever called a support line and asked for an immediate escalation to a manager. Customers locked out of their accounts is very bad for business.
benignintervention@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I fucked around with dozens of these trying to get my steam linked email changed, only to find out it’s virtually impossible. Then I sent an email to the support line explaining why I’m never buying another Rockstar game.

Damn was it strongly worded??
RGB3x3@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Blizzard has been pulling this shit. I bought Diablo IV and got this bullshit:
I’d refresh it hoping the “out of 15” was a fluke, but no… Sometimes it was 17 or 18.
jaykay@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
I got that on twitter recently
Sabata11792@kbin.social 11 months ago
That's a charge back.
Eggyhead@kbin.social 11 months ago
i like the games, but their support service and “account protection” bs is abysmal. They’re like characters in their own game.
errer@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Doesn’t look like anything to me.

which is hard to do with suped-up autocomplete like ChatGPT at the moment.
You got a source for that, or is that just a gut feeling?
brbposting@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Interesting read. Big drawbacks with Private Access Tokens?
justJanne@startrek.website 11 months ago
Cloudflare actually had to disable them because people managed to AI automate them too.
HeyLow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
Yeah I was getting that shit too it’s actually broken, audio ones too
There are no captha’s for me on mobile through Firefox on android
jaykay@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Thank you. Managed to get through with Safari
theodewere@kbin.social 11 months ago
i have to perform extra bullshit tasks because the price of their products doesn't include actual support for my account
Aurix@lemmy.world 11 months ago
These things are ableist. We are reaching the point where AI can solve these much more reliably than a human. As a result the difficulty has to rise and will exclude more and more people which might have problems with “basic” tasks from a neurotypical perspective. Not to speak sometimes there might be multiple solutions depending on language and cultural interpretations.
IWantToFuckSpez@kbin.social 11 months ago
These captchas are also training AI models at the same time.
deweydecibel@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah it’s almost like the whole thing was fucking stupid from the get-go.
“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.
schmidtster@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Bthese have been used to train ai for decades. Of course they can solve them, it’s what they are being trained to do by them.
SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world 11 months ago
WCAG AAA actually mentions that. Which includes things like OTP. It’s going to be tricky to balance security with accessibility in situations like this for those with cognitive and physical limitations

The future wasn’t supposed to be like this.
themusicman@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Passkeys ftw
CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 11 months ago
At some point shouldn’t we theoretically reach a point where AIs can solve any possible practical to use captcha just as well as a human? I kinda wonder what the answer to replace them will eventually be
ThePantser@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Let’s ask the AI to come up with something
Jamie@jamie.moe 11 months ago
It’s already beatable right now, there are services in third world countries where people get paid fractions of a penny to solve captchas for machines.
Knusper@feddit.de 11 months ago
Well, this isn’t a problem for smaller, less centralized services, so that might be an answer. Obviously not an answer big corporations will bring to the table, but ultimately, it might simply be among the reasons why users do still prefer smaller services.
nonbinarybit@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Oh yeah, it’s ableist as fuck. The worst offender I’ve run into was a CAPTCHA I had to solve to make a neuropsychologist appointment, of all things. Sure, they only required the use of basic skills to solve, but those were the very skills I was seeking treatment for.
Gave up in tears, never got that appointment.
Aurix@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I feel your pain. I have rare disorders which affect my executive functioning, so simple tasks are insurmountable at times for me while my intellectual ability is unaffected and likely above average. Which leads to two things: I rarely get help making appointments and what to do and just “do it yourself” without guidance and get kicked out. And the other one is that I could not be possibly correct interpreting the test results, because how could I have the ability without being an official researcher to research things. I am deeply frustrated, the more tests I run and see my thesis is correct, the more push back by doctors it is more likely to have randomly a dozen conditions instead of a single one uniting them. Welcome to Ehlers Danlos.
Malfeasant@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I ran into this recently. Trying to get access to a credit union’s system as a vendor, they had a captcha that was the old style image of distorted text, with a text box labeled “are you a robot?”. Having the tendency to take things literally, I initially typed “no” into the box. That was not the right answer.
bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Don’t they normally offer other options for people who can’t do the visual challenges?
MxM111@kbin.social 11 months ago
As if all people can understand English speech well.
brisk@aussie.zone 11 months ago
I’ve had to do a lot of Jira captchas over time. They were so horribly ambiguous that I had a failure rate of about one in two. So I tried the audio captcha and was met with the sound of a demon being murdered and nothing else.
brisk@aussie.zone 11 months ago
I stumbled on this recently
friendlycaptcha.com
I can hardly claim to know enough about captchas to weigh up the cost / benefit, but I was delighted to come across a captcha that didn’t try to force me to train an AI
