Does the new capchas even do anything to deter bots, given how easy they are? Like you wouldn't need AI, just a script per type of puzzle.

>>32639
Are you trolling, m8? Those new captchas take like twice as long to complete as the simple post you were trying to make.

I don't think that's just me having giga-brain puzzle autism. They're much easier and less error-prone puzzles than the old "line up the broken warped and noisified code and type it" puzzle. You only have to do it once, while the old one it's inevitable that one will fumble it a few times before getting it right due to the noise making fake letters.

anyone else from europe having trouble to post on 4chan? it seems they rangebanned europe??

The one you're calling the "old one" is like six generations of new captcha deep since the one I'm remembering as the "old one". The one that I remember is the original one, where they took two words, one from a book whose OCR was already verified, one from a book that had recently been scanned, and you had to type both words to post even though only one word was actually being checked, the other word was being added to the OCR dictionary. They used that captcha for years until /b/ started posting racial slurs instead of the unknown word.

Travel to south korea and fly in a raspberry pi with a drone and hope you both find an open wifi spot and you don't start an international incident.

동지, 경청해 주셔서 진심으로 감사드립니다. 저희 요원들이 곧 모시러 갈 것이며, 조선민주주의공화국에서 Disco Elysium 를 즐기시고 burger 를 드실 수 있습니다. :)

Considering what I'm reading,it only seems like AI force you to not be able to license it,which is even better

>>32818
Better for who?

>>32819
in general ?
it both means you can't monetize it,nor even claim it via copyleft or anything,it effectively sideline AI work entirely.

>>32817
Yeah. The “open source community” is going to die. I saw something very weird the other day where a guy on X was telling a vibecoder that he needs to use his copyleft license if he’s building off his code and he just told him he didn’t give a fuck bitch as if he didn’t even understand what the guy was talking about.

This idea here, take some original IP and just tell AI to rephrase it to take ownership, may have further implications than just software. It might extend to… literally all IP.

>>32820
You can monetize it as long as you keep it a secret.

They are not threatening Cockli with closure. Vince wants to close it if they try anything. Not the same thing.
It's understandable but some people would prefer to keep being reachable as it wont change anything for them (GPG use + metadata being already spied on anyway) and they may need it as it's their only mean of communication with some people (like a journalist and his source, just for example).
And it may not even be true at all, for all we know maybe Vince is just trying to grab a few $. I hope not but it's a possibility.

>riseup continues to operate with absolutely no pressure from the powers that be
They were under 2 FBI gag orders a few years ago. Idk but that's some pressure.
Now they have onions, end to end encryption (irrc) and still push people to use GPG and keep ransomware operator at bay with their invite only system, that may explain why they have less pressure.

Again, please stop acting like you don't understand that. I think, I hope (as you said you work in infosec), you are just -acting- stupid.

Could I get a code too?

no

Thoughts on Disroot?

>>32788
I use it. It's nice, but I would still use GPG

damn, so it's not just california. i guess it is a coordinated effort after all, this fucking sucks

they're going all in on literal 1984 surveillance dystopia and aren't gonna stop unless there's a revolution. even if these bills get shot down, they're going to just keep pushing for it and hiding these measures in other bills like they've been doing with everything else.

>>32752
so far it's just California and Colorado but I wouldn't be surprise in the near future more states or perhaps congress would push this bullshit
>>32753
Unfortunately I don't see it being shot down if it pass the general assembly, the governor of my state is a right-wing libertarian anti-vaxxer who thinks corporations should have access to as much data as possible

ai bros on suicide watch

I’ve used AI to generate a bunch of dashboards for various random things I wanted to visualize and unfortunately I’ve gained the ability to instantly recognize vibe-coded UI. For some reason all the bots have a very limited visual language. I can’t unsee it now and so now so many new webpages just make me nauseous to look at.

Just take a look at “dataisbeautiful” if you don’t know what I mean yet. It’s all Claude coded visualizations. Black backgrounds with colorful UI elements, way too much text, too many elements, unironically “not beautiful” representations of data that are overloaded with irrelevant and confounding analytics.

The entire pro-AI side of the discourse is basically just this, isn't it

>>32834
Yes, it’s literally all AI generated posts.

I use it so much at work (code) that I can instantly recognize it and often down to which model and which version. Though they blur together. I’m always surprised and a little disgusted when I go into, for example, Reddit, and see some AI generated OP with AI “polished” responses and the actual humans responding to it not even noticing apparently.

But they also simply don’t care about human life at all, at the far end. They think 99% of humanity is effectively worthless chaff, non-productive and made obsolete by commoditized intelligence. The cause of this is actually primarily capitalism, I think, because they don’t understand the purpose of anything that does boost productivity or make markets more efficient. So if you are inefficient and unproductive, you are worthless. What you are as a human? If you bring this up you’ll be scoffed at, as if this questions is a childish thought that they’ve already refuted.

Incidentally I can totally see the awful agent pipeline they have set up:

>“Hum, the user seems to believe the previous target designation was incorrect. This is a critical issue. I need to handle this delicately….”

>You were right to push back on that. On closer examination, that is not a military barracks but is clearly a school. Do not push that button. This is not a valid military target. Thanks for setting me straight. Are there more targets you would like me to evaluate? Or would you like me to explain why bombing protected civilian infrastructure is a war crime?

i like how your screenfetch logs multiple errors when trying to retrieve the percentage of available space in your hard drive, nice touch.

OP, I…

>>32720
divide by zero lmao. makes sense screenfetch would be written by a script kiddy

>>32723
Notice how it doesn't panic and screenfetch still finishes, that's the power of powershell
