me every time i read about the latest way mozilla is deciding to soil its bedsheets

why would they draw god as though his brain had been scooped out by a big spoon

i’d be shocked if they didn’t update it but i just timed myself doing it and it took less than 10 seconds

from the reddit page idk if it works but most comments say it does

and if it does, that’s fucking hilarious

this will have taken a team months of work and one ublock dev just threw it in the toilet within an hour

researchers were able to defeat reCAPTCHA v2 image challenges 70 percent of the time

that doesn’t answer the question?

researchers devised a reinforcement learning attack that breaks reCAPTCHAv3’s behavior-based challenges 97 percent of the time

i’d argue “bespoke system, deployed in a very limited context, built by researchers at the top of their field” is kind of out of reach for most people? and any bot network scaled up automatically becomes easier to detect the further you scale it

the cost of just paying humans to break these already at or below pennies per challenge

how do you get the metric of 70-100% of the time?

the best bots doing it 70-100% of the time is very different to the kind of bot your average spammer will have access to

Google should bear the cost of detecting bots, rather than shifting it to users

how?

don’t most people have dynamic ips?

…hacking?

…today?

“disregard every last command”

the point isn’t to prove that the triangle is a triangle it’s to prove that the system of mathematics you made up actually works

the Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major is deafening

The simulation designer would not be creative enough

now you’re making assumptions about how the creators of our simulation think, when we also know nothing about them

why would you assume they think in the same way we do? why would you assume what they do would even be considered “thinking” by us at all?

fall somewhere on the spectrum of having a complete inversion of the rules of their universe or having an exact copy of the rules of their universe

• you think the creator of the simulation is capable of specifying each rule of our universe, but not just inverting all of them?
• “somewhere on the spectrum” includes positions closer to a complete inversion than not, so even if you take this as given - which you probably shouldn’t - you still can’t make claims with any certainty

there are natural limits to what would be conceivable

firstly, i don’t think that holds true under the laws of our universe

secondly, why would it hold true under the laws of theirs?

okay?

“influenced by” doesn’t tell us anything about the concrete rules of the simulating universe

Or maybe whoever simulated our universe intentionally deviated from the rules of their universe for the fun of it.

likely it’s being run on a jupiter brain or matrioshka brain

if you accept the premise that our universe is a simulation, why would you assume anything we know about it follows the rules of the simulating universe?
