    I tried to sign up for a Blizzard account and they were giving me long-ass math problems and I had to do fucking 16 of them. So I gave up.

    Fuck Blizzard and fuck whoever is setting up the Captchas

        It is entirely based on the theory that computers can’t understand an array of pixels

          Computers understand the content, but now how it’s represented, so they can’t solve it

          Humans understand how it’s represented, but not the content, so they can’t solve it

          Mathematicians understand how it’s represented and the content

          It’s not to keep computers away, it’s to keep non-mathematicians away!

            And everyone knows mathematicians love their kill death ratio and will grind hours into the night to get it perfect

              Not perfect, just enough that it rounds to perfect for display.

        Maybe the goal was to weed out all the humans and let the bots in. When they start asking TCP questions written in binary, you’ll know for sure.

        It’s training for AI, which currently is about as smart as an 8 year old with internet access. Pretty soon that AI is going to be driving, then getting married, buying a house in the AI verse, etc

        Nah, they give you a number and you have to scroll through 8 pages of images of 5-7 dice, getting the total sum on each image to find which matches the number they give you.

        And do that 16 times. So you’re scrolling through doing the math on upwards of 128 images of dice. FUCK THAT.

          Ya I’m jk, that sounds very excessive. Especially considering a bot could easily solve that with existing CV… gotta wonder whats the point

      Did you know: to cancel a Blizzard account you have to send them a photo copy of your ID card? I’ve only ever had to do that for some job applications, and government forms online. But for a video game account??
