    If you’ve ever wondered why porn sites use pictures of cars, buses, stop signs, traffic lights, bicycles and sidewalks in their captchas, it’s because they’re using the data to train car-driving AIs to recognize those patterns.

    This is not what an imminent breakthrough in cancer research looks like.

        Google recaptcha? They literally talk about this publically. It’s in their mission statement or whatever. It’s used to train other kinds of model too.

          They were. They haven’t been using recaptchas to collect trainings day for years now.

          Y’know, it’s bullshit that a) you seem to expect this to be common knowledge, as if everyone is supposed to have an archive of internet minutiae saved in their heads or have read and remembered any such info at all…

          And b) you chose to downvote and pretty much just said LMGTFY without even the sarcastically provided results instead of backing up your claim. It’s basic courtesy to provide a source for claims instead of downvoting like it’s some kind of affront to your ego that someone wants info on your claim.

            It’s not even my claim you are talking about jackass. Read the usernames. If you have fallen into the rabbit hole that is Lemmy you should have been around enough to know about recapcha. If not it’s one DuckDuckGo search away. In fact you could just click the link on the recapcha itself that explains how they use the data for training. Hardly arcane knowledge.

            Your comment to me read like Sealioning.

              Ah, that makes it so much better. My bad for you jumping into an argument randomly? You’re not improving my view of the shitty attitude here when you double down on “you should have known.”
