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
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??
I've hated them since D3 came out with always online.
Sounds like maybe you need a math review lol
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
At what point is it just free labor lol
As soon as someone made recaptcha.
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
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.
Calculator: ( 10^15 + 7.2 - 10^15 ) * 100 = 0
Also calculator: fails Trig because almost every graph is wrong
If they do it too fast they’re probably a bot reading text and asking AI for answers

It is entirely based on the theory that computers can't understand an array of pixels
which has not been true for a few years now
1: but sir, the computers make the images with the pixels!
Boss: ...you shut your whore mouth, IT WORKS DAMMIT! THEY TOLD ME IT WORKS!
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
Nah..... Just kill 1 guy out the door, then hide in a corner rest of the match. Boom. 1 kill, 0 deaths, 100 percent kd
Not perfect, just enough that it rounds to perfect for display.
