Well, free AI training data.
Can’t blame them, would do the same if I was an evil mega corporation…

They’re actually replacing humans with robots. It’s why they dropped the “Don’t be evil” statement. They are checking progress, the question is: “Are you already a robot, or still a disgusting human?”

No, see Rule 3.

it’s free labor in training their programs

If I were a robot, we’re talking this level of design competence.

Seems pretty competent to me!

I see mobility, two grasping manipulators, at least one non-grasping manipulator (which appears to be double jointed even), paradolia exploiting decorations to use human pattern recognition to encourage better acceptance, binocular visual sensors, what appears to be a projectile delivery device centrally located as the “nose”, wireless communication capability (absolute must), and ample built in storage that is centrally located.

The point isn’t to check whether you’re human. That’s a pretense. The goal is that you help their AI models to better distinguish objects. Essentially, you’re being forced to help train their models. They just can’t label it that way.

Are we all drone pilots helping them to bomb someone’s home these days?

What’s the anime screenshot source? Have seen it so many times and realize I’ve never known

The rules are against them but this has a lot of up votes so I’ll let it slide.

I won’t lose sleep about one or two but don’t personally don’t want to see them dominate the community. There are enough “haha, meme” communities without turning this into one. This community is to help folk in their journey to de-googling which is a difficult and challenging process. It isn’t anti-google. Hating google is unproductive and solves nothing, but actively moving away from a company with so little respect for privacy is fantastic.

I don’t see how this meme helps folk to transition away, so feels real low value to me.

I highly appreciate this policy and wish more Lemmy and Piefed communities had it!

There is not much of a choice. You can stop using google for search, email, etc., but how are you going to stop other websites from adding google recaptcha?

Solrac@lemmy.world on 13 Aug 17:19 collapse

Just because sites use ReCaptcha, doesn’t mean you have to use a google account. Please, don’t mix these two. If a site starts demanding a google account, that is a site that has outlived its usability.

I stopped using Google because of it’s creepy invasive practices (have you checked your “my Acitvity” page yet?) and now I’m looking into blocking Google Analytics once I realized they keep asking for canvas context (so, hardware information). Similar to Meta’s Pixel. Both actual spyware plagues.

I won’t expect everyone to be tech savvy. But Friends don’t let friends use the internet without Ad+Tracker Blockers. Either set up a Device-level DNS (ie AdGuard DNS, Quad9, etc) and/or Set up host-level blocking (like StevenBlack’s Unified Lists) you can do this at the device level, or local network level.
