I read the article for the information, but the thing I really want to comment on is this box on the page:
I have ads blocked, but this is in the middle of the article, so I don’t know if it’s affiliated with the site or if it’s an ad that slipped through the cracks. Either way, wtf?
Yeah, sure anonymous box, I totally trust you! Here, take all my passwords!
YIKES
my pc does not even have a camera lol
I’ve got a variety of fun and friendly hand gestures the AI can learn
Show verification can
It will be a cold day in hell before I enable my camera to do anything for google or any of those fucking silicon valley parasites. I will quit the fucking internet first.
Or it will just be another day at work because your employer created you a google profile with all the relevant information for you to log in
My boss is a dick, but he hates those bastards as much as I do.
Sure but doesn’t mean corporate won’t require it.
Mine’s the exact opposite. Not a dick at all, good in most ways TBH. But doesn’t hate google, and really should.
my ultimate boss is a faceless entity composed of a myriad of bureaucrats and they have assigned me a profile on microsoft. I don’t know what’s worse
I have a profile on Microsoft AND Google at my new job… I guess that’s worse. They don’t even have federated identity setup so it’s two different (cause different password rules) passwords
🖕 this is a hand gesture
They’re gonna have to have SOME alternative to comply with the ADA, right?
Coz believe it or not Google, you miserable fucks, there are ppl who don’t even have hands. There are ppl who have 'em but are unable to move them b/c of paralysis. There are ppl with probs like cerebral palsy who can’t make hand gestures on demand.
Stop pissing in everybody’s cheerios, google. Stop making everybody’s lives shittier.
Alternatives for a11y, by Google? That’s silly. They haven’t brought accessibility to even their main products like Google drive, I highly doubt they care. Those of us with specific requirements for accessibility are the least of their concerns.
Ahhh, we are finally in “make the peasants dance for our enjoyment” phase.
Yeah, they can fuck right off. Time to eat the rich, high time, or widely use that French invention to cut off arguments from rich fucks.Fr, do we need to schedule a date or something to mob through the country and eleminate these owning class twats?
get your verification cans ready
Looks like they want free data to improve their image generation for hand gestures.
I have a hand gesture for you Google, here’s the New York bird 🖕
Another method to get facial recognition data. This goes hand in hand with the other ID submission crap. Fuck off, Google.
One my most embarrassing personal moments with tech is that I wasn’t immediately revolted when I learned that captcha was being used to farm training data. I just didn’t think it through, and didn’t think I needed to think it through. A hang over from the era of Google in the naughties I suppose.
Still … fool me once …
The original Google captcha was back in the Don’t Be Evil time, if I’m not mistaken. No shame in believing them back then.
ReCaptcha was actually a positive effort with the goal being to help OCR tons of old books, so that’s worth something.
