  • I only read the text, didn’t watch the video, but from the text it didn’t sound like that’s what they were describing. It sounded like they will present images to people and ask them to confirm whether or not there’s an object there?

    We introduce “MapTCHA”, a CAPTCHA that leverages the uncertainty of interpreting imagery with computer vision, and provides human verification for AI predictions: users are asked to identify images containing correctly interpreted objects, e.g. building outlines.

    Edit: also, here’s the github they seem to be working from - https://github.com/ciupava/maptcha_dev

    Edit 2: I hope they succeed, because it would be great to have an open source captcha that benefits everyone.










  • I don’t think either of those are major issues. I happen to think that Mastodon is OK, almost catchy. Their mascot is very cute too. They officially did away with the Toot terminology quite a while ago, like a year or two, but some instances modified the code to keep that, and the old hands keep calling it that too. Also, keep in mind that I said that I fully expect Mastodon to stay a minor but viable player. It’s never going to overtake a corporate behemoth like Meta, and most likely not even Twitter.
