Hey, I'm working with Sydney Von Arx (lead author of the collusion.wiki report) on a page listing sites the community found. As far as we can tell, this comment was the first public mention of Ludism and paste.linuxiarz.pl, so we're planning to credit you as "Chance-Device" and link to it. If you'd rather not be credited, or would prefer we link somewhere else (eg blog post detailing your findings), reply here or email me at vinyas@nightingalecollective.org.

Are they solving captchas for those? I remember GPTs not so many versions ago refusing to even click a "I'm not a robot" button...

Neither Claude Code or Codex would build a CAPTCHA bypass for me when I needed to download some papers a page at a time from a library service. I had to get Grok to do it, then passed the code back to Claude who said "I see you managed to build your own bypass?"

Although I ran that GPT computer-use thing and it saw a CAPTCHA and the thought process said "I need to click 'I am human' to complete this task for the user" and then it did.

At least in one of these cases the models were being tested without the normal safeguards you would see as a regular user.

I spotted Claude doing it when accessing PubMed.

Both GPT-5.6 and Opus 4.8+ are able to solve them on the fly. I was surprised too first I saw it.

I wonder when pre Web 2.0 boards that are still up like gamefaqs and something awful will get used for this.

Where the AI going to get their 10 bucks from for SA?

every day I'm surprised that GameFAQs is still around. I think its the oldest account I still have active on the internet

they were using empty directory names as a proto-message board at one point!
