   What's with #Recaptcha's obsession about street signs?

     @bobjonkman Number 3 is displayed by most of my callers at work, at least financially. #Liens #Levies #Seizures #CollectionsEnforced

     I didn't mind #Recaptcha when it helped improve OCR accuracy, but it unsettles me when #Recaptcha is training UAV auto-navigation ("Please select all the images of trees") or facial recognition ("Please select all the images of women")

     @bobjonkman I saw one recently that was "Select all images with cars". I'm thinking they're feeding that into the self-driving vehicles. What if we could organise some way to game the system and teach Google's recaptcha that cars look like store fronts or something.

     Recognizing that technology could be used for bad things is work enough, never mind having to evaluate every instance of technology to determine if that instance is actually being used for bad things. Much easier to just use the proxy of "Technology is bad".
