I strongly encourage people who still think like OP to look up what happened the last time we paid off the national debt.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Andrew Jackson sold off enough Native American land to cause a real estate bubble, and between that and other things started a bank run, and the kind of people that think they’ll win the shell game pretend it’s because non-productive debt is good, and the problem was elimination of debt, not how it was done and other circumstances (among them being on a gold standard so you can actually do a bank run)

Yeah, the same guy that when he walks into court the defense high fives each other. Why the hell do people know about the ambulance chaser from Houston?

JonTron. That’s how.

Grew up with his commercials appearing multiple times every ad break.

HotWheelsVroom OP ,

I see you are a JonTron fan as well…

Tell me you don’t understand how credit score works without telling me you don’t understand how credit score works

CaptainSpaceman , in the debt

Whats really neat is that modern credit score systems are only 40-50 years old

rockSlayer ,

And what’s sad are the number of people that act like credit scores are a force of nature we just have to accept

if it makes you feel any better you’d go to prison if you decided to run a ponzi scheme… unless you’re a bank, that is

Varven OP ,
@Varven@lemmy.world avatar

Wait a bank is a Ponzi scheme

confusedbytheBasics ,

Not literally. I bet the poster notices the overlap between ponzi and fractional reserve lending and doesn’t care about the differences

blazera ,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

Which is?

SexualPolytope ,

Bank is legal because… reasons…

confusedbytheBasics ,

Lota of differences but the key is: A ponzi scheme pays returns out of future investment. Fractional reserve lending pays returns from interest collected on investments.

PunnyName , in the debt

The US also has a credit score but with other countries they do business.

Maelvie , in the debt

International associations managing countries credit scores are all located in the usa. Therefore the incentive to valorize debt.

I thought Jews were supposed to think critically about religion. After all, that’s why Yahweh keeps the devil around, to question them.

noahm , in The fuk? Please help me complete this insane captcha

Just ask ChatGPT; it’s better than humans at proving its humanity with these stupid things.

can ,

I wouldn’t be so sure, I asked bing:

Based on the whimsical nature of the objects described in the image, it’s a bit challenging to determine the shortest lifespan as they are not typical living organisms. However, if we consider the objects metaphorically, the burger-shaped car might represent a food item, which typically has a shorter lifespan due to its perishable nature. In contrast, vehicles and cameras usually have longer lifespans as they are non-perishable goods. So, in the context of the CAPTCHA, you might consider selecting the burger-shaped car as the object with the shortest lifespan. Remember, CAPTCHAs can be subjective, and the correct answer may vary depending on the specific logic programmed into the test.

Wilzax ,

I mean I would have picked the burger

can ,

Me too, but it’s not a car

Albbi ,

You don’t know that. Why else would it be on a map?

can ,

Touché mon ami

brbposting ,

w/no prompt, GPT-4o:

To complete this CAPTCHA challenge, click on the hamburger in the image. Among the objects shown, the hamburger has the shortest lifespan.

If captchas are easily solveable by bots what is their point then?

brbposting ,

Increased costs & time burden I suppose. I paid for that image analysis. A few cents perhaps, but that’s at least something at scale.

Vivendi ,

They are using these as unpaid human labor to train the generator model. It’s a cheap way to annoy users and hop on the dick of the latest ShitAii trend, so any manager with even a whiff of capitalism in their blood is jumping on it.

ICastFist ,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

Pretty much this. Google’s captchas some years ago were all about pointing out road related things, like semaphores, other cars, buses, etc, because self driving AI was just around the corner.

hCaptcha, the one in this image, is literally using us to train/refine art prompts. I’ve had a number that asked me to choose the pictures that showed a “whatever”, with the 9 images for clicking being obviously AI genned. Sometimes, it accepts 2 rights and 1 wrong.

pkmkdz ,

Right? The captchas are getting ridiculous to the point that solving them means you’re not human. Because human would get fed up with this shit and leave

LillyPip OP ,

I got fed up with this shit and left. That should prove I’m human.

Imgonnatrythis , in Winning & losing

Checkmate.

Would also accept team captain of the high school esports league.
