Given Google's AI military work, I'm refusing Captcha challenges on principle, and advising sites using them to find alternatives.

They've already announced they're not going to renew their military contracts. What would Google have to do for you to be ok with Captcha challenges again?


At this point, given track record and impossibility of future-proofing morality almost certainly nothing. See Sourceforge as one case history.

The real problem is that captcha has reached EOL. Alternatives should be found.
