They embed for a reason… And the captchas wouldn’t exist if they weren’t embedded anywhere

No, you’re wrong, the Traffic Light examples ARE specifically to gather data to train models.
No you’re wrong, because the sites that embed those captchas on their page are not doing that to help good.
If people just wanted a good captcha they wouldn’t need hundreds of millions of photos of street lights and bicycles.
Yes, they are getting something productive out of the human labor that would be done anyways. Trust me as a web developer, and web scraper, some kind of captcha is necessary for many free services to be useful/economically viable. The core of a good captcha is just making it marginally more expensive for the scraper/bot than it is for you.
That’s why companies like Oxylabs exist
Aren’t these Captchas designed to get training data for AI models anyway?
Yes and no, the captchas are just meant to be hard for computers to solve but easier for humans. People saw that, and thought that “if we’re making people do this might as well have them do something useful” not meant to be malevolent- and the purpose is still stopping bots, training them is a side-effect.
Just means they’ll get harder, but maybe not for people, just needs to be harder for a computer
Depends on the case, sometimes its unavoidable.
No I meant, what was the grant process? As in, just applying for it, or selected for it?
Did you just apply for it?
Not rare, they’ve been trying to block encryption for a while unfortunately
nah I don’t have that negotiating power
Employees do not share in the profits so should not have to bear ANY of the risks. (No, the fact they have a job at all is NOT sharing in the profit).
How is it not? In small businesses wages are often more than the dividends. As in, employees get paid first, ask any small business owner about that.
Cost of recruitment is just cost of doing business. (There is no cost if you don’t have to recruit).
Yes. But it means you’re not wanting to fire people randomly most of the time.
Making employees disposable just means the employer has no exposure there, while the employee has it all.
It doesn’t make employees disposable, see above. People quit far more often than they’re fired.
But like I said, I’m not even talking about this from the perspective of the employer, but instead from the employee. Money is more replaceable than time, and it is not ethical to trap someone in a situation that makes them hate their life for a month.
I was basically the only employee in Europe, the other employee had his visa revoked because of the companies incompetence they didn’t file his paperwork properly.
Czech Republic, and not a big enough company to have a glassdoor
And the freedom at-will employment gives you is overshadowed by the freedom it gives companies to have employees bear the risk, while hoarding all the profits.
Both parties bear the risk. It’s hard and expensive for companies to replace most people in developed economies. Have you ever been fired with no notice? Because my understanding is workers quit a lot more often than they get fired(or at least that’s what I’ve done).
I’ll leave it at that, and if you spout corporate propaganda that has been ingrained into you from birth… I’ll call it like it is.
My beliefs are based on a consistent set of ethics. Stop insulting me.
It was a job that required traveling, was trying to refuse paying overtime for travel time. Because I was constantly traveling I couldn’t see my friends, family, or partner. Was unpredictable mandatory overtime.
But I already quit months ago.
And yes, I’m sure some of that was illegal on their part. But there wasn’t much I could do.
Then don’t blame the Republican governor xd. That’s my point.
Yeah, let’s make all regulations up based on exceptions and edgecases.
When it comes to people’s freedoms, yes.
If something happens and you need space, most EU countries have leave for that
Assuming you’ve earned/haven’t used it.
Again, strange corpo way of trying to normalize not having proper contracts and labor protections. You have bought in to the propaganda too much.
Not a corpo. Stop with the ad hominems.
Probably anti union too, no?
Some unions do good things, some do bad.
It depends on the job. And you’re not always guaranteed severance.
It’s a lot more impactful for the worker if they’re trapped in a terrible situation making them miserable. Or if they have to go somewhere else
A month is easily survivable
Depends on the job/employer.
Furthermore it’s more important when things come up. Say you need to go take care of a relative in an emergency.
Yes like I said, the challenges were picked to be useful. But some form of challenge would’ve been chosen regardless.
