I wonder how long it will take for someone to integrate this with Google recaptcha...

Using Google Vision API to break Google Recaptcha? Interesting...

They may already had the foresight to train what their Recaptcha looks like.

sort of how the old captcha helped digitize books, people entering recaptchas is free tagging to train vision's net.

Which is why the data from ReCaptcha and NoCaptcha should be public domain – it was created by society, it should be usable by society.

If the data was public the black hats would use the ReCaptcha and NoCaptcha data to defeat *Captcha and we'd be back to Square 1.

The black hats have far easier way to use it.

But this data shouldn’t belong to a corporation.

It’s inacceptable that Google has the ability to use this dataset, their market monopoly in this online market, as competitive advantage in the self-driving car market.

Btw, black hats have no demand at all for captcha-solving solutions by training captcha solvers – instead, hiring people from Bangladesh is far cheaper and faster.

Isn't recaptcha just a checkbox now?

yes, but the fallback is a more traditional, image tagging captcha. see https://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2014/12/are-you-ro...
