Andres4NY@social.ridetrans.it 3 days ago@irmadlad @lambalicious I just manually do the audio captcha. Every time. Because the picture captchas often don't work correctly for me.
It does bug me a little that I don't know what the audio captcha is being used for - am I helping an amazon echo transcribe whatever it is surreptitiously listening to?

I’ve always wondered where the hell they scrape all that audio from. I mean, it’s random shit.

Gotta be physicists or fanfic writers. I can not imagine other better options.

idk…Some of the stuff I’ve heard sounds like they eavesdropped in on a board room roundtable. Other stuff sounds like instructions how to install something. They probably are siphoning data off YT.
