      @feld @tapaniraja

      I wonder if there's a case for some kind of public trust running it?

      Using the same kind of funding model that a public broadcaster might have?

      @switchingsocial @tapaniraja I found a project a while ago run by the US govt to crowdsource digital archiving of stuff and it was literally the perfect project to use for a Captcha. We could be converting old government documents and stuff with a captcha system and the public gains value from the service.

      @feld @tapaniraja

      That's pretty much what Google's recaptcha did originally, it helped convert old books into text with each captcha doing one word.

      Then they decided to change it to train their driving/drone AI instead :/

      @switchingsocial @tapaniraja but that was purely to make it possible to full text search books.google.com and drive traffic to Google, making them money. Oh, and trying to get you to buy the books.

      We need to contact people running these projects and help them contribute data to a captcha service
