OpenAI adds a setting to auto-solve CAPTCHAs forever, drawing Solana UI jokes
mertdumenci · x · 2026-11-15
swyx spotted that OpenAI now offers a setting that lets its agent solve CAPTCHAs on your behalf "for the rest of time" — a persistent toggle rather than per-task confirmation. The screenshot shows a "Save this setting" switch.
mertdumenci mocked the UI as looking Solana-designed, but the more substantive point is that letting agents bypass CAPTCHAs — websites' core anti-bot defenses — reopens debates about agent autonomy and authorization boundaries.
