    On a Lark, I asked Codex to find silhouettes for all car models so I could make a fun drag coefficient website for all cars.

    It found a website that had all of them but had no interest in making them available. So it went ahead and started hacking CAPTCHAs and downloading them. I was pretty flabbergasted that it would do this, but also kind of amazed. Eventually I stopped it because I realized I didn't want to be caught stealing these things.

    This was around April, the same time as these hacks.
