As far as I can tell, the code on GitHub (https://github.com/vicariousinc/science_rcn) only works for the MNIST dataset.

Unclear how to run on the CAPTCHA examples referenced in the paper, even though they did make the datasets for those examples available.

Bummer, a big part of what the paper mentions about being so great with this RCN model is being able to segment sequences of characters (of indeterminate length even!). Sad that I cannot easily verify this for myself!

We talked about releasing more comprehensive proof of concept code, but ultimately decided against it. While helpful for other researchers, offering anyone on the internet a ready-to-use arbitrary captcha breaker seemed like a net-negative for society.

Like people can't find captcha breakers already. Your research might push for the replacement of text captchas with some other test.
