    I dunno. It sounds like a somewhat feasible thing that could be kinda useful if done right. It just doesn’t actually exist which is the problem here. It doesn’t sound too crazy which is why people bought this thing. The part I struggle with conceptually is that LAM would essentially weaponize bots - the same thing all these stupid captchas are meant to stop. Also it would drive users away from websites and therefore away from ads. This would be all out war and the money (I. E. Websites with ad revenue) would ultimately win unfortunately.

      I agree that it’s logical to do.

      And here we are now with Microsoft’s rewind thing. And rumors about Apple giving Siri the ability to see your screen visually.

      It actually seems inevitable. But Rabbit was spinning tales.
