Can we expropriate them all and democratically organize these important companies?
Readit NewsWhat do you propose as an alternative?
No captchas
And if the website contains erotic content (like YouTube), they are supposed to lock you and verify your ID. This is why all erotic content is getting filtered on X.
In the UK maybe
There is nothing preventing this from becoming an issue. The current internet order is coasting on inertia.
Why is it an issue that non-humans visit your site?
This will be one of the big fights of the next couple years. On what terms can an Agent morally and legally claim to be a user?
As a user I want the agent to be my full proxy. As a website operator I don’t want a mob of bots draining my resources.
Perhaps a good analogy is Mint and the bank account scraping they had to do in the 2010s, because no bank offered APIs with scoped permissions. Lots of customers complained, and after Plaid made it big business, eventually they relented and built the scalable solution.
The technical solution here is probably some combination of offering MCP endpoints for your actions, and some direct blob store access for static content. (Maybe even figuring out how to bill content loading to the consumer so agents foot the bill.)
Just end CAPTCHAs, just stop it. Stop.

Because they offer $200 worth of value?
Price and value are far from the same thing

Calling ChatGPT a "chat bot" in 2025 isn't technically incorrect but it is like calling a male human assistant a "chat guy".
It costs $200 because the chatty little bot knows a surprising number of things amazingly well, and does decent work pretty darn fast.
It's trained on or collective data, it should be owned collectively. Wasn't ChatGPT a non-profit once?
>didn't realize Italy was like that
Italy doesn't really care about copyright violations, unless it's soccer or if it's for profit.
Normal people pirating movies, songs, etc. for their private use are not usually prosecuted (there's no need to use protections such as VPNs in Italy). There are some big piracy communities, they use both torrents and an old file-sharing software called eMule.
But if you try to earn money or if you pirate soccer, then it's super risky.
Nobody cares about copyright unless for profit. Sometimes it's just a lawyer that wants fees

Could be the Israeli army, considering the graphene logo may be a nod to the Star of David.

8 million people to smoking. 4 million to obesity. 2.6 million to alcohol. 2.5 million to healthcare. 1.2 million to cars.
Hell even coconuts kill 150 people per year.
It is tragic that people have lost their mind or their life to AI, and it should be prevented. But those using this as an argument to ban AI have lost touch with reality. If anything, AI may help us reduce preventable deaths. Even a 1% improvement would save hundreds of thousands of lives every year.
