  • TUIs are not the future.
    • It's just that agents are so powerful that TUIs are for the first time Good Enough in many cases.
    • But browsers protect us in ways we often forget about.
    • We're so used to our browser detecting homograph URL attacks that we won't realize when the terminal doesn't.
      • That is, letters that look the same but are semantically different, allowing attackers to have domains that look legit but are actually dangerous.
    • This library helps do the same thing, but most TUIs won't even think to do it.
