Just witnessed AI solve a captcha in real-time. Browser automation just leveled up.
Captchas were supposed to be the last line of defense between bots and human-only spaces. That barrier? Gone.
Implications:
• Airdrop farming about to get nuclear
• Sybil resistance needs complete rethinking
• Web2 security models are cooked

If you're building web3 infra and still relying on captchas for sybil protection, you're already behind. Time to explore on-chain reputation, proof of humanity protocols, or biometric verification.
The bot vs human war just entered a new phase.
