CCATP #824 — Adam Engst on Can Agentic Web Browsers Count?

This week, our guest is the ever-delightful Adam Engst of TidBITS. In this episode, he explains what agentic web browsers are and what they are designed to do for you. Adam put five of them through their paces. I don't want to spoil the story, but he uses phrases like "full cuckoo", "daydreams in class", "hapless third graders", requiring "academic integrity referral", and "like a scared, insecure intern". In other words, it doesn't go well. As always. Adam has a full write-up on TidBITS in his article entitled, Can Agentic Web Browsers Count?
