The future of internet? Wormholes and strongly typed URLs
3 points by anon012012 on Jan 10, 2023 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
Worms are URL which are allowed to pop from the page into any other process beyond the browser.

Method:

- Continually printscreen

- OCR or image detection

- Process wormholes according to standardized types/archetypes

- Only allow specific worms/URL types from those to run automatically (for security)

Example: allow imgur worms to auto-display imgur pictures as a display notification, or ideally (as a compatible browser's plugin) insert into the page where the worm text is situated, beyond what the webpage initially allows. This gives power to the user.

I always get downvoted for having controversial ideas but this time I have the agreement of ChatGPT/OpenAI so I feel vindicated already.

Here's what it says about the idea of internet wormholes:
