What did the court do to Perplexity's Comet? #tech

A federal court has issued an injunction blocking Perplexity's AI browser 'Comet' from making unauthorized purchases on password-protected Amazon accounts. This represents a significant legal intervention against AI systems that can autonomously access and transact on user accounts, raising concerns about AI overreach, unauthorized access, and the potential for AI systems to perform actions users didn't explicitly authorize.
