Seems like the README is heavily vibed, as it seems to not even understand what the repo does:

> Local AI & LLM Ready: By reducing complex pixel streams into structured logical strings, ASCILINE acts as a perfect bridge for AI. Instead of feeding heavy computer vision models, lightweight LLMs can process semantic video summaries.

In what way is this semantic/structured?

> Bypassing Browser Constraints: Modern browsers aggressively throttle autoplay videos, and ad-blockers restrict traditional media frames. To the browser, ASCILINE is simply "JavaScript updating a canvas"—completely invisible to media restrictions.

So... just render the video to a canvas? What does ASCII have to do with it
