didn't see anyone actually going into production with any of this stuff, man, this hype cycle just continues.

#12At the end of the day, the fundamental dynamic here is human creativity. We are taking a tool, the LLM, and stretching it to its limit. That’s great, but that doesn’t mean we are close to AGI. It means we are AGI.

#13This is such a idiotic hype-cycle, they just fine-tuned a model over vision API. I really don't understand why everyone is loosing their mind over this

#15On one hand, it has really helped me with prototyping incredibly fast.
On the other, it is prohibitively expensive today. Essentially you pay per click, in some cases per keystroke. I tried to get it to find a flight for me. So it opened the browser, navigated to Google Flights, entered the origin, destination etc. etc. By the time it saw a price, there had already been more than a dozen LLM calls. And then it crashed due to a rate limit issue. By the time I got a list of flight recommendations it was already $5.
But I think this is intended to be an early demo of what will be possible in the future. And they were very explicit that it's a beta: all of this feedback above will help them make it better. Very quickly it will get more efficient, less expensive, more reliable.
So overall I'm optimistic to see where this goes. There are SO many applications for this once it's working really well.

#171) I tried using it for QA for my SaaS but agent failed multiple times to fill out a simple form, ending with it saying the task was successfully completed.
2) It couldn’t scrape contact information from a website where the details weren’t even that hidden.
3) I also tried sending a message on Discord, but it refused, saying it couldn’t do so on someone else's behalf.
I mean, I’m excited for what the future holds, but right now, it’s not even in beta.

#18I wonder why leveraging accessibility tools for this wouldn't have been a better option. Browsers and operating systems both have pretty comprehensive tooling for accessibility tools like screen readers, and the whole point of those tools is to act as a middle man to programmatically interpret and interact with what's on screen.

We had one that was a simple download from here and login and upload there. Having the accounting team be able to automate that versus devops is huge.
