This is just like the comments suggesting we need sensors and signs specifically for self-driving cars for them to work. It'll never happen, so companies need to deal with the reality we have.
We can build tons of infrastructure for cars that didn't exist before but can't for other things anymore? Seems like society is just becoming lethargic.

I was concerned there might be sensitive info leaked in the browserbase video at 0:58 as it shows a string of characters in the browser history: nricy.jd t.fxrape oruy,ap. majro 3 groups of 8 characters, space separated followed by 5 for a total of 32 characters. Seemed like text from a password generator or maybe an API key? Maybe accidentally pasted into the URL bar at one point and preserved in browser history? I…
Is this as impressive as it initially seems though? A Bing search for the text shows up some Web results for Dvorak to QWERTY conversion, I think because the word ‘t.fxrape’ (keyboard) hits. So there’s a lot of good luck happening there.

I also found it interesting that despite me suggesting it might be a password generator or API key, ChatGPT doesn't appear to have given that much consideration.
Many years ago I was sitting at a red light on a secondary road, where the primary cross road was idle. It seemed like you could solve this using a computer vision camera system that watched the primary road and when it was idle, would expedite the secondary road's green light. This was long before computer vision was mature enough to do anything like that and I found out that instead, there are magnetic systems that…
It’s funny that you used traffic signals as an example of overcomplicating a problem with AI because there turns out to be a YC funded startup making AI powered traffic lights: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/roundabout-technologie...

I can enter a word, but I cannot interpret the feedback (green, yellow, gray letters) to solve the puzzle.
So I guess it’s browsing in grey scale?

I just have to say that I consider this an absolutely hilarious outcome. For many years, I focused on tech solutions that eliminated the need for a human to be in front of a computer doing tedious manual operations. For a wide range of activities, I proposed we focus on "turning everything in the world into database objects" so that computers could operate on them with minimal human effort. I spent significant effort…
all the pieces are there, though I suspect the first to implement this will be scammers and spear phishers.

Ironically now that computer vision is commonplace, the cameras you talk about have become increasingly popular over the years because the magnetic systems do not do a very good job of detecting cyclists and the cameras double as a congestion monitoring tool for city staff.

Yeah I think it would be better to just have the model write out playwright scripts than the way it's doing it right now (or at least first navigate manually and then based on that, write a playwright typescript script for future tests). Cuz right now it's way too slow... perform an action, then read the results, then wait for the next tool call, etc.
Exactly this. I’ve spent some time last week at a 50 something people web agency helping them setup QA process where agents explore the paths and based on those passes write automated scripts that humans verify and put into testing flow.
Really feels like computer use models may be vertical agent killers once they get good enough. Many knowledge work domains boil down to: use a web app, send an email. (e.g. recruiting, sales outreach)
