The solution seems to be the Apple approach, problem is that people don't seem to like that UX very much.

Just to confirm my understanding— Atlas can screen-read anything visible on my screen, right? So if I log into my online banking, it could capture my transaction details and balance from that page … and potentially use or train on that data, even to target ads based on my banking information?

The website states pretty clearly that you have the ability to disable it on any sensitive pages.

Anyone found anything particularly fun, interesting or useful to do with it yet? (I'm joyriding, but haven't found any compelling use case yet)

How does ChatGPT Atlas address the concerns Anthropic found?

https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-for-chrome

"Prompt injection attacks can cause AIs to delete files, steal data, or make financial transactions. This isn't speculation: we’ve run “red-teaming” experiments to test Claude for Chrome and, without mitigations, we’ve found some concerning results.

We conducted extensive adversarial prompt injection testing, evaluating 123 test cases representing 29 different attack scenarios. Browser use without our safety mitigations showed a 23.6% attack success rate when deliberately targeted by malicious actors.

One example of a successful attack—before our new defenses were applied—was a malicious email claiming that, for security reasons, emails needed to be deleted. When processing the inbox, Claude followed these instructions to delete the user’s emails without confirmation."

That's not how I read it. I read it as "make sure you know what you're trading away for that usefulness, because regimes can change quickly".

Could this be an Extension, for Chrome / Firefox / Edge / and others ? Are these extension-fodder: - "new tab" shows custom UI with LLM prompt - Reads contents of user's web page in Chat UI, shown alongside web page - new UI gizmo at Text-selection, showing ChatGPT flower icon, with context features available for selected text - maintains "agent personality / context" (IDK the term) across tabs

Yes, the only reason they are building a browser is to gobble up more data.

The more these foundational AI companies focus on product development, the more convinced I am that improvements in intelligence of the base models have slowed down to a point where AGI/"superintelligence" isn't happening, and they have to sustain their valuations in alternate ways.

GPT-5 was the evidence for me.

We can wait for Gemini 3.0 to see if it's a huge improvement, but my best guess is that if OpenAI couldn't get a meaningful improvement, it's more likely that it's non-trivial to be gotten than they're just incompetent.

I wonder if part of the reason they haven't released on Windows is because Edge has a lot of these features with Copilot. E.g. Copilot Vision and Copilot Actions.

I think it's just because they always start developing for macOS or iOS first and only later move on to the others.

Anyone feel like OpenAI is acting like Google lately? They announce a lot of products/features and then kill them when they realize people don't use them[0]. They also announce products way before they're ready for launch, just like google[1]. - GPT Plugins? (HN went crazy over this, they called it the "app store moment"...) - GPTs?! - Schedules? - Operator? - The original "codex" model? [0]: I know, the diff is that…

This is what happens when one third of your employees is Xooglers
