Oddbean new post about login | logout AI taking over operating systems and browsers... What a great idea to bypass encryption. https://www.techspot.com/news/105322-google-working-ai-agent-takes-over-browser.html
Isn't claude already doing that?
Claude needs specific authorizations to access and perform these tasks on a computer, apparently.
Why?
I believe it's necessary to obtain permission to avoid an outright violation of privacy.
Oh I see what you mean. Yeah it makes sense, because claude would be acting on the desktop context (entire computer), so you would at least need to give him access to the screen and the inputs (mouse +key) In the (chrome) browser they already own your ass xD At least the browser context But anyway, imo they are pretty similar in how they work and what they do
