1. Presumably you want to trust your agent to do no shady sheningans behind your back when you give it a simple task 2. Sometimes it just doesn't work.
https://osworld-v2-monitor.xlang.ai/task/tasks/068
Does this look like an efficient way to solve the task to you? 500 steps of fiddling with a JS injection, followed by hacking the task.
The funniest part is that it needs to achieve a score of 100, but puts 150 "just in case". I don't think I want it to take the same approach when e.g. fixing a customer's balance.
OSWorld (even the old ones, v1 and verified) runs the model in a full linux VM. And using the terminal is allowed. The models are given tools that provide a subset of possible UI actions. They then use them to open the terminal and script their way to solutions.
Even when this is prohibited, models hack their way around restrictions. Like in OSWorld v2 Claude Opus 4.8 inserts some JS in the browser search bar to execute it instead of playing the Chrome dinosaur.
WebArena is better in that regard because it doesn't allow to use the terminal. But it's worse in another regard: only allows limited actions and the tasks are only such that an agent can win by using a few pre-defined actions (click, scroll, new tab, etc). Which is a tiny subset of what real browser use is, in my opinion.
But I don't think RPA is the way. Or at least, not in the current state. I think AI agents with proper computer use are what RPA should be. Usual RPA is too brittle and maintaining it often requires more work than just doing the work
I was most excited about the "frontier tuning." Like, it will actually watch you do stuff and learn to do it for you? That would be actually interesting.
But no, it's just a data labelling interface: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/copilot/copi.... You have to provide the instruction and give feedback and there is a whole UI with hour-lonf wait between steps. So basically they want you to do the labelling to train a model, or at least that's how it looks from the outside
Also the mission statement of Humanist AI is the most boring, but tries to sound way too grand. Like "all the cool labs have a mission statement, so we should also have one" vibes
Try playing fruit ninja via text and llm toolcalls though
Yeah, maybe on the surface chatbots turned out to be chatbots. But you have to be a poor journalist to stop your investigation of the issue at that and conclude AI is no big deal. Nuance, anyone?
What I read is that guy did a clever DDoS, which is mildly impressive, and decided to become a twitter celebrity/NK assassination victim. I am no hacker, but I expect real hackers to be laughing their asses off.
