So far, less impressive. Hope it gets better.

Nope, it only works in Chrome.

Honestly, Claude Code Yolo Mode with MCP Playwright and MCP Google Chrome Debug is already sudo on my system + Full Access to my Gmail and Google Workspace.

Also it can do 2 Factor Auth in its own.

Nothing bad ever happened. (+ Dropbox Backup + Time Machine + my whole home folder is git versioned and github backuped)

First it felt revolutionary until I realised I am propably just a few months to one year ahead of the curve.

AIs are so much better as desktop sysadmins, routine code and automating tasks, the idea that we users keep fulfilling this role into the future is laughable

AI Computer Use is inevitable. And already here (see my setup) just not wildly distributed.

Self driving cars are already here (see Waymo, not the Swasticar), computer use super easy in comparison.

Oh by the way, whenever Claude Code does something in my online banking, I still want to sign it myself. (But my stripe account I dont ever look at it any more, Claude Code does a much much better job there than I am interested in doing.)

Which MCPs do you use for banking? I was thinking to try Playwright so it can test apps more easily. So far I've restrained claude to unbouded CLI; browsers have been a real barrier. I used a janky solution where it would write a nodejs script to run puppeteer (headless chrome) and take screenshots. Not the way to go. I need it to be able to access the browser better.

How does it do 2 factor auth? You mean through your email?
franze 2 days ago||
no, like authenticator (email would also work), github needed 2 factor auth so it just grabbed the add to authenticator QR and installed a CLI authenticator program. but also yeah, it can also do the email option

So the reason other methods don't do this is because AI agents are actually impossible to block prompt injection attacks. Are you not worried as these attacks become more common your AI now has access to basically all of your credentials and would happily hand them over if asked right?

Can we please stop and ask ourselves "is this a good idea?"?

Giving everyone the ability to bot, even literally grandma, with an "agent" that might hallucinate and fill your cc details into the wrong page. What could go wrong?

And before someone replies with the tiresome "well we might as well do it before someone else does", think about that argument for _two_ seconds. Should you push someone off a bridge just because someone else might do it if you don't?

Claude needs to drop the required login to use their platform. I get it if you want to use their premium models, but just yesterday I tried to use their LLM. It prompted me a couple of times to log in and I dropped off immediately and went back to ChatGPT. Just a dumb decision in my eyes

Seems like a good decision if they are trying to avoid consumers and focus on professional users who are more likely to create an account and pay. Especially if they are constrained on compute.

I was curious and using a watch I found it took me 25 seconds to sign up and setup an account. You probably spent more time trying to work around this and typing this comment than it would have taken to setup your account.

You are using a free service, and think the provider cannot ask for a simple login.

Anonymity is fine to ask for, but you are not paying for something and you are getting value...

I tried your approach with a contractor working on my kitchen - ask her if she will do all the work for free - nope. so dumb
neodymiumphish 3 days ago||
Well the other contractor (ChatGPT) will happily do it for free. From a comparison perspective, his complaint is valid.

ChatGPT without a login is basically a 5 minute free trial with no integration with any other system besides web search.

You get bumped down to a way worse experience almost immediately and the login nags are so strong that logged-out use is almost certainly going away in the near future.

It’s like the contractor that comes over for free but mainly does so to find every possible problem in your house that they might be able to charge you for.

If I got a contractor now that offered it for free there is exactly 0.00006% chance I would take it (job is $40k-ish). nothing is free :)

No it isn't. At least not on my devices. Try opening gemini.google.com in an incognito window.
