Headline: Google reinvents testing automation tool, now with AI
i guess it’s just puppeteer + ai prompting
unless AI gets significantly better in the next year or so I doubt it’s gonna be any better than someone spending an hour writing a puppeteer scraping script
Me: “Hey, Google. Use my computer to play Deadlock for me.”
Prefect. It can click buttons and complete tasks.
No sir, I did not accept your terms and conditions, my browser did.
so a legal botnet then
Chrome has been for years, so this is only a worse problem for end users.
Can’t wait till AI can just learn and utilize my consciousness on my behalf. That way I don’t need to exist.
Didn’t windows also start tracking how you use windows?
I bought it so I could use it though. The ai can buy it’s own computer to use!
Companies are stealing your computer’s resources (hard disk space, CPU time) to build their own Skynet and charging you for the privilege.
Corpornet
If enabled, this could secretly start purchasing random things with your credit card, pretty much just stealing your money. We can’t trust a voice assistant with this, why trust AI?
Google doesn’t have the leverage to get it into your OS against your wishes. They can’t even make me have their apps (search, assistant) on their Android.
WELL DON’T JINX IT
god everything except linux is going to run like shit in 10 yrs
I’m scared from the possibility of linux going the same way… we tend to think it can be simply forked and continued on, but it’s a software too complex for some smaller group to maintain.
It runs like shit today. Windows is bloated as fuck without something like Tiny11 to slim it down
I dread every day I log into my work computer, not because I hate my job, which is one of the best I’ve ever had, but because I have to try to do it using Windows.
You and me. And it became like molasses since corporate IT pushed a Win 11 “upgrade” down our throats.
At least you aren’t having to manage your windows install. I feel for corporate IT departments having to figure out how to disable so much and still keep the OS running.
they dont lol, they just let it be slow
Silver lining is that this may be the end of captchas
Nope, still need that training data to sell to self-driving car tech.
Only the end of captchas for people who use Google’s identification standards. With device IDs and accounts they already usher many users past Captcha and I think the more who do that, the worse captchas can get for us who don’t
“After all, a lot of sensitive data can be accessed via the web browser — including emails, work files, and even banking details — so Google must place a safeguard around Project Jarvis and its future developments to ensure that it doesn’t unnecessarily access your private information.”
Narrator: They did NOT place any safeguards around the project.
Does anyone still larp stupid corpo PR?
They are literally been caught lie after lie after lie…
Deny the parasite profit.
Lol so what happens if all your online stuff is automated?
That means no mare ads.
Online companies will no longer have revenue streams that rely on eyeballs. Probably another subscription service…
