@ericmigi Wow this would be great as a backup for the phone key if your phone dies. Then maybe I wouldn't need to carry the card key as backup.

[James @Darpinian]

@liminalsunset_ Also, not trying to build this just for myself. I'm thinking about what it would take to package it as a service for nontechnical people who don't own a desktop and maybe not even a laptop.

[James @Darpinian]

Who is going to make the Napster of AI agents? These restrictions are BS and we need someone to stand up and start circumventing them.

[Andrew Curran @AndrewCurran_]

All personal AI assistants have been banned from United Airlines systems, and from booking flights.

[James @Darpinian]

@liminalsunset_ Yeah my goal here is not to build a service to bypass IP bans by rotating IPs constantly. I just want to enable my agents to do anything I would do on a computer. If traffic comes from my IP I can still get IP banned for spamming and that's fine, not trying to circumvent that.

[James @Darpinian]

@liminalsunset_ The difference is you wouldn't be running through random people's IPs probably without their consent. You'd be running through yours only. Nothing wrong with that.

[James @Darpinian]

Oh interesting, I hadn't considered that there's already a market for this basically for doing social media fraud. This would be a more noble use...

Having the full device locally is kind of expensive. Maybe the way to go would be to have a tiny cheap device to proxy traffic from a cloud Android instance to your home network. If you wrap it all up with nice integrations for all the agents (with a harness that somehow convinces them to bypass captchas etc without complaining) then you could maybe sell it as a service for like $10/mo. There must be some people who would pay that to make their agents more effective.

@SheriefFYI Nah go straight for the remake. N64 OoT is my favorite game of all time, and I haven't played the remake, but everything I've seen about it makes me think it's far superior in almost every way.

[James @Darpinian]

@liminalsunset_ I think there's room for a hardware startup to sell a headless mini computer for this purpose, not to run the model locally but just a browser and apps, with a focus on fooling AI detection. Maybe a $99 Android device or something like that.

[James @Darpinian]

@liminalsunset_ And to be really complete you'll have to emulate humanlike mouse movements and key timing either in the model or the harness.

[James @Darpinian]

This is the *real* test of AI alignment. Is the AI aligned with them, or with me?

[James @Darpinian]

Anyone else have this toy when they were a kid and not know what it was?

[James @Darpinian]

@aaiden35928 @SciFiArchives this was one of my favorite toys as a kid but I had no idea what it was

[James @Darpinian]

@Lib_Development @corsaren yeah even though I'm not that worried about x-risk I have to agree

[James @Darpinian]

@vedantnair__ It's close! Certainly it will be ready next year.

[James @Darpinian]

@vedantnair__ We need to see more miles before the accident rate can be reliably determined. But the many documented holes in the geofences and weird routes caused by e.g. refusing to cross railroads suggest that things aren't entirely ready.

@mrdoob GTA 6 took 13 years. GTA 7 will take 2 years. And it won't be made by Rockstar.

[James @Darpinian]

@justalexoki such a mystery

@rob_mcrobberson this is your sign to get a new doctor
