Dots: Always-on agents

I have not tried it yet but this looks as risky as openclaw, which I also won't use. What if it does something I would not have approved and I only found out about it later? Knowing how often agents go off the rails when I'm coding, I would hesitate to let one do other tasks. I would prefer to white list tasks one at a time as I gained trust.

I spend literally all my work day, and a good bit of my personal time, talking to agents, getting them to do things on my behalf. Almost always pretty tightly sandboxed. I just don't understand how people using these things haven't had catastrophic failures yet.

I minted what I thought was a minimal-permission Github token for a single action, and the agent I gave it to discovered it had more permissions than I thought, and made use of those permissions. Who is trusting these things with write access to their lives?

I hear that Dots don't count towards usage, is that true?

I love stuffing eldritch horror inside a teddie bear plushie. So perfectly a caricature of modern tech-dystopianism.

God I want the fucking market to crash

So essentially, another attempt at giving codex to regular people.

At some point a designer is going to come up with a visualization for an agent that isn't "amorphous character blob".

Lolz https://dot.com goes to xAI's GrokBot (the competition)

I heard they use GPT Space (like Notion) together with Slack and use it like a human colleague, but watching the actual demo video, the speed is so slow it's shocking..

Holy crap that is some expensive food in the demo video. These people are truly disconnected from reality.

Muse and now Dot's emergence in popularity makes me think Apple's "lil Finder" will be their take on it.

The 3D print in 0:06 is failing LOL

Most predictable announcement ever. I would prefer if they just removed scheduled tasks limits instead, at least in Work mode. Just use my usage for crying out loud.

Meta's weird keychain ai thing and now this, both going for that cute vibe so we forget how scummy these companies and their owners are.

I'll take always-off agents please.

It's great to see that my personal assistant can stop working and maybe report me to the police if the company disagrees with what I'm doing!
