Interesting, it looks like @cursor_ai offer a feature like this too now (I thought they were editor only, didn't know they had a browser story) Maybe if they marketed this as an "asynchronous coding agent" people like me would have an easier time understanding what it does!

You still need to have Cursor installed and running on a machine for that to work though, right? Jules and Codex run on their own infrastructure, all you need is a web browser

If anyone is unlucky enough to let their model train on my collection of SVGs of pelicans riding bicycles they're going to get some VERY weird looking pelicans riding bicycles

Multimodal AI Risks: Vision Models and Safety Concerns
By

"The marginal risks of open models have been shown to not be as extreme as many people thought (at least for text only — multimodal is far riskier)." What makes multimodal riskier – assuming you mean vision is it concerns over surveillance, facial recognition etc?
