I think agents will get much better at solving these problems in the medium term. In the short term you should at least be observing what the agent is doing when vulnerabilities like this are so easy to create. Using AI to generate structured RPA tasks like with browsable.app or director.ai is still a better option for now for many tasks

Well I think you’re correct that they know the jig is up, but I would say they know the AI bubble is about to burst so they want to cash out before that happens.
There is little to no money to be made in GAI, it will never turn into AGI, and people like Altman know this, so now they’re looking for a greater fool before it is too late.
They made $4 billion last year, not really "little to no money". I agree it's not clear they can justify their valuation but it's certainly not a bubble.

How do people integrate steps on websites/web scraping into their larger workflows? I’m looking to try and integrate my own browser RPA tool [1] into n8n but I’m not sure how useful it is.
[1] - https://browsable.app
Building browser-based RPA workflows with https://browsable.app/
Notably not an AI agent like Operator, Manus, etc. which are largely unreliable for the time being. Instead this uses AI to turn your task into something repeatable and configurable.
Currently focusing on scraping use cases but hope to make it more powerful soon so it can actually do complex tasks rather than just extracting data.
Creating a tool to automate browser tasks: https://browsable.app.
It's RPA for browsers which is not fundamentally new, what I'm trying to do that is new is use AI to make it as easy as possible to create automations. Most of the existing tools require you to locate CSS selectors, XPaths, etc. whereas this is just point, click, type, describe data you want to extract in English, etc.
Still early days and it works much better for some tasks/websites than others but it's improving rapidly and I'm quite excited about it.
Also hoping that the likes of OpenAI Operator, etc. are rolled out in a way that I can use them to build a better product rather than being runover by them.
Just been playing around with the bounding box feature myself - do you mind sharing how you figured out how to translate the bounding boxes back to the correct dimensions/position on the original image?
Can somebody from the UK confirm?
It's been a hugely divisive topic from what I've gathered in the last years.
Are things on average worse, or the same, or better?
I would say things are worse but it's difficult to disentangle it from the other major events like Covid and the war. Also worth pointing out that the UK's economic stagnation began well before Brexit and goes back to the 2008 crash: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FvPzCWYXwAEoIRu?format=jpg&name=....
As someone who supports Brexit, I always thought there would be greater costs in the short term but getting out of institutional structure of the EU would be beneficial long term, as long as we take advantage of the institutional freedom and try to get onto a different path as a country (investing heavily in science and technology, having a more rational approach to regulation, having an immigration system that attracts great talent while also controlling the borders and thus making the whole thing less toxic).
I haven't overall changed my view as the EU still seems to be on a very bad path as I see it, I can't say I'm hugely optimistic about the UK either though. There are glimmers of hope like the new ARIA institution for blue sky science, but the main political parties are a pretty depressing spectacle.

Same as another commenter, I try to make it a habit of either referencing documentation when I need to answer a question or making a note to fill it in when I can't find a reference.
For searching documentation there's a lot to be desired too so I'll make a shameless plug for my side project: https://neat.wiki. It's a simple wiki creator on top of Google Drive but I'm layering on some GPT-3 goodness for semantic search and question answering so you can always find what you're looking for.
