I have yet to read into the actual announcement, but I would bet dollars to donuts that the check is really "run the plan through another LLM whose system prompt is prefixed with 'you are great at safety checks'".
What could go wrong on a planetary scale. FFS, going to be agentic battle royale everywhere.
I remember when Chrome got released in very early beta, it was a breath of fresh air. Clearly, these are different times but I kinda hope that Ladybird (https://ladybird.org/) will become a worthy newcomer to the browser scene soon.
You summed it up perfectly for the time. It was such a relief, there wasn't anything like it. And now we're here.
What could _possibly_ go wrong?
> Google built a double-check safety system that independently reviews the AI’s actions before executing them, with strict boundaries limiting the agent’s access to specific relevant websites and explicit user confirmation required for sensitive actions such as purchases or social media posts.
Like how they double check Workspace accounts, auto-logging them out periodically and returning the user to the login screen saying "prove it's you!", with both the login name and password fields pre-populated? _That_ kind of double-check?
Hasn't Windows' "do you really want to run this .exe file?" dialog long-since taught the world that confirmation fatigue is more a vulnerability than security mechanism?
