well, at least they are honest about it and don't try to hide it in any way. They probably want to gather more real world data for training and validation, that's why this limited release. openai have browser agent for some time already but I didn't hear about any security considerations. I bet they have the same issues

Seems more likely they’re trying to cover their own ass, so when anything inevitably goes wrong they can point and say “see, we told you it was dangerous, not our fault”.

Honesty would be Anthropic paying the 1000 alpha testers a fair wage for their very dangerous QA work.
