How would that even work when the web is basically one big black box to the OS? Most of the stuff that matters to most consumers is on the web now anyway. I don't see how 'capabilities' would even work within the context of a user-agent LLM

You'd have to rewrite most of the software used in modern life. Most of it is conceptually not built with a capability security model in mind. Instead of providing the LLM with access to your banking app, you need a new banking app that is built to provide access to your account and only your account, and additionally also offers a bunch of new controls like being able to set a budget for an operation and restrict the set of allowable payees to an allowlist. Instead of the app being "Log into Wells Fargo and send a payment with Zelle", the app becomes "Pay my babysitter no more than $200", and then the LLM is allowed to access that as part of its overall task scheduling.

This is a major reason why capability security has failed in the marketplace.
