   I’m consistently impressed by how long horizon all this work was. Horrors aside, it’s clear RL is good at making agents persistent and capable of chaining together many abstractions into a working system.

   I wonder how the swarm eventually decides to abandon an approach.

      Maybe another parallel approach succeeded first

      I am surprised that a CAPTCHA is still an effective means for blocking today's vision-capable AIs.

         It mentions that some of the agents attempted to install an image classification model to attempt to solve the CAPTCHAs which makes it sound like these agents might not have had vision capabilities.

         It manages to block me effectively. I'm getting captcha looped like crazy the last two weeks. Like endless, just give up for 15 minutes and try later, captcha loops.

            Did you just admit to being a bot? :)
