This isn't meant to be a daily driver. I'd like the option to build systems that occasionally run filesystem agent loops on an ad-hoc basis, for any user. A browser is a really good platform for that.
- repstosb 8mo agoSo are Cygwin and WSL, though, for those who don't already have the luxury of being on Linux or UNIX (incl. MacOS). I'm sure there are uses for running full-system emulators inside a browser, but access to bash and sed and gawk doesn't seem like one of them. Seriously, if that's the best way to get access to good text manipulation tools, why aren't you ditching your entire OS?
- simonw 8mo agoBecause bash and sed and suchlike turn out to be the most useful tools for unlocking the abilities of AI agents to do interesting things - more so than previous attempts like MCP.
