According to their own blog post, even after mitigations, the model still has an 11% attack success rate. There's still no way I would feel comfortable giving this access to my main browser. I'm glad they're sticking to a very limited rollout for now. (Sidenote, why is this page so broken? Almost everything is hidden.)

11% success rate for what is effectively a spear-phishing attempt isn't that terrible and tbh it'll be easier to train Claude not to get tricked than it is to train eg my parents.

What ! 1 in 10 successfully phished is ok ? 1 in 10 page views. That has to approach 100% success rate over a week say month of browsing the web with targeted ads and/or link farms to get the page click

This is where rates hide the issue.

One in ten cases that take hours on a phone talking to a person with detailed background info and spoofed things is one issue. One in ten people that see a random message on social media is another.

Like 1 in 10 traders on the street might try and overcharge me is different from 1 in 10 pngs I see can drain my account.
