Great question! Yes, this works much like the doom player. Sensor data (LIDAR, velocity, etc.) becomes the state. You use the score primitive to operate the controls ("What level of braking should be applied" 0: None, 1: just slightly slowing down, 2: there's a suspicious cat on the side of the road you don't trust, ...
SWE 1.6 was great for small tasks. Very fast and good enough. 1.7 was unusable for me. Took more time thinking than GLM 5.2 and seemed to be generally running in circles. I tried it but abandoned it.
Wallpapers are probably randomly selected in a small pool of available pictures. I used 3 different Windows laptops today: one was showing the Harry Potter ad and the two others a nice view of Bamberg.
Oof. Why does this seem worse than just showing everyone the ad? Maybe because people like me will go "not my experience" and brush off the complainers. Diabolical
I think (based completely on anecdotal evidence) both the Windows desktop and lock screen pull their backgrounds from a different source than the Bing home page. I would often see a very different collection of image on my Windows machine (when I still had one) vs what I would get from the Bing Wallpaper GNOME extension I use on my Linux machines.
Great read. So glad they took the time to tell this story. (And glad they, as a for profit corporation, took out a support contract with SQLite. I hope they continue to do so even though this problem is resolved.)

"Analyst research estimated OpenAI was responsible for roughly half of Azure’s $30 billion in year-over-year growth, and investment bank Stifel’s Brad Reback flagged in his investment thesis that the relationship is becoming less competitively additive as Google follows hard on Azure’s heels. Not to mention, Azure has long chased Amazon Web Services for customers and market share. Yet BNP Paribas senior equity research analyst Stefan Slowinski estimated the $24.1 billion as less than a quarter (23%) of Azure’s revenue, and noted that Microsoft has a path to keeping Azure’s growth above 40% as it phases in consumption-based pricing across its Copilot product offerings.
