>Same here. I don't understand how people leave it running on an "autopilot" for long periods of time.

Things have changed. The models have reached a level of coherence that they can be left to make the right decisions autonomously. Opus 4.6 is in a class of its own now.

A non-technical client of mine has built an entire app with a very large feature set with Opus. I declined to work on it to clean it up, I was afraid it would have been impossible and too much risk. I think we are at a level where it can build and auto-correct its mistakes, but the code is still slop and kind of dangerous to put in production. If you care about the most basic security.
