The fully autonomous agentic ecosystem makes me feel a little crazy — like all common sense has escaped. It feels like there is a lot of engineering effort being exhausted to harden the engine room on the Titanic against flooding. It's going to look really secure... buried in debris at the bottom of the ocean.
When a state sponsored threat actor discovers a zero day prompt injection attack, it will not matter how isolated your *Claw is, because like any other assistant, they are only useful when they have access to your life. The access is the glaring threat surface that cannot be remediated — not the software or the server it's running on.
This is the computing equivalent of practicing free love in the late 80's without a condom. It looks really fun from a distance and it's probably really fun in the moment, but y'all are out of your minds.
Free love was the 60's and 70's followed by the sex, drugs and rock n' roll 80's. Once AIDS and drug addiction hit, the party was over.
I think your analogy is still accurate, I'm just wondering when the AIDS, the drug overdoses and addiction phase of AI will finally hit.
Well, at least we share the same world as these people, meaning that we too will experience the consequences of their actions.
Isn't that a nice perspective
Eh… Titanic did flood in the engine rooms so… might work?
That humor aside: I think it’s about risk tolerance, and you configure accordingly.
You lock it down as much as you need to still do the things you want, and look for good outcomes, and shut it down if things get too risky.
You practice free love, but with protection. Probably still fun?
Big difference between running a bot with fairly narrow scopes inside a network available via secure chat that compounds its usefulness over time, and granting full admin with all your logins and a bank account. Lots of usefulness in the middle.
