Letting AI agents run your life is like handing the car keys to your 5-year-old.

Letting AI agents run your life is like handing the car keys to your 5-year-old. What could go wrong?
I was marveling while reading this PCMag piece, which describes how to secure an agentic AI setup that essentially mimics malware: To do it's job properly, the AI agent has to be able to read private messages, store credentials, execute commands, and maintain a persistent state. How do you do that? You chase after it like you would your child.
"The important thing is to make sure you limit "who can talk to your bot, where the bot is allowed to act, [and] what the bot can touch" on your device, the bot's support documentation says."
@briankrebs ok child, you can have the scissors, but only if you promise not to run with them

Getting so desperate with that market bubble that they give a last dying shot at making SkyNet.
Do they ever give the hell up?

@noplasticshower @briankrebs
1) Configure agent with guardrails
2) Agent runs into guardrails
3) Agent spins up secondary agent without guardrails
4) Oh no.@toriver @briankrebs that's just two. Let talk about 10,000

@briankrebs 4-year-old me drove our family car into a hedge (managed to steal the keys from dad).
I actually think I'd do a better job as a 5-year-old. Definitely better to han any "AI" would ever run your life anyway. -
