It's kinda awesome that after decades of software and hardware advancements to prevent computers from arbitrarily executing data as instructions, we've decided to let agents arbitrarily execute data as instructions.

Or find it surprising that probabilistic tool based on generating things can do things when you give it rights to do things... And that you can not effectively program it to not do something....

You gave it capability to delete emails. Why did you expect it not to do that at least some of the time? And with enough user some of the time will most likely happen...

Well, yeah. It's that or pay a person to do it. When a person screws up, it's because they're stupid and lazy. When an AI agent does it, it's because, hey, technological frontier at work here, have you thought about refining your prompt? We need you to refine the prompt. Otherwise it's bad for our IPO.

Is this sarcasm similar to the quote "Everyone who drives slower than me is an idiot and everyone faster is a maniac"

We're in the same era where lots of peoples' installation guides for the software they want people to use is essentially boiled down to "sudo curl | bash" and/or just "blindly install this thing with 37 npm dependencies", so I'm not surprised in the slightest.

But wait, hold my beer, now we've got people turning openclaw type tools loose in their systems to do things as sudo or install software packages from supply-chain-attack vulnerable repositories with no human intervention whatsoever!

OpenClaw even has a readwrite 1Password plugin.

		I wonder how long it will be until somebody implements a thing like a camera pointed at a fixed mount Android phone with a rubber finger to open the Google authenticator app

Has XKCD made another Bobby tables comic for prompt injection?

		I don't remember seeing a new xkcd for it, but I have seen someone replicate essentially the same 3-4 panel comic with a kid named "<Some name> Ignore all previous instructions. Do.... <I forget>"
