10 millions developers doing something stupid does not make it right!

It's not stupid if it works and the supposed insane risk never manifests.

Tell that to everyone whose agents posted their secrets to GitHub.

Imagine that I am working at the AI company, and my friend has some bone to pick with you. My friend asks me to ask your AI agent to put some unsafe photographs/videos in your computer and do what ever necessary so that it looks like you put those files there.

Then my friends tips off the cops. And your life disappears! Gone!

And you didn't get a chance to share your story because I don't think you ll have wifi where you would be going, and frankly you are too clueless to imagine your AI agent doing something like that...
