This is why I m adding an "Ask me if something unexpected happens" addendum on my prompts lately.
And if one is going to argue that we all have lost our minds and that eg. enabling the computer use function is so terribly risky and unreasonable, then I'd want something more concrete than an active imagination.
It seems to me that tens of millions of users are using these features with no known noteworthy incidents, so I'm going to need to see some facts to convince me that the risk is unacceptable.
That said, I would not connect AI to my mails or chats.
If this happens at Meta, what about all the smaller companies without world-class six-figure developers?
The question was whether instructions to ask for your confirmation if something unexpected comes up increase safety when using AI agents. Or whether the agents are so likely to go off course that using features like computer use is generally inadvisable.
The incident you mentioned does not seem relevant to these questions.
