we are building data breach machines and nobody cares

vadelfe: The Belmont analogy is great, but the deeper point is even scarier: most of the industry is giving non-deterministic systems direct access to deterministic infrastructure (databases, shells, email, etc).Historically we spent decades reducing automation privileges and adding layers of verification. Agents seem to be reversing that trend almost overnight.

m3047: Goes to a lot of trouble to build a mental model / map / landscape of how agentic ops work. Worth the read if you're looking for one, reasonable people know the map is never the terrain.

idiotsecant: You know how in video games literally everything is super easy to hack?Turns out all those games were just very forward-thinking.

GolfPopper: 30 years ago, playing cyberpunk tabletop RPGs, my friends and I would laugh with each other at how silly the idea of major corporations hooking vital computer systems up to the internet would be.
