and you know, you already know, we're going to go the opposite direction of this warning, as fast as possible, and we'll even look for weird new ways to do it
That's quite scary to think of. At the same time it’s quite fascinating how AI was released on the world and it’s rewriting basic rules and processes. Thanks for sharing, very thought provoking.🩷🦩
With the amount of services and protocols and money people are putting into this, I’m pretty sure we will all be using it sooner or later, whether we know it or not.
Transparency will be a real test for these services.
Thanks for another excellent and terrifying post. Hopefully, BigTech will get their act in order and start to sort out some of these glaringly obvious loopholes in their security systems. Otherwise, potentially users might vote with their feet if it's not too late already.
love it. there are a lot of trust issues agentic paradigm brings up, maybe the solutions could be found in blockchain. would be great to see what people come up with.
it would be interesting to see if there are any projects on the horizon. definitely solvable. i bet as models get faster and more light weight, we can use edge and distributed devices
that was my take away. if you deep dive, McKinsey is super into Agents. i believe part of this will be used to enhance their usual “downsize” strategy, and add “go agentic” so it’s not entirely selfless.
Absolutely. I’m actuating a second section on my Substack called deep dive where I go into the details on a technical level. Your right, confused deputy, a classic!
This is where I anticipate the most real world attacks to exploit. We know HITL works, and it adds a layer of attribution. But companies want full autonomy. This is why we are seeing new frameworks as well.
I agree with the sentiment, but wonder if the industry will be thoughtful enough to implement. Well, before the incidents happen. I could see this long term, after we’ve learned some lessons…

+1!
Haha. How true is that ?

Yes! The speed is something we don’t discuss often enough. Unleashed is indeed the right word here!
The speed is actually crazy!
Interesting read! As always!
Thanks Erich!
Ruh oh. Um, this just sounds so bad! Could we see a scenario where this will actually be the only choice though (and if so, what do we do about it?!).

How do we protect ourselves if this is THE choice? It just seems like a game of Russian roulette, only every chamber has a bullet 🤯
Tissue Paper Locks sounds like the name of a band. lol
🤘🤘🤘
Great post as always
🙏 Appreciate it friend.

I feel like I’ve been too heavy on the terrifying part 😂. Next few articles are going to be lighter.
I just think these are important! Thank you!!
Infiltrate. Divide. Conquer. The nation-states of tech are taking form. We are not green across the board.
I have a post in the works on how nations states are weaponizing :) great observation.
Great read! The principle of least privilege is absolutely essential here.
Yes! Great call out. Least privilege for the agents!
Thanks for the shoutout!
and btw I love your diagrams
Thank you my friend! 🙏

We are so going to need blockchain.
Agents built on the chain should be able to resist attacks via trust.

Yes, yes, I think if gas fees can be solved (I hope at least that’s the prevailing problem) then we can work on something.
I’m sure they’re folks who would be excited to solve this 😅

Yes yes.
This got me: “McKinsey says $5 trillion will flow through AI agents by 2030.”
Does this mean that fintechs have to pivot to building out agents?
What does this look like?
I guess the core APIs will remain in use but interfaces change?
that was my take away. if you deep dive, McKinsey is super into Agents. i believe part of this will be used to enhance their usual “downsize” strategy, and add “go agentic” so it’s not entirely selfless.

Yeah that could be great. It aligns with the new release of the Owasp 10 for agents. I think we will see many real world scenarios based on this.
