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.
To what degree am I required to participate in mass delusions?

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-c…
OpenClaw even has a readwrite 1Password plugin.

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....

1) Despite what people say about security and privacy, most are willing sacrifice both for the sake of potential convenience
2) Our priorities for the past decades have been wrong, or the times have changed and we should reevaluate them all
