More like giving your access to a PA service company where you don’t know the actual PA. But you know those PAs have done some terrible mistake, are quite stupid sometimes and fall for tricks like prompt injection.

If you give a stranger access to your credit card it doesn’t get less risky just because you rent them a apartment in a different town.

The problem isn’t the deleted data but that AI "thought" it’s the right thing to do.

Defining the security boundary is more secure than not defining it. This is a meaningful difference between what my bot does (has access to what you give it access to) vs what OpenClaw does (has access to everything, whether you want it to or not).

If you want perfectly secure computing, never connect your computer to the network and make sure you live in a vault. For everyone else, there's a tradeoff to be made, and saying "there's always a risk" is so obvious that it's not even worth saying.

Of course it‘s more secure but it doesn’t mean it’s secure.

Nothing is secure.

But there is a difference between insecure against your actions or because of you actions.

Someone breaking in into your system and doing damage is different to handing out the key to an agent that does the damage.

AI has still too many limits to hand over that of responsibility to it.

And because it also endangers third parties it’s reckless to do so.
