I get what you are saying but any reasonable entity would understand that telling someone at the door “come in”, does not mean “come in my wife’s ass”
Specifically the “without permission” in the title, relates to the fact the AI did not ask about it… it simply took a previously granted right to run commands and ran any/all commands without warning.
If you and I were working on a project together and nothing is working right, I could say “hmm let’s start over” and you would know it means “let’s start the project from scratch”, not “let’s wipe the data centre”
Inviting an agentic AI isn’t really asking them to do one task, though.
It’s more like offering a plumber a room in your house to stay in 24/7 so they can be on-call when you need them. And telling them they can use your food, dishes, clothes, and living room while they’re there and you’re at work.
Which makes it much less surprising when they get bored and bone your wife.
No, not at all
