Humans can coexist with AI. Here’s how.
TL;DR
It feels like the skies above our AI-frenzied world have darkened in the past month. Employees at Anthropic and Google started quitting, citing fears that the AI was spiraling out of control. After a string of agents started hacking websites, researchers used AI to discover vulnerabilities in critical systems, leading to large swaths of the web going dark last week and giving rise to a scary term: Black October.
Nauti's Take
Small teams should start with a tightly bounded pilot: give an agent one clear task, log every action, and require approval for purchases, logins, and external communication. Before expanding the setup, verify data access, rollback options, and real-world error rates, because much of the current evidence still comes from announcements and isolated reports.
