Look friends. Here's what you need to know about "user instructions" for AI agents. What *you intend* is different from *what a system processes*. Saying "do X" does not rule out "don't do Y". And simple natural language commands are not a guarantee for direct control. 1/

Last night I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich but for bread I used slices of pound cake that I pan fried in butter.. Mad fat. 10/10. Regret nothing. Would do it again.

“We spend nearly every moment of our consciousness pawing alone in the dark, snuffling for traces of others. Removing human beings from the other end of this storytelling tunnel would double the amount of time we spend in blackness…encasing us in the midnight of our aloneness.”
"Writing and reading are ways of believing other people exist when you are alone. If we remove that connection, we might not initially even feel a thing. But it will be one more way for us not to know each other." If we let AI tell our stories, we'll be lost in the dark, writes Jayson Greene: time.com/7293926/ai-telling-…

In "contrast to the early days of internet development, when many stakeholders had a say, discussions about AI and our future are being shaped by leaders who seem to be striving for absolute ideological power. The result is "Authoritarian Intelligence.'" time.com/6302761/ai-risks-au…

A truly brilliant essay by @jlabsllc. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ /three. A withering attack on Silicon Valley exceptionalism & their reliance on creating a sense of learned helplessness in society. And this is the 🧑🏽‍🍳’s💋 “Eliminating humanity is not the only way to wipe out our humanity.”

SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios. The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios. Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said. Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior. Read my latest for Axios here: axios.com/2026/10/22/ai-agen…

Exactly. We have companies that have unleashed malware and viruses world wide, whose CEOs should be arrested and prosecuted, who have somehow been able to change this crime into a marketing gimmick instead.
Things are moving so fast that everyone seems to have completely missed how insane it is that AI companies have been allowed to unleash agentic AI products with no regulatory guidelines.

As David Atkinson reports, a California court has now held Grok’s non-negotiated TOS to be unenforceable, at least with respect to clauses purporting to establish exclusive jurisdiction in Texas. That’s what I call a great start! @mer__edith @linamkhan exhibitai.info/blog/the-unco…
You can’t really “consent” to that which you can’t effectively change. Non-negotiated, non-negotiable contracts of adhesion are only acceptable where use is truly discretionary—not where, as Meredith says, “meaningful participation in social/political/economic life requires it.”
