Story has a happy ending of sorts, but should serve as a cautionary tale.

    the kid gave anthropic bad instructions

    LOL and you know this how?

    This is like an idiot pointing a gun at something he didn’t want destroyed

    No, this is more like pointing a gun downrange and then the gun fires itself and the bullet decides to do a U-turn and shoots the user.

      Not really.

      If you have the agent installed, it’s like having your gun assembled.

      If you have your agent enabled, it’s like having your gun loaded.

      If you give your agent permissions, it’s like taking your gun off safety.

      If you don’t have your agent properly sandboxed, it’s like having bad muzzle control.

      And if your agent is actively running, it’s like having your finger on the trigger.

      This breaks every weapon safety rule. That’s how you get a negligent discharge.

      Hence, it’s like scratching your back with a loaded weapon.
