ngl, this thing is really a bit scary... If the self-executing AI agent isn't managed properly, our app will be as fragile as paper

ngl Autonomous AI agents are indeed a bit scary, and the Signal Foundation daring to speak out is considered conscientious. Traditional security models really need to be upgraded.
