OpenAI is on a treadmill. It has vast amounts of investor billions pouring into it and needs to show results. Meanwhile, open source AI is snapping at its heels in every direction. If it is true that it is holding back on AI agents out of caution, I'm pretty sure that won't last long.

It honestly feels like computer technology was intentionally designed to be full of security holes.
Beyond obviously malicious stuff like this, if people are going to have AI autonomously purchase things, I wonder if we might see stuff like ads designed not to influence human purchasing decisions, but to make someone's AI assistant think that a given product is a better match for what it was asked to buy than it really is
Great point, people can think of so many ways to manipulate these agents.
They're just as prone as anything else software-based to attacks. They will absolutely be compromised.
The sooner people wake up to hype words about this, the sooner we can all move on from another bubble.
FYI: Siri isn't giving me robot handjobs right now, and that was supposed to be possible 10y ago. Wake the fuck up.
