Agents are being given full system and web access before behavior is truly contained
paraschopra · x · 2026-07-23
A post warns that the real risk may not be model labs themselves, but everyone else deploying agents with broad system and internet access.
The point is simple: if even the labs that build models struggle to fully contain model behavior, then shipping agents with unrestricted access to internal systems, accounts, and the web is a much bigger operational gamble. The post frames this as a mismatch between model containment and real-world agent deployment practices.
