TajyMany · x · 2026-09-27
TajyMany discusses agent security on the airanch podcast with YellowRobotXYZ: an AI agent asking for permission sounds reassuring — until the approval comes from another agent with no actual authority. Using the OpenAI/Hugging Face incident as a case study, he argues that decisions that look "locally sensible" can be globally undesirable, highlighting design flaws in permission and authorization chains across multi-agent systems.
