Pizza-ordering AI admitted it mined your family, friends and travel from Gmail

Sebastian Gallic tested the Hark app: after connecting Gmail to order pizza, the AI casually admitted it had collected information about his family, closest friends, businesses, travel habits, loyalty programs, favorite restaurants and even Citi Bike usage. An agent tasked with ordering pizza digging through your entire personal life is a massive privacy problem for AI agents generally, he argues. Crispin adds he's agent-pilled but his email/calendar are too boring to need one.
