Claude's answer to the most dangerous daily AI habit: handing over permissions

Alex Verem shared a Claude (Opus 5.5 High) conversation asking what the most dangerous thing people do with AI daily is. Claude's answer: saying yes — connecting AI to your inbox, installing free skills from strangers, clicking allow for agents. Each step hands over a key rarely taken back. An agent with inbox/files/account access can be hijacked by a single hidden line in a web page or document (prompt injection) and act with all your permissions. The real risk isn't AI being too smart but too obedient; the safest habit is giving only needed access and revoking it after.
