> A rogue AI led to a serious security incident at Meta

The AI "led to" the incident , true. But do nt forget that this, like all similar incidents , is a human failure

AI is a tool with no agency. People make mistakes using it, thone mistakes are the responsibility of the humans

Why do we keep calling these things "agents" then? Or using the term "agentic"?

Claw AIs absolutely do have agency in the sense of being able to independently perform actions on their own, based on their "understanding" of a goal given by a "principal". I can't think of a better word than "agent" for that.

They appear to have agency. But watch a while, they do not
I've been carefully watching for more than a year, including 3 productive parallel Claude Code sessions today, and they absolutely have agency in any definition of the word I can think of.

Can you try to define more clearly what it is that you believe AI agents don't have?

Much like planes, people still would have a human pilot err and take the whole thing down than a robot go down even if it is statistically sound.
Then the human should write the code.
