'''Decreased security.''' Agents especially. If you use a large language model, realize that anything the "agent" can do on your behalf, anybody else can also tell it to do, just by giving it input. (So, if an agent reads your e-mail, anybody sending you an e-mail can tell it what to do. If you have the agent read a web page, or a paper, or evaluate a potential hire...) Companies that use agents may be easier to hack. If you give them your data, it may be more likely to fall into unauthorized hands. | '''Decreased security.''' Agents especially.

===EULA of despair=== | |||
