> I think insecure/dangerous Claw-agents could be useful but cannot be made safe
Isn't it a question of when they will be "safe enough"? Many people already have human personal assistants, who have access to many sensitive details of their personal lives. The risk-reward is deemed worth it for some, despite the non-zero chance that a person with that access will make mistakes or become malicious.
It seems very similar to the point when automated driving becomes safe enough to replace most human drivers. The risks of AI taking over are different than the risks of humans remaining in control, but at some point I think most will judge the AI risks to have a better tradeoff.
A personal assistant is responsible for their own gross negligence and malicious actions. I can take them to court to attempt to recover damages.
When Anthropic is willing enough to stand behind their agents strongly enough to accept liability for their actions, we can talk.
