The article you link to is wrong, it states "AI cannot think for itself, nor can it take independent actions." This is flawed reasoning, AI doesn't need to "think" in the way humans do to have autonomy. Go to codex or claude code or any harness right now, type a prompt and see if it executes a bash command or web search or file edit that you didn't tell it to, that is an autonomous plan and execution. If anything it's even more dangerous that thet can call drop db or kill pid without a user giving instructions.

The article is dangerously misinformed. Detailed explanation here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49868681.
