> It's insane to me that people don't see that agents are going to be how you interact with your computer going forward, almost exclusively

You are in a bubble. Normal people (i.e. 99% of people) will not use these agentic tools:

* Some, probably most, won't use them because they don't trust them

* Agentic tool providers can't possibly supply everyone with their own free agentic tooling

* The vast majority of people will not pay providers what it will cost to run these agentic tools (or even anything)

* The vast majority of people cannot afford to buy their own hardware to run their own agentic tools in-house

* Agentic tooling is mostly useless for most people (who cares that it can check you into flights, most people don't have that kind of problem)

If that's true, why bother blocking the tools? Either they are useful in saving money (and more important, hassle), or they're not. If they're not useful, the problem simply won't materialize.
