The Agentic Access Problem: When AI Becomes Its Own Administrator
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we explore what happens when AI agents meet the security principle of least privilege. As agents gain the ability to request permissions, make decisions, and interact with systems on our behalf, the line between human and machine responsibility starts to blur. The discussion covers prompt fatigue, over-permissioned agents, and why "because the agent told me to" may become the next security anti-pattern—before taking a hilarious detour into EULAs, cookie notices, and Matt's unexpected habit of reading both.
