This is an article that is now over twenty years old.

And yet posting it seems like a worthwhile refresher for the "Agentic Age" .... because very basic principles are being thrown overboard.

One is: There has to be a clear separation between code that controls actions on your computer, and untrusted data.

Looking at agentic systems - what do you see?

Education has gone a long way to improving user response and caution against default trust of unverified contact

If that were true, nobody would run agentic tools.

perform actions on your computer, thus are executing programs
operate on untrusted data -cannot, by principle, safely discern between commands and untrusted data
