My thesis is this: the most immediate risk from agents is not artificial intelligence with human intentions. It is automation with too much capability, too much data at hand, and too much freedom to improvise a path toward a goal. And I would add a contrarian point.

For users, the immediate step is simple: check whether they have allowed their conversations and files to be used for training, and avoid uploading sensitive material unless it is essential.
