That kind of blanket demand doesn't persuade anyone and doesn't solve any problem.

Even if you get people to sit and press a button every time the agent wants to do anything, you're not getting the actual alertness and rigor that would prevent disasters. You're getting a bored, inattentive person who could be doing something more valuable than micromanaging Claude.

Managing capabilities for agents is an interesting problem. Working on that seems more fun and valuable than sitting around pressing "OK" whenever the clanker wants to take actions that are harmless in a vast majority of cases.





I don't mean to sound like I'm demanding this. I'm saying you will get better outcomes if you choose to do this as a developer.

You're right it's an interesting problem that seems fun to work on. Hopefully we'll get better harnesses. For now I'm checking everything.
