The Agentic Access Problem: When AI Becomes Its Own Administrator

Episode notes

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. Join the Conversation If your AI agent requested administrator access right now, would you know whether it actually needed it?
