Prediction text
Baby AGI agents will need and develop an 'immune system' for prompt injection and cybersecurity threats in real time. | I I think it's a dangerous world out there for these baby AGIs. I I think it it's a minor travesty at minimum that that they're subject without really an immune system. They're being forced to develop an immune system in real time to injection attacks.

I I think it's a dangerous world out there for these baby AGIs. I I think it it's a minor travesty at minimum that that they're subject without really an immune system. They're being forced to develop an immune system in real time to injection attacks.
