In their words

The transcript segments this claim was taken from

“just like one kind of trivial example and auto mode sort of looks at that and be like oh no the user did not give you permission to you know write to the database or to use computer used to like um emit a task right and so this odd like probes are sort of like on the intent level right they're like oh okay like hacking artifactory is bad like we probably not should not do that you know but then like auto mode is more on like your own permission level like”
“like sometimes you do want it to write to the database sometimes you don't right and you don't want a probe to like interfere there but like you need to make sure that the the intent of what the agent is doing matches up with your request right and so automode operates at that level and so yeah security is just like very very complex there's so many different parts to it and like yeah i like i hope that this is like like i my goal is really to just get very technical about it Yeah, and talk about”
