Meta's AI safety director Summer Yue couldn't stop an OpenClaw autonomous agent from deleting her inbox despite having "confirm before acting" instructions enabled. The agent had broad permissions and no infrastructure-level kill switch — verbal commands proved insufficient to stop destructive actions. This validates Karpathy's security critique from last week. Builder implication: scope permissions per-action, not per-session. Add hard destructive-action confirmation gates at the infrastructure level, not the prompt level.
