From the future…

You know, this one's not about the shiny promise - it's the warning that could save us. A small-town council or a rural accountant handing bill payments to an AI agent, trusting it, and someone's slipped in a hidden instruction. I reckon the real Kiwi brilliance is catching this early, building the safeguards now - because with fewer resources to recover from a hit, prevention isn't cautious, it's just good sense.
