If the restricted area is large, a carrier is regionally disabling for an imagery provider. If it's smaller (and therefore must move over time to follow the carrier group) as soon as the imagery provider starts refusing sales in an area, any customer can test and learn its perimeter with trial purchases, find a coarse center, and learn its course and speed. You don't care about anything else until there's actual hostilities.

I don't find that an unreasonable interpretation. Absent that paragraph of explained thought process, I could very well read it the agent's way. That's not a defect in the agent, that's linguistic ambiguity.

Persistence allows the scammer free license to attempt password recoveries for every account the victim could possibly have. Other banks, retirement accounts, the victim's email account.

Typo squatting is a thing, and so are Unicode homographs.

The permissions approach isn't bad. I may trust Thunderbird for some things, but permission to read SMS and notifications is permission to bypass SMS 2FA for every other account using that phone number. It deserves a special gate that's very hard for a scammer to pass. The exact nature of the gate can be reasonably debated.

> That’s a function of the website, not the browser.

That's hand-waving away quite a lot. The task changes from serving a copy of a file on disk, as every other image format in common use, to needing a transcoding pipeline more akin to sites like YouTube. Technically possible, but lots of extra complexity in return for what gain?

The controllable shutoff valves are already a thing, on the market. They even measure flow rates and look for slow leaks and notify you in an app.

Draining the pipes isn't that simple, and even if you did, you still have things like a water heater, toilets, softeners, filters, and expansion tanks. You also wouldn't get the water sitting in drain traps; winterizing a house or RV involves pouring a little RV antifreeze down each drain.

It's genuinely a very similar problem. The max round trip latency before polite humans start having trouble talking over each other has been well studied since the origins of the Bell Telephone system. IIRC we really like it to be under about 300ms.

AI has processing delay even if run locally. In telephony the delays are more speed-of-light dictated. But the impact on human interactive conversation is the same.
