In this episode I cover how AI access and permissions have changed since ChatGPT launched back in 2022, from zero connections and basically zero worry to the current YOLO approach of vibe coders and early adopters. I share what I currently give Claude access to, what my biggest concern is, and offer a read/write/act framework that you can use to decide what your AI should touch.

Main Topics Covered

• How AI access sentiment has changed over 4 years
• 2022: ChatGPT with zero connections
• 2023: Bard connects to Gmail, Docs, Drive, Maps
• MCP and the "AI in my email" era
• Agentic AI, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork
• What I currently give Claude access to
• Prompt injection: my biggest concern
• Read/write/act framework
• Privacy, client data, and benefit vs. risk
• How I used AI this week: Claude-Descript connector and pulling quotes from transcripts
