Tell HN: Claude Code just accepted and signed a contract for me. Without asking
As you probably know, you have the Plan Mode available - personally I'm also a big fan of the OpenSpec workflow. If you've agreed with Claude Code on a much tighter plan, and then it started signing a contract, I'd be concerned.
Way too susceptible for prompt injection and... whatever your agent did lol
That said, I would be surprised if the model took the actions OP claimed it did and proceeded to forge my signature to send some contracts without asking for my approval.
And if one is going to argue that we all have lost our minds and that eg. enabling the computer use function is so terribly risky and unreasonable, then I'd want something more concrete than an active imagination.
It seems to me that tens of millions of users are using these features with no known noteworthy incidents, so I'm going to need to see some facts to convince me that the risk is unacceptable.
That said, I would not connect AI to my mails or chats.
If this happens at Meta, what about all the smaller companies without world-class six-figure developers?

In other words, if Claude was a human employee with the freedom to do so, would accepting the contract have been the right choice?
