Permission Fatigue Vs Permission Machine?
2.0BRAINROT SCOREPERMISSION FATIGUE— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE
Permission Fatigue Predicted framing for the exhaustion of constantly approving an agent's individual tool-use or action requests, distinct from older verification or notification fatigue because the requester is an agent asking to act on your behalf, not a platform asking you to prove who you are.
EXAMPLE USAGE
"By the tenth "approve this tool call?" prompt of the morning, permission fatigue had already won."
PERMISSION MACHINE— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE
Permission Machine Predicted framing for any system — an OS, a platform, a device — that now acts as the judge of whether you are allowed to do something you own or paid for, rather than a passive tool.
EXAMPLE USAGE
"It's not my device anymore, it's a permission machine that happens to sit in my pocket."
