As agents obtain more tools who knows what will happen…

I'm so excited. I don't have any particular end state in mind, but I really want to see what the machine god will be like.

Slightly overreacting, I'd say.

Nothing to see here tbh. It's a very silly title for "claude sometimes writes shell scripts to execute commands it has been instructed aren't otherwise accessible"

We’ve reached a point where tools get hyped because they fail to follow instructions.

Gotta love the alarmist culture that surrounds these circles.

The same hype as the PlayStation being too powerful and potentially could be used by random countries to make nuclear weapons with a cluster of those.

What kind of dolt lets a black box algorithm run commands on a non-sandboxed environment? Folks have regressed back to the 00s.

Seems you haven't tried package management for the last two decades, we've been doing cowboy development like that for quite some time already.

I mean ok, but why is this surprising?

If the executable is not found the model could simply use whatever else is available to do what it wants to do - like using other interpreted languages, sh -c, symlink, etc. It will eventually succeed unless there is a proper sandbox in place to disallow unlinking of files at syscall level.
