I don’t understand the author’s complaint - are the AI agents forcibly installing themselves on your computer? Are they shipping these agents without settings to change permission seeking behavior? This is just a rant about something you absolutely don’t have to do
Windows is heading in that direction.
It's really a question of whether you want a deterministic machine or a probabilistic one. Depends on the use case, really.
GenZ; publishes every possible detail on TikTok.
In 20 years we've done a cultural 180 on privacy.
I bet in 20 years Gen5 (three generations from now?) will be fine with AI agents running their lives.
Meanwhile I'll be 80 and still not on social media, just message boards like HN. Using new frequent accounts and changing my wirting style to defeat stylometrics (sorry dang).
I do, it's called embracing the future - Either get with it or get out of the game. If you aren't giving your AI untethered sudo access then honestly its more of a reflection on you and your inability to accept change in the workplace.
It's even worse: it's a sign of insecurity and the lack of the ability to just trust and let go of control. Often related to malignant narcissism. I recommend SSRIs and inpatient therapy. You should probably give up custody of your children, too, unless you want them to grow up with the same weaknesses.
You should really just give up all of your freedom. Refusal to give up your freedom is a sign of insecurity and the lack of the ability to just trust and let go of control.
2004 me and my friends: "I don't want all my public information online." GenZ; publishes every possible detail on TikTok. In 20 years we've done a cultural 180 on privacy.

the results of that has only proved you were right. I'll go on record now that the people who don't want corporate controlled AI in their personal lives today are also going to be proven right when the next generation of suckers comes along and gives up what they had because a corporation told them too.
What about buying a dedicated machine for running agents? One macbook for agents and one for personal/private work plus a good KVM switch maybe or remote desktop.

It's not perfect, as container escape is not entirely unlikely.
I am working in a future version where all agents run inside firecracker VMs, log all actions logged externally.
With Kubernetes it's like having a bunch of virtual employees making git commits, firing up name-spaced ephemeral resources and collaborating like "remote" employees. It's certainly fun, but I haven't quite polished it to the point where I recommend this architecture to anyone.
