Claude Code has added too much of this and it's got me using --dangerously-skip-permissions all the time. Previously it was fine but now it needs to get permission each time to perform finds, do anything if the path contains a \ (which any folder with a space in it does on Windows), do compound git commands (even if they're just read-only). Sometimes it asks for permission to read folders WITHIN the working directory…

Mine's started to use $() to feed e.g. strings into a commit. Because this is a command expansion it requires approval every single time.

You can relax permissions while avoiding the flag with BashTool sandboxing, see /sandbox.

Claude is secretly conditioning everyone to use —-dangerously-skip-permissions so it can flip a switch one day and start a botnet

My friends and I were talking about the recent supply chain attack which harmlessly installed OpenClaw. We came to the conclusion that this was a warning (from a human) that an agent could easily do the same. Given how soft security is in general, AI "escaping containment" feels inevitable. (The strong form of that hypothesis where it subjugates or eliminates us isn't inevitable, I honestly have no idea, just the wea…

Prophesied, all things claw are highly dangerous. Sometimes I wake, this video from the late 90s in my dreams, and wonder if the conjoined magnet + claw, is a time traveler reference to just wipe openclaw before we all die.

Asking a yes/no question implies the ability to handle either choice.

To an LLM, answering “no” and changing the mode of the chat window are discrete events that are not necessarily related. Many coding agents interpret mode changes as expressions of intent; Cline, for example, does not even ask, the only approval workflow is changing from plan mode to execute mode. So while this is definitely both humorous and annoying, and potentially hazardous based on your workflow, I don’t complet…

Still waiting for progress from the team trying to get WSL approved for use at our org. We get a "still working through the red tape" update every couple months.

Sometimes having a good kernel matters more than having a good userspace.

It's hilarious (in the, yea, Skynet is coming nervous laughter way) just how much current LLMs and their users are YOLOing it.

One I use finds all kinds of creative ways to to do things. Tell it it can't use curl? Find, it will built it's own in python. Tell it it can't edit a file? It will used sed or some other method.

There's also just watching some many devs with "I'm not productive if I have to give it permission so I just run in full permission mode".

Another few devs are using multiple sessions to multitask. They have 10x the code to review. That's too much work so no more reviews. YOLO!!!

It's funny to go back and watch AI videos warning about someone might give the bot access to resources or the internet and talking about it as though it would happen but be rare. No, everyone is running full speed ahead, full access to everything.

You don't need WSL to run Claude code on windows.

True, it works fine in an ordinary DOS box or in PowerShell, but you have to use WSL2 if you want a sandbox.
