Yeah unironically just let an agent harness rip with full admin access without monitoring anything it does or using a VM. It’ll be fine, probably. “How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love the AgentDOS and Only Exfiltrate Secrets Occasionally”
I don’t think it’s reasonable to think that privacy regulation is coming with the current admin and weak “opposition”, and lack of capacity to care or understand the stakes by the populace. We need some very effective political organizing, yesterday. And normalized, cheap, scramble suits wouldn’t hurt either.
I’ve been considering this as well, and trying to get my colleagues to understand and start doing it. I use it to pretty decent effect in my vibe coded slop side projects.
In the new world of mostly-AI code that is mostly not going to be properly reviewed or understood by humans, having a more and more robust manifestation and enforcement, and regeneration of the specs via the coding harness configuration combined with good old fashioned deterministic checks is one potential answer.
Taken to an extreme, the code doesn’t matter, it’s just another artifact generated by the specs, made manifest through the coding harness configuration and CI. If cost didn’t matter, you could re-generate code from scratch every time the specs/config change, and treat the specs/config as the new thing that you need to understand and maintain.
1) “AI harness plugin build system” to help improve reliability of and increase compatibility across the fragmented AI coding harness plugin ecosystem.
2) Claude code plugin based on some ideas found in https://www.anthropic.com/research/emotion-concepts-function
The main idea is to add hooks that inject “baselines” under some conditions to counteract certain “emotions” that can cause subtle misaligned behavior in agents
3) Final Fantasy XI custom client remaster in Bevy/Rust alongside an MCP integration that aims to allow agents to play autonomously on private servers à la “Claude plays Pokemon”
We have our doubts about this. Can you share your code or product?
Anecdotally, my mistakes and lack of understanding exponentiate the more I try to parallelize.
Until they do start doing identity verification, I think you're good. Frankly, don't be a coward. If you're getting treated like this, why would you even want to use their services in the future?
