Makes me want to have like 5 separate computers:
- one for banking only
- one for development only
- one for web browsing only
- one for gaming only
- one for socials only
How else can you stay safe against a threat that exfiltrates your entire digital life in like 10 seconds?
You forgot one.
No need for something new here, Claude Code (Auto + default settings) has a tendency of running "find"/"ls" on your home folder when it struggles with solving a problem. I wish I was joking.
Now of course people trust these AI companies not to do bad things(tm), but all it takes is replacing the model endpoint URL -or any kind of harness compromise- and nothing will seem amiss
For banking I use macOS/linux, sometimes iOS unfortunately but we all do sins
Ideal setup:
- Dev machine
- Gaming machine (isolate downloading mods)
- Browsing machine
Conversely, don't bother with poor people!
Now we just need proper Robin Hood malware that "levels out the playing field" as it were, by stealing from the rich and moving that money into the poor people's accounts (that have also been hacked).
Soon (now?) the threats will become ever more complex, and we’ll be back in the early-2000s-like virus storms.
Just like it's amusing that Osama bin Laden reviewed Al Qaeda expense report and these expense reports look just like ones anyone else would file.
Expense: two burgers and fries
Price: $15.50
Vendor: Five Guys
