Or even creating a faulty symbolic link and above your home directory and suggesting to remove it, then it actually removes everything in that folder including your files in the home folder.
Though it's not enough, stuff like `grep "" .e?v` can still end up sending your sensitive keys to LLM providers.

Like in the "Play some jazz music" example in the documentation, don't forget to login to the Music app using your own Apple ID on the new user or VM you created.
AI: (after 10 minutes of deep reasoning) Ah! I found the solution. I need to cause a power surge in the grid to power off your device.
Siri continues to be the most embarrassing Apple product on the market by a long shot.
And you can still ask Siri to ask ChatGPT if you need someone to talk to.
Also, you’d be surprised what cool things you can do when using Shortcuts with Siri. Especially now that Shortcuts can make use of LLMs (“Use model” action).
the split architecture offers absolutely zero security benefits outside of not exposing a server process on your mac to the open internet (assuming you only let it connect to cloudflare) - it's just a convenient place to spin up a thin JS layer that calls model APIs and connects to your mac.
anyways i think this is a neat weekend vibecoding project but IMO it needs a lot more design thought to really be useful and not be a huge security issue.
I use Google Assistant for things like "add a reminder", "set an alarm", which is natural language processing but doesn't seem to need so many neurons as LLM. And faster than this Gemini crap, anyway.
I saw a social media clip of a woman in the passenger car of a Chinese car (her - presumably husband - is driving) asking the car "Has there been a woman in this car other than me?". The car seems to have an LLM app, because it responds saying "I can't see that", and then start giving tips how to find out (check the recent addresses list in th navigation, check the trips log if there has been long trips, see if the car is cleaner than he usually maintains it), and ending with talking about trust and communication in a relationship...
Hah, in our imagination we'd get KITT from Knight Rider. In reality...
- i am still waiting for an agent that turns your mac automatically on when you are away and then lets you control the machine.
- perhaps a robot arm operated by cloudflare agents with opencv camera to detect where your switch is present and where the plug is present remote controlled would do the job?
- it can also unplug the device when you are done using it
Also, good luck to any user who tries to google for help.
I don't trust this list of "safe commands": https://github.com/ygwyg/system/blob/b5adfe526da7470cade61f7...
It includes python3 and node under the heading "Dev tools (read-only)" - but I don't think "read-only" is enforced anywhere.
I don't want natural language, way too ambiguous and too much typing (or worse, talking).
90% of the things I do repeat frequently. Brevity is key for me.
I like formal syntaxes with well defined semantics.
