    Let me guess: has access to everything and prompt injections can be anywhere?

      Remember when pop up ads were the worst?

      Then:
      “Hello, IT? I visited the wrong Whitehouse website and now there’s pictures of naked women popping up faster than I can close them.”

      Now:
      “Hello, IT? I clicked a reference on Wikipedia and now my computer is overwriting our cloud servers to generate trans porn of the entire board of directors.”

      Imagine if you will a browser with infinite attack surface 💀

      Honestly I’m pretty bullish on ai but that’s the step too far. I had the same when they released warp (ai enhanced terminal). I finished installing it then before even starting it once I realized I was about to give an ai access to my dotfiles etc… that was the fastest I ever uninstalled something.
