you run claude code unsanboxed on your machine and give it privileged access?

On my windows machine I do. Not on my important machines.

At least it might do a better job than Gemini when I told it to fix the drivers in Linux

Giving the data to Anthropic instead of giving it to LG and McAffee, fascinating

"Prevent this software having unfettered access to your machine by giving some other software unfettered access to your machine"

That's a hot-take, but yeah. Something like that.

Probably more like, "Prevent adversarially installed software from having unfettered access to your machine by giving software you specifically requested unfettered access to your machine."

If it makes you feel safer, you can just tell it to give you the commands run them yourself. The point is, I'm not a Windows sysadmin so idk how to do stuff like this--claude does.

Yeah it's reasonable to trust Claude more than whatever the heck LG shipped
