Anyone dumb enough to run this on their computer deserves it.

I think most people are buying separate computers to run it on. This is a nice example of why you might want to do that.

(Though they're still hooking it up to their entire digital life, which also doesn't seem very reassuring.)

You must be joking.

Reminds me a lot of "Chris the Cockney".

AI has developed this entire culture of people who are "into tech" but seem to not understand how a computer works in a meaningful way. At the very least you'd think they'd ask a chatbot if what they're doing is a bad idea!

Isn't that the whole point of AI?

I have a separate removable SSD I can boot from to work with Claude in a dedicated environment. It is nice being able to offload environment set up and what not to the agent. That environment has wifi credentials for an isolated LAN. I am much more permissive of Claude on that system. I even automatically allow it WebSearch, but not WebFetch (much larger injection surface). It still cannot do anything requiring sudo.

They are not. Many people are doing this; I don't think there's enough data to say "most," but there's at least anecdotal discussions of people buying Mac minis for the purpose. I know someone who's running it on a spare Mac mini (but it has Internet access and some credentials, so...).

Most tech enthusiasts I know have a myriad of computers laying around.

Spinning up a physical instance to try out some totally shady software is pretty standard stuff going back decades now.

Man, let me tell you about virtual machines, it’s gonna blow your mind.

Call me old fashioned but I like my tangible approach.

You also get to run both systems on bare metal. Nothing wrong with this.
