This feels like using Docker is just inherently unsafe.

That’s what rootless docker is for

  • rootless docker's networking (slirp4netns) is still terribly buggy and in edge cases often locks up using 100% CPU until you discover that your laptop is a lapwarmer and kill it

This feels like using sudo is just inherently unsafe.

  • This but unironically. There's no way to ensure that nobody overwrote your .profile or .bashrc with a backdoored sudo that steals your password, or runs your command and then runs an evil command afterwards.

  • It is. That's why SELinux and AppArmor were invented.

    Instead of having "root" and "user", both of these provide sets of permissions that can be granted to apps.

    In this case, SELinux would've stopped this. Codex could've still relabelled the files when mounting but this can be blocked for sensitive directories like /etc.

  • This feels like using a computer is inherently unsafe.

    On the plus side, once we outlaw them we'll shut down the ability for conspiratorial thinking to spread easily and the world will slowly heal from the last couple of decades (the previous one in particular).

    Hooray! We're finally doing something about the harms of social media. Smash your computer today!

    • Ah yes, it’s the conspiratorial thinking dividing society,

      not humans being humans,

      not the people at the highest echelons of society being corrupt (Epstein called).

      It’s the people trying to piece that evil together so they know what to tell their kids - they’re the problem.

      Sure.
