Just curious, before reading this, would you have given an alien intelligence access to your computer, not understanding how it works, and not trusting it? It doesn't have to be an AI, just ... an alien intelligence. Something not human. Actually, strike that, reverse it! Would you give human intelligence access to your unsandboxed computer?
What is "sandboxing" in the age of Microsoft Copilot+ AI, Apple Intelligence, Google Gemini already or coming soon to various phones and devices?
Assistant, Siri, Cortana were dumb enough not to be a threat. With the next breed, will we need to airgap our devices to be truly safe from external influences?
I wouldn't either. I guess at first I thought this new "computer use" was like a super macro—versatile but still under my control. At least in its current form it seems to be much more than that.
I wouldn't!
