Sorry for the confusion, I was actually talking about their Web based chat. Since most of my work is governance and docs, I just use their Web chats and they ju

  Aha... Well, I let Codex (Claude Code would work too) manage/troubleshoot .xlsx files too, seems to handle it just fine (it tends to un-archive them and browse the resulting XML files without issues), seen it do similar stuff for .app and .docx files too so maybe give that a try with other harnesses/models too, they might get it :)

    Yeah, it's just way easier to do via the web/mobile app but I'll give using it via the CLI a try. Thanks :)

  You're not giving an AI command line access to your work computer? How do you expect to keep up? /s

    You give it command line access in a VM...
    • koen_hendriks 6mo ago
      You mean a VM like the one that contains a 0day that can escape the sandbox that gets found every year at pwn2own?

        Presumably you’re also using a browser to view this web page. There have also been vulnerabilities in that. You have to draw a line somewhere.

        I run mine as a separate unprivileged user. (No VM.) Am I pwned?
      • dymk 6mo ago
        Maybe, but the sort of 0days you're talking about aren't exploited in any meaningful way for almost all developers.

      i give it in real ubuntu, no vm, no docker. so long I don't ask it to organize files, it will behave. it has not screw me so far.

        I only run it with --dangerously-skip-permissions. YOLO!
    • noduerme 6mo ago
      Yeah, fine... but it's like daily that a non-tech-savvy friend of mine tells me they just installed some shiny "harness" on their laptop now to organize their emails, and they "just put it in one folder" and "8n8 says", what does it say on the tin, Dave? "it says it's highly unlikely it will escape from the folder". Your work computer? "Yeah, but it's a real company. They're all about security." So telling someone who just wants to upload an .xlsx file to a bot that they should just find a harness to give CLI access to their work computer - right after they say they work in a regulatory capacity - is just freakin malpractice.

  there's things like Open Web UI that allow you to easily get a chat UI from an open source model
