Exactly. Claude in a VM is the way to go.

  A VM hosted by someone else. Somethig on your personal notebook or the proxmox server in your garage is still too risky.

    Why are 3rd party hosted VMs safer than your own?
    • trvz 2mo ago
      They're not. When things go wrong it's better to compromise someone else's VM host than your own computer. It's only a matter of time now until AI will find novel ways to break out of virtualisation.

        In the short term wouldnt a “dont escape” prompt prevent this? Also if it started being widespread wouldnt Anthropic specifically train new models against doing it?

          No. No.

        So the concern is that the agent will discover a novel VM escape, exploit it and take control of your whole machine instead of working on its prompted task? That seems rather far fetched.

  Might be more secure to get a real laptop and treat Claude as any other human worker. I.e. apply all the normal sysadmin tools that manage laptops for people to manage the laptop for Claude
