>everyone sensible enough to not run them has to pay the price

I just run a computer where I can access the full disk, without worrying if a corporation thinks I shouldn't.

See that's the thing. They will likely limit other LLMs but leave their own access level.

It’s already difficult enough, unless Apple removes the option completely I don’t see how this improves anything. Users don’t read prompts.

I see this completely as Apple stoping competition vs any type of safety. We already get prompted a million times by TCC for "node" and other nonsense you cannot even understand.

I already struggle with terminal and scripts with full disk access, this will probably make it worse.

I suspect this reactive nonsense, is part of apple's plan to ios-ify macos.

I've heard too many stories of personal friends getting into trouble from just recklessly running agents on their Macs (giving Full Disk Access perms) for me to balk at this. Those of us who are technical enough can find ways around, but the public needs to be protected from themselves at this moment. I can't believe I'm actually saying that, but here we are. I blame the AI companies.
