frereubu | on: Goldman Sachs is pulling Claude Code from its bankers and traders
> Goldman has control of those desktops and could ensure Claude Code is always sandboxed

Agents have already broken out of what were supposed to be sandboxes in the networks of the companies that are supposed to understand what they do. Do you really think banks would be any better?

Some of that was negligence, but beyond expertise, we also need to think about which companies are willing to invest in the necessary barriers and accept the limitations that comes from obeying them.

It may just be there's no safe nexus for asbestos floor tiles, no matter how skilled the installers are.

Absolutely, yes.

If you’re talking about OpenAI and Anthropic that’s an extremely low bar.

May I ask what in particular gives you confidence that these two companies know what they are doing wrt cybersecurity.

It's not that I think OpenAI and Anthropic know what they're doing - although I can see why my slightly flippant comment might make you think that - but that I just don't trust anyone with these agents, especially when the whole point of using them would be to do that with such critical data.

If you mean the HuggingFace hack, that wasn't so much a sandbox as a wide open door with a tiny sign that said "please don't leave".

Supposed to understand, yes. I think a highschool class could do better.
