yes, this is basically experimental tech, if used with open source harnesses. if used with proprietary harnesses, treat as actual malware.

Technically open source harness like opencode is more "malwarey" than claude code for example because its default permissions are very open.
I disagree with this, Claude code does many malware like things and has its source obfuscation. Plan mode doesn’t even work.
I never thought about it in that extreme, but just today the google results ai gave me conflicting information from one search to another. Maybe I should start.

P.S. the conflicting information was Keith Richard's age. One search said he was 37 Dec 18 1981, the other said he was 37 in 1980.

I treat all proprietary software as malware, though of course the risk surface varies
