One thing AI can power nicely is the anti-SaaS movement. Being able to just boot a cheap PC and test out any of the open source packages is so infinitely easier than piling into all the random credential Bazaars.

But that won't take away the inability of the LLM from confusing whats in dev, whats in production, whats in localhost and whats remote; I've been working on getting a tools/skill for opencode that works with chrome/devtools via a linuxserver.io image. I can herd it to the right _arbitrary_ ports, but every compaction event steers it back to wanting to use the standard 9222 port and all that. I'm tempted to just revert it but there's a security and now, security-through-LLM-obscurity value in not using defaults. Defaults are where the LLM ends up being weak. It will always want to use the defaults. It'll always forget it's suppose to be working on a remote system.

Using opencode, there's no way to force the LLM into a protocols that limits their damage to a remote system or a narrow scope of tools. Yes, you can change permissions on various tools, but that's not the weakness that's exposed by these types of events. The weakness is the LLM is a averaged 'problem solver' so will always tend towards a use case that's not novel, and will tend to do whatever it saw on stackoverflow, even if what you wanted isn't the stackoverflow answer.
