alt Hacker NewsThis was of course dependent on yolo mode, but automatic approval has also been pulling stunts like this. A recent example is data that was purposely kept away from Codex in a folder far far away. When it found a single reference it just went for the data when having an issue. Lesson learned, keep essential data and Codex separated on different machines. Codex remote ssh actually helps here.

Or, learn your local OS' permission system, have it in a directory right next to your banking credentials (or something even more outrageous) and nothing could go wrong even if you tried to.
Fwiw separate machines for the agents is awesome in general anyway.
I have agent frontends running on a low power server where every session is in tmux. So i can just resume from my home pc and pickup where i left off without reestablishing context. I do have to manually feed it data it can access bit that’s also a feature. Also let’s me shutdown the home pc if it’s some long running task since the server is much more power efficient.
What in heaven's name is a "folder far far away"?
(It sounds like you put it on an SSD on an extension cord and moved it to the kitchen or something.)
