alt Hacker NewsWhen I give an agent ssh access to something I want to be able to watch and fully understand what it's doing. I want it to essentially only "type" things into the CLI that I could have typed myself, I can comprehend what it's doing, and am not surprised by the results. Opencode and a smart LLM (qwen 3.8-flash-next, deepseek v4 0731 or smarter) do relatively well with this in my experience.
And if everyone was like you AI safety wouldn't be that large of concern. The default human behavior seems to be fire and forget which can go off the rails really quick.
