Outside of the article's mentioned graphics development, there is no reason to isolate an agent using actual hardware. I threw together this script[0] using libvirt to give claude its own graphical desktop env to be able to do user acceptance testing with Chrome. It has full root and can do what ever. If it makes a mess, I can dump and reinstall in seconds. 0: https://gist.github.com/smith153/04b4068b5a2d7b234f1c3d5992dafe25 https://gist.github.com/smith153/04b4068b5a2d7b234f1c3d5992d...

This is neat, and thank you for sharing! I've been wanting to set up something exactly like this for my own use, but... You know, time is limited. This is just enough scaffolding to have a little project for Monday morning!

  There are many ways and tools on linux to get a "VM" up and running. But with libvirt you can easy script out what the initial environment and network stack is. The heart of it is just running the 'virt-install' command, but as you can see I've got a bunch of other opinionated stuff going on before that.

  I also have a light weight cross platform virtual machine with egress filtering if you're looking for an even more batteries included approach. https://github.com/smol-machines/smolvm https://github.com/smol-machines/smolvm

You can run macOS in a VM guest on a Mac host; Apple explicitly allows this.

Nice. I just have sudo useradd agent sudo su agent So it can blow up its own files, but not mine. It was also doing some kind of headless Chrome stuff in there. I don't know how that works, but it was taking screenshots iirc. I did also set up VNC at some point but didn't find it worth using. >If it makes a mess, I can dump and reinstall in seconds. This is also true of a $3 VPS, where I found it very amusing to give my agent root. What's the worst that could happen ;)

You mean you had claude throw together a script because this is heavily generated. Lost interest after about 250 lines, it's just tiresome reading through this incoherent amalgamation

  Yeah bro, you can just use AI!

  I don't know what sort of shell scripts you've had to review in your day... I used to get far worse shell scripts, assuredly

Nice to give Claude their own blue bubble iMessage. Can be done in a VM of course if you have the capacity, but old Apple hardware seems to accumulate for many.
