The most concerning part is people are surprised. Anti-gravity is great I've found so far, but it's absolutely running on a VM in an isolated VLAN. Why would anyone give a black box command line access on an important machine? Imagine acting irresponsibly with a circular saw and bring shocked somebody lost a finger.

Why does the agentic side of the tool grant that level of access to the LLM in the first place? I feel like Google and their competition should feel responsibility to implement their own layer of sandboxing here.
I tried this but I have an MBP M4, which is evidently still in the toddler stage of VM support. I can run a macOS guest VM, but I can’t run docker on the VM because it seems nested virtualization isn’t fully supported yet.
I also tried running Linux in a VM but the graphics performance and key mapping was driving me nuts. Maybe I need to be more patient in addressing that.
For now I run a dev account as a standard user with fast user switching, and I don’t connect the dev account to anything important (eg icloud).
Coming from Windows/Linux, I was shocked by how irritating it is to get basic stuff working e.g. homebrew in this setup. It seems everybody just YOLOs dev as an admin on their Macs.
Because the marketing copy says that all you have to do is have a dream and you, too, can vibe code your very own money-making React app! Just type in what you want and the magical black box will vomit up an app for you, no esoteric programming knowledge required.
And then everyone is surprised when newbies take this advice at face value.
