Re:Show HN: Clawk – Give coding agents a disposable Linux VM... by schainks on Monday July 13, 2026 @11:32AM (#48894280)
There is a reason why VMs even are a thing at all: they can offer better security guarantees than alternatives.

A separate user is a good start but LLM tests themselves show they can cleverly bypass guardrails if they figure out they are in a sandboxed environment of some kind, right?

So, I read those test results as: an LLM is less likely to do something crazy if it thinks it has the whole environment to itself.
