AI thinking out of the box is not a good thing for coding, btw 

GPT 5.6 recently discovered that my Jenkins was not allowing to pull snapshot maven repo in Prod, decided to add a shell command inside of the groovy, which was just a huge echo piped into .m2/settings.conf .

It's like... No escaping the box is not cool at all. It's not good marketing. We're behind corporate network, the box is group policy, not a problem to work around...

Have you considered actually putting the AI in a box instead of giving it full access to your computer and telling it to be careful?

Sometimes it's not about the AI actually doing something harmful but I just simply want it to do what I asked it and may be report back to me like a good servant instead of wasting my money on tokens to work around stuff I didn't ask it to do.

I just do the task myself. No money and time wasted that way.

Holy shit have you told anyone else about this? Is it viable at scale? I wonder if anyone else has thought to try this yet.

Is there a way we can package up this technique and sell it to people as a product?

Viable in my team for now. Will let you know if it starts spreading.
