Local Claude Agent Concerns
People are discussing the practicality and security implications of running local Claude agents, particularly focusing on non-developers auditing for prompt injection vulnerabilities and comparing the performance and privacy tradeoffs between local and cloud-based models.
this would explain why i spent the last few days fully locked in, setting up a desktop PC in a secure location to be both a dev and web hosting machine with coolify, and a personal OS running a comprehensive obsidian vault about myself operated with claude code and clawdbot. few understand, but this is the future! and I can’t wait to be able to do this with local and open source LLMs running on actual GPUs, so that it is really truly private.
Claude Cowork is a paradox. Pitching a local agent to non-devs, expecting them to audit for prompt injection is wild If you're technical enough to know the "Lethal Trifecta" use claude code directly. If not, don't LLMs the keys to your file system
