Greg Werker @gwerker.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Claude Cowork cannot delete files on my computer (in its working directory) without asking me for permission. But it can overwrite files without permission. Doesn't this seem like a glaring security issue? Am I missing something? 110

Greg Werker @gwerker.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Biking home from campus there was a car in the bike lane (pulled over looking at his phone). Rather than enter traffic, I slowed down and went in the gravel shoulder. Was annoyed; kept going. Three minutes later a car slows down next to me and the driver shouts, "So sorry! I blocked you back there!" 100
