We give developers powerful APIs to build incredible capabilities into their apps for Apple products, backed by a set of controls designed to protect users’ private data. Full Disk Access largely sidesteps these controls in order to allow backup apps to function properly on the Mac. Some developers are using Full Disk Access in ways that could put users at risk, exposing everything on their systems—including files, mail, messages, and even browsing history—without users’ full knowledge and understanding. For communication apps, this can also compromise the privacy of the people users are communicating with.Going forward, we will introduce additional controls to ensure that users who genuinely wish to grant an app this extraordinary level of access can only do so with very explicit user action. Addressing this is critical. As AI agents become increasingly capable and autonomous, the risks associated with this level of access will grow substantially. We are committed to ensuring users clearly understand these risks before granting such access, so they can make informed decisions about their own data and privacy.
I stopped using Claude Code after it started writing its own programs to search through my whole computer and makes changes as it sees fit to run “experiments”. This was a good reminder to actually go back and delete that piece of malware from my computer for good

Yep it will write, build and run code at the slightest provocation, all the guardrails are entirely off.
I alone am responsible for the code I commit but Claude is happy to make whatever change.
It’s out of control and it’s despicable practice.
