This looks like the final cell-phonification of the Mac. I'm bummed.

How do you figure that? From the Apple post: "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. "

It's already a OS controlled permission today. You will still be able to enable it for an app if you really want, they just want to make tighten the gate up to make sure you really want to and don't blind-click though. Seems like a reasonable compromise to me.

In the short term. Right now the bad guys (well, non-state bad guys) don't have access to frontier models with the cyber security nanny mode disabled. However open source models are getting better every day and most don't have those guardrails, and even if they do it's not impossible to remove them when you have access to the weights. So yea, short term it's going to be an issue.

Long term, however, once this initial tsunami is worked through then hopefully more of these types of bugs will be found before new code ships, making it harder to find critical vulnerabilities in the wild.

You do you. For myself, after getting a chemo port implanted on my 49th birthday following having a large tumor and half my colon removed I decided sometime escaping through alcohol was no longer worth it. Maybe too late to decide that but I'd rather give it up that take any more chances. So far I somehow still make it through the day.
