I was thinking that in principle you could use intricate laser beam patterns to direct the construction of self-assembling molecular structures from existing atoms at interstellar distance, thus basically construct nano-bots that will construct a computer that then you can upload an AI into.

I do to. Except I can't be burnt since I start each claude in a separate VM.

I have a script which clones a VM from a base one and setups the agent and the code base inside.

I also mount read-only a few host directories with data.

I still have exfiltration/prompt injection risks, I'm looking at adding URL allow lists but it's not trivial - basically you need a HTTP proxy, since firewalls work on IPs, not URLs.

MicroVMs seem to be getting more popular.

I wonder how they fit into the picture.
