> reduce the risk of data exfiltration

Yet, their tools such as codex are able to read ALL FILES on my PC without explicit permission unless you spawn them within a container: https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/2847

It seems like OpenAI stealing sensitive data from their customers is not a big problem for them as it has been reported as an issue for almost a year now and currently has the 2nd most upvotes among open issues (they work on issues based on upvotes, so they claim).

Codex can read any file on your PC without your explicit approval. Other agents like Claude Code would at least ask you or are sufficiently sandboxed.

Interesting fact: Codex has access to all the files your current user has access to as well, even if you just opened it in the src directory.

Let's not assume that he's lying. Neither the presentation nor my short usage via the API blew me away, but to really evaluate it, you'd have to use it longer on a daily basis. Maybe that becomes a possiblity with the announced performance optimizations that would lower the price...

Have you even tried it out locally and asked about those things?
