> 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).

Why not just use your OS-integrated permission mechanism? No container needed.
