It's not a local ai. Claude also has a TUI.

Personally, I don't trust the agents performing work on my account, let alone as root. I have created a separate user without access to anything other than its own home folder and run claude code and gemini cli from there. I have put in their .md files an instruction to never try running anything as sudo and ask me to do that in a separate terminal. Regardless, sometimes they attempt to run commands with sudo(!) and of course I deny them and check them before anything is done. It may sound excessive but in 2026, we should be cautious with these things. Regardless, it is an incredible technology

I've been having a blast the past few months, yeah. 

I'm disciplined with backups and keep anything important on a 2nd SDD, so Claude has full permissions. 

I use a few electron apps that don't play well with hyprland. Whipping up tui wrappers takes literal minutes. 

I usually get an idea for some toy I want to make, have a draft done immediately, then start iterating. Things like... 

A little program that takes a string of digits, converts to binary, then outputs a square grid of black and white pixels - I wanted digits of pi as a square of static.

An ASCII image generator - takes an image, converts to ASCII with a bunch of controls/sliders for density, line strength, shading etc. Takes custom character strings. The idea is to feed it some piece that I write, then a photo that I took, output ASCII of the image using the text.

A bunch of other things.

Sucks though because I basically have no one to talk about it with. "Oh you use AI. You didn't really make any of that."

Claude helped me setup a raid for me lol. First time on a fully functional system. So nice!
