What I have been considering, but haven’t found a readily available setup yet: Make a user with lots of read permissions (most of /etc, API keys & passwords in separate excluded files). That could be done with very restrictive sudo patterns. Let the AI run commands under that user directly (it can do sudo -l to get an idea of what it can do). Then, use it like in Star Trek “Computer - run a level 2 diagnostic”.
Not as the centre of attention when fixing a problem, but as additional input / modern rubber ducking.
This is a crazy use of AI!

I just run it in a VPS, don’t care if it nukes itself. Back up the files it works on every 3 hours.
