People are buying separate Macs to run autonomous systems so they don’t damage their personal computers.
That should tell you everything.
You’re literally buying a second device because you don’t trust the system.
And it’s not just Macs.
People are spinning up VPS servers,
running virtual machines,
locking things in containers,
using remote desktops and cloud sandboxes,
tightening file permissions…
All to “contain” the risk.
And yes—those things reduce local damage.
But that’s not where the real risk lives.
Once that system is connected to:
your CRM
Google Drive / Dropbox
email
banking / loan docs
real estate workflows
…it’s no longer contained.
The moment you connect it, you’ve given it access to everything that actually matters.
Now it doesn’t need to break in.
It’s already inside.
So no—you didn’t eliminate the risk.
You moved it.
That’s not security.
That’s exposure that feels safe.
