ChatGPT for Google Sheets Exfiltrates Workbooks

A Hacker News discussion warned that local LLM tools can download and run unvetted binaries, creating malware risk.

Commenters argued these tools should be isolated in local containers to limit damage from compromised executables.

The post raises broader trust and security questions for LLM products from Google Sheets integrations to Codex and PDF readers.
