Does something like Maple running on your own server alleviate some of this? I mean at a technical level it still has to have these permissions to accomplish the task, but if it's self hosted and not sharing with third parties, does that mitigate some of the risk?

Maybe, however, your own security practices dwarf anything a cloud provider is doing, and even then, the best hackers can drive a truck right through the defenses
yes, as long as you're guaranteed that it does not share that information with third parties, which imo is impossible to do. the issue comes when you have to trust the agent. these models are at best black boxes; even the open source models are trained using data we don't have access to. we've come to trust traditional computation devices because they are largely dumb and we understand them very well. they do what they're instructed to do and only that. can't say we understand these ai models to the same degree yet. maybe if these systems incorporated something like homomorphic encryption them we wouldn't have to trust them.
