Just tell your AI agents to reduce the RAM usage and install size by 20% and let them rip. How hard can it be?

Simple, NoPilot can just erase all your files. Binaries can't take up memory of they can't be loaded.

More like tell your users to only run services in the cloud and not to run anything on their own computers.
