The docker command doesn't have to allow you to run commands as administrator to function properly. You can simply leave the docker group empty and run docker commands via sudo. Using the docker group is essentially equivalent to enabling passwordless sudo as far as security is concerned.

I'm glad you explained this. I've been using docker for years and have always used sudo docker

That's fair. So it's more like you already have a door on the second floor, that door is unlocked, and a ladder in your garage.

In this case the LLM knows about the ladder, but you forgot about it because you're talking about the fridge on the first floor.

This works if you trust every program you run with silent root privileges. Sure, don't run untrusted code in general, but I think it's generally good practice to lock down root privileges as much as possible. Layered security and all that.
