You are not supposed to install OpenClaw on your personal computer

Really don’t understand why sane developers who for decades have been advocating for best practices when it comes to security and privacy seem to be completely abandoning all of them simply because it’s AI. Why would you ever let a non deterministic program god level access to everything? What could possibly go wrong?

Who are these developers that have both been "advocating for best practices" and also "seem to be completely abandoning all of them simply because it’s AI"? Can you point to a dozen blogs/Twitter profiles, or are you just inventing a fictitious "other" to attack?

They aren't. They're the ones who are resisting the all in thing on AI stuff. What you're seeing is over reactive trend followers.

If they don't their jobs are going to get replaced by AI

They're getting replaced by AI anyway, these bleeding edge agents are just surfboards for the wave.

Learn fast or die trying, lol.

Are people really running OpenClaw on their primary machine?

Anyone security-conscious would isolate it on dedicated hardware (old laptop, Raspberry Pi, etc.) with a separate network and chat surface.

Did Hegseth install OpenClaw in the pentagon yet?

Yeah this should be common knowledge. We're building LobsterHelper explicitly for this reason.

pretty clear the facebook safety and alignment role is just for show if she couldn't figure this out

its like they hired the worst person they could get their hands on

Safety and Alignment is just the same old trust & safety people from social media platforms, they somehow managed to convince the people with money of their relevance. I'll never understand that move - the slightest pause for consideration of necessary personnel by those in charge should have nixed any such hiring, but they're spending billions in stock and salary on these folks. Good for them, I guess.
