Basically: If you run OpenClaw connected to any meaningful system you are not fit to design, program or run any kind of software.

@tomw @tante we've gotta put some kind of regulation in place for this. What happens if an agent does something illegal? Presumably someone needs to be held accountable (I would hope it would be the operator). So there's got to be some way to link agent to operator. Otherwise, where's the accountability?

@tante

“Meaningful system” here, includes a network.

@tante Here's the corporate vice president of Microsoft Word running #OpenClaw to organize his family tasks and comms: https://www.omarknows.ai/p/meet-lobster-my-personal-ai-assistant

Don't worry, I'm sure no malicious actors will ever target his setup to compromise #Microsoft network. I mean, they'll only have access to all info and location of his loved ones. Surely there's zero monetary value in that...

[jukkan@mstdn.social]

@tante OMFG. He has now connected #OpenClaw to his smart home AND published a full playbook of his setup:

A senior leader at Microsoft basically gave the keys to his front door to autonomous GenAI agents.

@jukkan @tante fucking hell, some people REALLY crave having a personal assistant a la JARVIS. i particularly find the bit at the end creepy, where the AI compliments him on how "well written" his post is. validation/praise sycophant machine...

@patrick_h_lauke @jukkan @tante

there is stupidity, and there is clinical levels of stupidity. The AI bubble actively selects for the latter

There's *no possible way* these words will ever come back to haunt him

[hiiaminfi@mastodon.social]

@patrick_h_lauke @jukkan @tante I mean - I’d want one too. I would also like to have a wand from any magic world you can imagine so magic could do my dishes. Getting either of those before the end of this decade is … unrealistic.

2 weeks later: "Behold! I have connected #OpenClaw with the smart home system that can open the door to my house!!!"

To be fair, how much more damage could a malicious actor do to Microsoft compared to their current management?

[jukkan@mstdn.social]

@FritzAdalis @tante @david_chisnall

[hiiaminfi@mastodon.social]

@jukkan @jkmcnk @patrick_h_lauke @tante this also boggles my mind. I own Smart home stuff. I get the Appeal. I really do. But Smart Locks creep me out.

[hiiaminfi@mastodon.social]

@patrick_h_lauke @jukkan @tante come on at least he has multiple agents to isolate environments or something. That’s almost professional.

(I am kidding of course)

I think the most diplomatic take I can get behind is: „If you are reading a tutorial about how to set OpenClaw up: This is out of your league, keep your hands off.“
