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

@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

> From this point forward, this is only going to get better and more amazing

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.

@jkmcnk @patrick_h_lauke @hiiaminfi @tante "Physical security matters. The Mac is in my office, which is in my house. If someone steals it, I have bigger problems."

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?

[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.“
