I, for one, am not publishing my “apps” for others to use because my “apps” make me money

Congratulations, your router now costs $700!

Customers notice higher prices at time of purchase a lot more than they notice a lack of future security updates, so good luck selling them for that price when someone else just puts an existing open source firmware on the existing hardware and sells it for the existing price.

Unpalatable preemption is generally better than reentry vehicles coming down your chimney.

The problem there is you can't prove anything would have come down the chimney if the preemption is successful, so people will still be unhappy.

I agree, but some of them are more obvious.

Like not giving 100 billion dollars to someone who actively wants to kill you.

Companies can buy a congressman for less than $10k in lobbying.

You live in a fantasy world if you believe the Trumps leave a penny on the table.

They are burning your country to the ground while enriching themselves.

> Since when do profoundly stupid people use this site?

Profoundly stupid people are the target demographics.

Rich folk would have a man gutted like a pig for a crisp $5 bill.

They would absolutely (have their secretary) commit legal inside trader for a few hundred thousand on every occasion they could.

Your model of other people is profoundly broken and you should be stripped of your ability to use the internet

No security problems carries a lot of weight here because by design you’re having to expose a significant amount of information but this is doable as a weekend project

How? There's a bunch of annoying problems here:

- Where do you source real time traffic data, ferry schedules, etc? Google APIs get you part of the way there but you'd need to crawl public transit sites for the rest.

- How do you keep track of what went into the fridge, what was consumed/thrown away?

- How do you track real world events like buying a physical pass?

Feeding everything into a secure local environment with intelligence injected and then push things to your phone.

Oh wait. That might be a little insecure!

Hmm.

You know it’s open source code, right?

It's literally a loop that wraps APIs from AI providers. Go ahead & explain how an open source AI wrapper fixes security holes inherent in existing AI.

do you think anybody has actually read all 700k lines of the ai generated code?

Not even LLMs can read that.

I asked various models to list configurations options of OpenClaw and none of them could make heads or tails of it.

How is a dedicated Mac not a sandbox?

Because the bit thats import is your context (ie email, credit card, privileged data), not the place where you do the execution.

Having a separate machine thats isolated is all well and good, but that doesn't protect you from someone convincing your openclaw to give them your credit card.

It doesn’t have to have a credit card number to be useful. I don’t need it to purchase anything. Mine has its own icloud and google account. I can share calendars to it. You can donate same with email or shared lists. There are ways of using openclaw without yolo’ing all your secrets.

But it does need to know personal info to be useful as an agent (calendars, email). The danger is that it’s a hassle to vet every bit of data, and to be useful it needs to know a lot, leading to oversharing, and if you use it long enough you will leak secrets that you didn’t want to leak.

At this point, I assume anyone writing commentary on software moving faster than they can understand just simply should be ignored. So when such commentary is advertising a product worth zero

Held responsible by whom? Certainly not you.

history? people with moral integrity?

Incentive check! The author seems to have a vested interest in people not making their own software. Curious
