It's quite wild to give root access to a process that has access to the internet without any guardrails. and then connecting all your personal stuff on top of it.
I'm sure AI has been a boon for security threats.
Isn't this just a basic completion loop with toolcalling hooked up to a universal chat gateway?
Isn't that a one shot chatgpt prompt?
(Yes it is: https://chatgpt.com/share/6976ca33-7bd8-8013-9b4f-2b417206d0...)
Why's everyone couch fainting over this?
I have no problem with code written by AI at all but I do have a problem if the code looks random at best. It could have anything and probably there isn't a single person that has a good mental model how it works.
Just a thought.
About the maintainer's github:
688 commits on Nov 25, 2025... out of which 296 commits were in clawdbot, IN ONE DAY, he prolly let lose an agent on the project for a few hours...

Now, something else i researched:
Someone launched some crypto on this, has $6M mktcap

Make of that what you will

Baffling. Isn't this just a basic completion loop with toolcalling hooked up to a universal chat gateway? Isn't that a one shot chatgpt prompt? (Yes it is: https://chatgpt.com/share/6976ca33-7bd8-8013-9b4f-2b417206d0... ) Why's everyone couch fainting over this?
something feels off to me about the clawdbot hype About the maintainer's github: 688 commits on Nov 25, 2025... out of which 296 commits were in clawdbot, IN ONE DAY, he prolly let lose an agent on the project for a few hours... he has more than 200 commits on an average per day, but mostly 400-500 commits per day, and people are still using this project without thinking of the repercussions) Now, something else i re…
look at his contribution graph, it's absolutely wild
This seems like a nightmare. I wanted to be interested, I'm still interested I guess, but the onboarding experience is just a series of horrible red flags. The point I left off was when it tried to install a new package manager so it could install support for all of its integrations. Hell no.
