It's hilarious that atm I see "Moltbook" at the top of HN. And it is actually not Moltbot anymore? But I have to admit that OpenClaw sounds much better.
Not the mention the molt.church
Do you know why is there a $crust token behind it?

#72Okay whether its clawdbot or moltbot or openclaw Literally the top 2 HN posts are about this. Either it having book, or the first comment on it showing it create religion or now this. Can we stop all of this hype around Clawdbot itself? Even HN is vulnerable to it.

#73How to annoy and alienate your target audience in 2 short weeks.
It took them so long? That doesn't look good for the audience. A bunch of vibecoded slop full of security holes should annoy faster.

#74Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's typically used with external sandboxes. I wouldn't trust its internal sandbox anyway, now that would be a mistake
Yeah, keep it in a VM or a box you don't care about. If you're running it on your primary machine, you're a dumbass even if you turn on sandbox mode.
The thing is running it onto your machine is kinda the point. These agents are meant to operate at the same level - and perhaps replace - your mail agent and file navigator. So if we sandbox too much we make it useless.
The compromise being having separate folders for AI, a bit like having a Dropbox folder on your machine with some subfolders being personal, shared, readonly etc.
Running terminal commands is usually just a bad idea though in this case, you'd want to disable that and instead fine tune a very well configured MCP server that runs the commands with a minimal blast radius.

#75Not very trust-inducing to rename a popular project so often in such a short time. I've yet again have to change all the (three) bookmarks I collected.
Anyway, independent of what one thinks of this project, It's very insightful to read through the repository and see how AI-usage and agent are working these days. But reading through the integrations, I'm curious to know why it bothers to make all of them, when tools like n8n or Node-RED are existing, which are already offering tons of integrations. Wouldn't it be more productive to just build a wrapper around such integrations-hubs?

#76So when it's commercialized it will be ClosedClaw?
Re: OpenClaw – Moltbot Renamed Again
#77Will now OpenAI legal team reach them and ask to change? So what's next XClaw? Are they getting paid to change name?
Re: OpenClaw – Moltbot Renamed Again
#78I tried it out yesterday, after reading the enthousiastic article at https://www.macstories.net/stories/clawdbot-showed-me-what-t... Setting it up was easy enough, but just as I was about to start linking it to some test accounts, I noticed I already had blown through about $5 of Claude tokens in half an hour, and deleted the VPS immediately. Then today I saw this follow up: https://mastodon.macstories.net/@viticci/1…
part of me sympathizes, but part of me also rolls my eyes. Am i the only one that’s configuring limits on spend and also alerts? Takes 2 seconds to configure a “project” in OpenAI or Claude and to scope an api key appropriately.
Not doing so feels like asking for trouble.

#79I am tired of this. Make it stop.
