#22I don’t get it. It says nothing leaves your computer, but it’s sending things to OpenRouter, not running models locally. Perhaps I am dumb (and I always feel dumb after reading an AI generated README for yet another AI tool Tbf)
I read it as "everything controlled by us is local first and we do not collect any data about you"
I agree that someone may misunderstand their phrasing though

#23> owns your filesystem
Just when I thought it couldn't get worse than OpenClaw, someone proposes this, in all seriousness. I see a stellar future for them at OpenAI.

> Yes. OpenYak is local-first. Your conversations and files are stored only on your machine. When using cloud models, only API calls to LLM providers leave your computer. So local-first and still upload files to cloud models if you configure it.
>only API calls
Given the software‘s broad appeal, I’d rephrase to make it more clear every word/file you send would leave your computer.

#26I still strongly believe every developer should be vibecoding their own cowork/openclaw/devin Here are the prompts I use for my AI environment, though it's changed a bunch since the last snapshot https://github.com/rbren/personal-ai-devbox
Thanks for the link. You mention security; is the _average_ developer safer going with OpenClaw?

Neat! I might give it a try.
What do you mean by interfaces in "These interfaces can do literally anything on the host machine. You're responsible for your own security"?
Also, your backdooring image links to a 404.

#30Why did the OP make a comment about the project like he was someone else? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47560380#47560381 When it's clear he is one of the major contributors to the project? https://github.com/openyak/desktop/graphs/contributors
Because it’s just silly AI generated spam, don’t read too much into it.
