So i feel like this might be the most overhyped project in the past longer time. I don't say it doesn't "work" or serves a purpose - but well i read so much about this beein an "actual intelligence" and stuff that i had to look into the source. As someone who spends actually a definately to big portion of his free time researching thought process replication and related topics in the realm of "AI" this is not really…

#102It'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.
They change the name every day.

I think (not really sure) there's still a 5 day grace period when you buy domains, at least for gTLDs.
Is that for real? Sounds like an abuse vector
It's why you do not, ever use GoDaddy, they are an awful company.

I've long said that the next big jump in "AI" will be proactivity. So far everything has been reactive. You need to engage a prompt, you need to ask Siri or ask claude to do something. It can be very powerful once prompted, but it still requires prompting. You always need to ask. Having something always waiting in the background that can proactively take actions and get your attention is a genuine game-changer. Wheth…
If its actually the next big thing im not 100% sure, im more leaning towards dynamic context windows such a Googles Project Titans + MIRAS tries to accomplish.
But ye if its actually doing useful proactivity its a good thing.
I just read alot of "this is actual intelligence" and made my statement based on that claim.
I dont try to "shame" the project or whatever.

Why? What's wrong with it?
Let's ignore all the potential security issues in the code itself and just think about it conceptually. By default, this system has full access to your computer. On the project's frontpage, it says, "Read and write files, run shell commands, execute scripts. Full access or sandboxed—your choice." Many people run it without a sandbox because that is the default mode and the primary way it can be useful. People then us…

This is EXACTLY what I want. I need my tech to be pull-only instead of push, unless it's communication with another human I am ok with.
> Having something always waiting in the background that can proactively take actions
The first thing that comes to mind here is proactive ads, "suggestions", "most relevant", algorithmic feeds, etc. No thank you.

The dynamic one that is able to find the right update frequency and phase modulation thereof wins.
PM is essential, because stable phase is susceptible to adaptive cancellation by human brains (and is so stone age as well).

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…
