Everyone shitting on this without looking should look at the creator, and/or try it out. I didn't really dive in but its extremely well integrated with a lot of channels, to big thing is all these onnectors that work out of the box. It's also security aware and warns on the startup what to do to keep it inside a boundary.

#143This is probably the wrong place to ask this, but why not use a locally run LLM?

The creator is a big part of what concerns me tbh. He puts out blog posts saying he doesn’t read any of the code. For a project where security is so critical, this seems… short sighted.

#147Okay 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.

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…
Remember how much people hated Clippy?
It looks like you're writing a Hacker News comment. Would you like help?

#149My biggest issue with this whole thing is: how do you protect yourself from prompt injection? Anyone installing this on their local machine is a little crazy :). I have it running in Docker on a small VPS, all locked down. However, it does not address prompt injection. I can see how tools like Dropbox, restricted GitHub access, etc., could all be used to back up data in case something goes wrong. It's Gmail and Calen…
