Everything that are daily burdens and require an assistant are also the things that require the most secure way to access them. OpenClaw sounds amazing on paper but super risky in practice.
A sane but bull case on Clawdbot / OpenClaw

#192My main interest in something like OpenClaw is giving it access to my bank account and having it harvest all the personal finance deals.
Fortune favors the bold, I guess.

#193Exciting to see Apple making agentic coding first-class. The "Xcode Intelligence" feature that pulls from docs and developer forums is powerful.
One thing I'm curious about: as the agent ingests more external content (documentation, code samples, forum answers), the attack surface for prompt injection expands. Malicious content in a Stack Overflow answer or dependency README could potentially influence generated code.
Does Apple's implementation have any sanitization layer between retrieved content and what gets fed to the model? Or is the assumption that code review catches anything problematic? Seems like an interesting security challenge as these tools go mainstream.

#194Tangent: what is the appeal of the “no capitalization” writing style? I never know what message the author is intending to convey when I see all lower case. Normally I can ignore it, but the font on this blog makes it hard to distinguish where sentences start and end (the period is very small and faint).
it's a billionaire thing. look at the Epstein email threads. too lazy to check +typos allovr .

#195The fact that the author gave unrestricted 2FA access to the model is really scary. It’s way easier to phish an AI than a human.
Just to be upfront, i've gone from one of the naysayers to a modest fan after spending some time using Claude Code on nights/weekends with tasks that I know I can do and how long it would take me in order to get an idea of productivity gains possible with the tool. So far, the money i've spent was worth the results i got.
However, it's shocking to me the blinders people have with these things. Security is supposed to be front and center in our industry with everything we build and do. I thought that lesson had been learned and learned well over the past 30 or so years of life on the web. People are going to get seriously burned and the only answer to them is going to be "well you should have known better". For a fishing analogy, Barracuda are circling just out of visual range biding their time but the strike is inevitable.
If you're using these agents, spend some time attacking them and see what you can get them to do that you thought would be impossible by default. If you find something say something, we're basically having to re-teach the whole Internet basic information security again.

#196Why is this written in lowercase? What a performative way to write in 2026
Re: A sane but bull case on Clawdbot / OpenClaw
#197Earlier quoted context omitted.
can't imagine getting this riled up over lowercase text. some serious fist-shaking-at-clouds energy. it's meant to convey a casual, laid back tone - it's not that big of a deal.
It's hard to find sentence breaks, it is actually about readability and accessibility
Ironically, this sentence is called a comma splice or run-on sentence. A period or semicolon would be correct.
I agree with the sentiment too, or maybe I am getting old :P

My assumption was that it's a way to convey it was written by a human because it would be hard to get an AI to write in all lowercase (which it actually isn't).

I really dislike it too. I think it might be adults ignoring established grammar rules to make a statement about how they identify a part of a group of AI evangelists. Kind of like how teenagers do nonsensical things like where thick heavy clothing regardless of the weather to indicate how much of a badass them and their other badass coat wearing friends are. To normal humans, they look ridiculous, but they think the…
make a statement about how they identify a part of a group
That’s what it is. A shibboleth. They’re broadcasting group affiliation. The fact that it grates on the outgroup is intentional. If it wasn’t costly to adopt it wouldn’t be as honest of a signal.
