I’m out of the loop clearly on what clawdbot/moltbot offers (haven’t used it)- I’d love a first hand explanation from users for why you think it has 70k stars. I’ve never seen a repo explode that much.
One can imagine the prompt injection horrors possible with this.

Apparently it's like Claude Code but for everything. One can imagine the prompt injection horrors possible with this.
When I visit https://www.molt.bot/ with Edge browser, there is a bloody red screen screaming malware. What's wrong with the name?

Since you have not mentioned it: those crypto scams are NOT related to the project in _any_ way. And I really doubt they've helped the popularity much. From the creator himself: https://x.com/steipete/status/2016072109601001611
look at this article of a crypto person hyping it up for example:

Last year in my area, a food truck decided to call itself Leggo My Egg Roll, and obvious play on Eggo waffles tagline. Kellogg sent them a cease and desist, they decided to ignore it. Kellogg then offered to pay them to rebrand, they still wouldn’t. They then sued for $15 million.
...and then what happened?

A bit OT but why is moltbot so much more popular than the many personal agents that have been around for a while?
its basically claude with hands, and self-hosting/open source are both a combo a lot of techies like. it also has a ton of integrations.
will it be important in 6 months? i dunno. i tried it briefly, but it burns tokens like a mofo so I turned it off. im also worried about security implications.
It sounds nice at a first glance, but how useful is it actually? Anyone got real, non-hypothetical use cases that outweigh the risks?
My experience. I have it running on my desktop with voice to text with an API token from groq, so I communicate with it in WhatsApp audios. I Have app codes for my Fastmail and because it has file access can optimize my Obsidian notes. I have it send me a morning brief with my notes, appointments and latest emails. And of course I have it speaking like I am some middle age Castillian Lord.
This project terrifies me. On the one hand it really is very cool, and a lot of people are reporting great results using it. It helped someone negotiate with car dealers to buy a car! https://aaronstuyvenberg.com/posts/clawd-bought-a-car But it's an absolute perfect storm for prompt injection and lethal trifecta attacks: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/16/the-lethal-trifecta/ People are hooking this thing up to Te…

* launch a viral marketing campaign with the help of some sophisticated crypto investors
