alt Hacker NewsMost people are running Moltbot (or whatever is called today) in an isolated environment so it's not much of a big deal really.

Press X to doubt.
If even half are running it sufficiently sandboxed I'll eat my hat.
I'm not so sure most people are doing this.
But to be useful it’s not in a contained environment, it’s connected to your systems and data with real potential for loss or damage to others.
Best case it hurts your wallet, worse case you’ll be facing legal repercussions if it damages anyone else’s systems or data.
I think it is, doing something so pointless is a bad sign. or what value did I miss?

Most people running it are normies that saw it on linkedin and ran the funny "brew install" command they saw linked because "it automates their life" said the AI influencer.
Absolutely nobody in any meaningful amount is running this sandboxed.
