Is this materially different than giving all files on your system 777 permissions?

It's vastly different.
It's more (exactly?) like pulling a .sh file hosted on someone else's website and running it as root, except the contents of the file are generated by a LLM, no one reads them, and the owner of the website can change them without your knowledge.

Yes, because I can't read or modify your files over the internet just because you chmod'ed them to 777. But with Clawdbot, I can!
