alt Hacker News> If you ask ChatGPT or Claude to write something like this through their websites, they will refuse. This OpenClaw agent had no such compunctions.
OpenClaw runs with an Anthropic/OpenAI API key though?

Probably pretty big difference in system prompt from using the apps vs hitting the api, not that that’s necessarily what’s happening here. + I think openclaw supports other models / its open source and it would be pretty easy to fork and add a new model provider.

Yea pretty confused by this statement. Though also I'm pretty sure if you construct the right fake scenario[0] you can get the regular Claude/ChatGPT interfaces to write something like this.

I think they’re describing a difference in chat behavior vs API. The API must have fewer protections/be more raw.
