The real big deal about 'claws' in that they're agents oriented around the user.
The kind of AI everyone hates is the stuff that is built into products. This is AI representing the company. It's a foreign invader in your space.
Claws are owned by you and are custom to you. You even name them.
It's the difference between R2D2 and a robot clone trying to sell you shit.
(I'm aware that the llms themselves aren't local but they operate locally and are branded/customized/controlled by the user)
It always depends on who you consider the user. The one who initiated the agent, or the one who interacts with it? Is the latter a user or a victim?
I agree, and it seems like the incumbents in this user-oriented space (OS vendors) would be letting the messy, insecure version play out before making an earnest attempt at rolling it into their products.
