alt Hacker NewsIt is, but I thought security wasn't the point.
The point was to give it unlimited access to your entire digital life and while I'd never use it that way myself, that's what many users are signing up for, for better or worse.
Obviously, OpenClaw doesn't advertise it like that, but that's what it is.
Needless to say, OpenClaw wasn't even the first to do this. There were already many products that let you connect an AI agent to Telegram, which you could then link to all your other accounts. We built software like that too.
OpenClaw just took the idea and brought it to the masses and that's the problem.
I don't know, I don't see the benefit in giving it that much freedom. I've given my agent very specific access and it does basically everything I want. I don't think I've ever thought "this needs more access, but I don't want to give it", and it's already very isolated. It runs in a bunch of containers that don't have access to any secrets or the host system.
I don't see what the extra benefit is that OpenClaw gets from being able to access everything.
