Clawdbot is an exciting new way to spend $300/day on AI with Anthropic.

It's a personal assistant? and it's a shitty security disaster of course

my theory: Anthropic is going for the mobile game model and inducing gambling addiction in the most horrible SV AI bros

EDIT: oh lol from reddit:

> "clawdbot" is a crypto currency fueled product with loads of aggresive fans

that explains quite a lot

@davidgerard it got renamed to moltbot very soon after it being a fucking security disaster got noticed: https://github.com/moltbot/moltbot

very normal behavior for the uhh, checks duckduckgo, “personal AI assistant that went viral in a matter of weeks” and serves only to burn its users’ money and exfiltrate their data

@davidgerard how dare you imply there’s anything the matter with JiaTanBot, the fleet of LLM agents that have access to all of your credentials on all your systems all at once

anyway it’s named cokebot now to reflect our commitment to make it cheaper and less addictive

@theorangetheme @davidgerard @zzt I’ve seen compelling arguments that, here in the U.S. at least, the normalization of gambling via the legalization of sports betting really opened to floodgates to a lot of this brain-pickled bullshit.

@angry_drunk @davidgerard @zzt I would absolutely not be surprised. Societies that abandon care and love and beauty tend to fall prey to seductive garbage.
