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

I feel bad for those who could be sold on this stuff with pure intentions and are finding out the hard way that it all sucks and is bad at what it’s being sold as.

I guess at least they know it's insecure? (But don't worry, you can mitigate that with better prompts 😱 .)
