NOTICE TO ALL #OPENCLAW USERS:

If your openclaw instance emails me from your account for ANY reason, I *will* report you to Gmail for phishing and then block the fuck out of you. You are dead to me. If I knew where you lived I would visit, set your house on fire, then piss on you when you ran out screaming. Your shitty agentic AI is not welcome in my inbox. Fuck right off, and when you get there, keep on fucking off some more.

(I do not need this shit before my morning caffeine.)

@cstross I'm terrified to ask but I've been very busy recently... *deep breath* wtf is open claw?

@quinn An autonomous agentic AI you're supposed to install on your computer that will have access to all your accounts and randomly spam famous people with bullshit requests, like an over-enthusiastic teenage fan only far more irritating because under the facade they're a p-zombie.

@cstross oh right that thing, I was a renaming behind. This whole thing is so confusing. It's like someone proudly announcing they've put two angry badgers in their house. Like, how do you think this will end?

"The agent is also susceptible to prompt injection attacks, in which harmful instructions are embedded in the data with the intent of getting the LLM to interpret them as legitimate user instructions."

So maybe a cleverly crafted reply would at least erase all the sender's files?
