What’s your emergency “break glass” policy?
Is it a bottle of whiskey?
Because i want to work on meaningful things that benefit people directly.
Because i want to unterstand the capabilities and limitations of openclaw-like agents. LLMs aren’t going away, better be proactive and learn what the hype is about.
Believe it or not, this is the first time for me being suspected a troll, but I start to see the appeal when people are getting so worked up while being so far off the mark.
Sorry to disappoint that I am still on the loose. Then again prison is probably better than doing one more D-FMEA.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with running Openclaw. I run it in an isolated server, and it doesn’t have access to my data - if it goes tits up, it deletes unimportant stuff only. If anyone gets access to the credentials in it, and maybe its Google account (I went with the approach of giving it its own Google account, so that it can create docs and calendar events and then add me, rather than getting access to my Google account).
What is way too brave for my taste is giving it access to accounts with your personal data, or the filesystem in your computer. That’s a disaster waiting to happen.

I wonder though: if Google can link this account to you as its actual owner, I wonder if there’s a risk if the bot does something against the ToS?
I hope you have backups of your Google account…
