> DenchClaw finds your Chrome Profile and copies it fully into its own, so you won’t have to log in into all your websites again. DenchClaw sees what you see, does what you do. It’s an everything app, that sits locally on your mac.

Wow that sounds great. Hey don't worry these things never blackmail anyone. Let it know if you're gonna turn it off, I bet it'll make some REAL interesting choices based on your browsing history

Yes yes a VibeMBA is not very distinguishable from an MBA. It's just faster and with even more bad decisions. Higher velocity, thanks to AI

Frankly this rules. I can't wait to see what happens to everyone who uses this. It's gonna be awesome.

Everyone who installs this fucking thing deserves it at this point. Burn it all down.

Also hi even if that were somehow true (it isn't) do you know anything about credentials

Christ I never thought I'd say this but I wish the NFT craze was still going right now. Absolutely all these people would find a whole new way for all their apes to be gone

@cwebber and you automated pointing it at your head and pulling the trigger repeatedly
@cwebber I installed it today after getting a ton of junk mail from Hello Fresh, figured I could sic em on that as an experiment.
Then I realized how much access it would get and I couldn't even figure out how to safely play around with it. Ended up removing it, it felt like giving root access to my life.
@paige @cwebber It’s one of those things that could only possibly sound like a good idea if you had an almost religious faith in the idea of LLMs as perfectly benevolent, perfectly secure systems
@paige @cwebber Love the idea of giving all my personal data to a machine that can be pwned by someone literally sweet talking it
@j0ebaldw1n @paige @cwebber you don't even need to give it your info, it's enough if anyone in your network or whoever scraped your info somewhere does 🙀
@j0ebaldw1n @paige @cwebber They put the social engineering INTO the machine.

Those companies that you pay to get your data out of data brokers’ databases are just creating databases so they can become data brokers, themselves, right?

@cwebber lol upboats 🛶
@cwebber
All my apes, all openclawed.
@silvermoon82 openclawed right from my hands
@cwebber
My agents knew me as this ape!
@silvermoon82 @cwebber cutting edge gonnovations
@cwebber “great question! I know it might seem shocking to you that I have spent all of your savings on a jpeg of the worst picrew you’ve ever seen. Here is why it’s a genius investment: Not only is the token not fungible,

@cwebber I guess all it would take for the nft to take off again would be an inordinate amount of « autonomous agents » trading metaverse nft on the blockchain in one huge apocalyptic convergence
@cwebber They're deleting everyone else's apes.
@cwebber this is absolutely unhinged. i can hardly believe it
@cwebber like... have people completely lost it? are they not seeing all the stories about credentials being exfiltrated by LLMs? do they just not know what a credential is?? i am truly baffled

@vv @cwebber

I can tell you there are those inside of the AI bubble who have no fuckin' idea about the stories... so I created a repo to point them to, and you should see how mad some get when I show them it. I also very pointedly say it's for the investors (who are fueling the hype)...

@cwebber I'm not sure I can fathom a bigger self-own than that time Ape-cionados had some kind of party or concert where unsafe amounts of UV light from the "unsafe amounts of UV light" installation got many of them a painful headache / eye pain.

I really hope none of them got lasting damage, but damn that was incredible.

@cwebber I was just thinking about this the other day. We really need something new that's revoltingly stupid, but keeps the crackpots occupied as a form of harm reduction for the rest of us.
