OpenClaw is innovative. It’s like a hybrid model that runs locally on your computer but has access to public LLMs through API keys. The “skills” can access MCP servers and/or instructions on how to handle local filesystems/applications. With local system access, OpenClaw can access your email, documents, files, system configuration, API keys, banking information, passwords, private encryption keys, all that. I would never give a system access to buy on Amazon without serious guardrails, but there are already cases of agents running amuck. It isn’t hard to see where this is going. OpenClaw partnered with OpenAI. OpenAI wants information on individual users to understand their emails, documents, how they use their systems, sites they visit, competitors they use, as much info as possible so it can train it’s models to be hyper-intelligent. The main goal seems to be advertising. OpenAI won’t just get into ads - it’ll reinvent it. It’s a trillion dollar idea but it needs a lot of personal information to be effective. The ads will be designed to tap into your dopamine receptors. You’ll feel like you need that product or service so you don’t get left behind and left out. Cars, fashion, financial service companies, pharmaceuticals, entertainment, vacations, etc… will have ads tailored to you crafted in a way to make you feel bad if you don’t get their product or their service. You’ll feel like you don’t love your kids, your job is going to let you go, your happiness isn’t complete unless you buy this thing. They’ll know so much about you that they’ll be able to craft messages that tap into your emotions and insecurities. That’s really dangerous. It’s used to be malware. Yuck. Then tracking cookies. Icky. Now it’s AI agents running autonomously with unfettered access so you can make a silly game or another to-do list or have it summarize your emails into a gamified to-do list. submitted by /u/Engineer_5983
