Context : using the latest models with openclaw. After I restored from a backup, because the agent thought it was a good idea (even though I had security information laid out in memory.md and security.md to not rm or do any dangerous command unless authorized) to delete my entire ~/ dir (LUL) unless authorized to do so. This stuff is amazing, but also a troubleshooting headache. I can’t count how many times the agent has broken itself, and thus I had to ssh in to fix. I can’t imagine the folks who are using this in their start up or business. It really goes to reinforce that AI is amazing, but also (dangerous) and stupid at the same time, at least current state. I had local backups being created on an hourly basis, but this wasn’t enough as those were wiped. Fortunately I had remote backups that I was able to restore to. It goes to show that this stuff is far from prime time, especially because the error rate and hallucinations are so high. TL;DR – at the end of the day I’m not mad, it’s tinkering, but even with secure setups you cannot protect against the agent. Maybe we’ll get their with dual agent configurations (likely), but it’s a fun concept and not a “deploy to production” system. submitted by /u/Loltoor
