The overlap between the target audience for openclaw in spite of its attack surface, and the audience that considers a mac mini to be a sandbox while handing over the keys to their digital life is a Venn Eclipse.
- gos9 7mo agoHow is a dedicated Mac not a sandbox?
- KaiserPro 7mo agoBecause the bit thats import is your context (ie email, credit card, privileged data), not the place where you do the execution. Having a separate machine thats isolated is all well and good, but that doesn't protect you from someone convincing your openclaw to give them your credit card.
- nickthegreek 7mo agoIt doesn’t have to have a credit card number to be useful. I don’t need it to purchase anything. Mine has its own icloud and google account. I can share calendars to it. You can donate same with email or shared lists. There are ways of using openclaw without yolo’ing all your secrets.
- grey-area 7mo agoBut it does need to know personal info to be useful as an agent (calendars, email). The danger is that it’s a hassle to vet every bit of data, and to be useful it needs to know a lot, leading to oversharing, and if you use it long enough you will leak secrets that you didn’t want to leak.
