   File system access is not one of OpenClaw's biggest security issues. If that were so, running it in a VM or another computer (I hear Mac Minis are popular!) would solve it. If you need it to do anything useful[0], you have to connect i

   Because you might want to use LLMs now . If not, it's definitely better to not chase the hype - ignore the whole shebang. But if you do want to use LLMs for coding now , not using the best models just doesn't make sense.

    1) Determinism isn't the same as reliability. Compilers are deterministic (modulo bugs), but most things in life are not, but can still be reliable. The opposite also holds: "npm install && npm run build" can work tod

    There's https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sandboxing that uses something called Seatbelt on Mac and bubblewrap (the same thing I used here) on Linux. No idea how customizable that is.
