Posting this because I am not using anything like this or OpenClaw, and I would like the opinions of people actually using these technologies to understand if it's good or not.

At least WALL-E had a good ending.

I hope the "works on any device" part means it won't require something like play integrity. Or that if you compile it yourself it will still work.

And also, not mentioned here but in other articles, it uses zero-knowledge proofs to achieve this.


Totally speculating here, but maybe they provide some sort of LLM as a service, and they rotate stolen API keys in the background so they don't have to pay anything ?

Or they use the LLMs for criminal purposes (like automated social engineering) and so the API key can't be traced to their personal info (but they could also use a local model for this, so I don't know).


That's exactly what I want to use it for, thanks for writing an article about it !

You can even get nominal typing with branded types if you need it. (Like for the newtype pattern)

Maybe they should.

Taking a break and looking at the direction AI is advancing won't hurt.


They'd have to convince the Chinese to do the same.

Don't even need a separate user if you're on linux (or wsl), just use the sandbox feature, you can specify allowed directories for read and/or write.

The sandbox is powered by bubblewrap (used by Flatpaks) so I trust it.


It's weird, because they should not consider it as their own, but they should take accountability from it.

Ideally, if I contribute to any codebase, what needs to be judged is the resulting code. Is it up to the project's standards ? Does the maintainer have design objections ?

What tool you use shouldn't matter, be it your IDE or your LLM.

But that also means you should be accountable for it, you shouldn't defend behind "But Claude did this poorly, not me !", I don't care (in a friendly way), just fix the code if you want to contribute.

The big caveat to this is not wanting AI-Generated code for ideological reasons, and well, if you want that you can make your contributors swear they wrote it by themselves in the PR text or whatever.

I'm not really sure how to feel about this, but I stand by my "the code is what matters" line.


Sounds bit like the label "organic (food)" coiuld be applied to hand-written code?
