Be careful with Openclaw!
Openclaw is everywhere in the last few hours. What is it in one line? An AI that can do things on your computer because you type a prompt. This video does two things: if you already know it, I’m warning you about serious risks. If you don’t, here’s the quick version.
Openclaw, previously called Clawbot, is open source and turns words into actions. It doesn’t just answer like a chatbot, it executes. Files, browser, terminal, apps. A chatbot tells you how to rename 100 files. Openclaw renames them. A chatbot explains a web form. Openclaw opens the site, types, clicks, and submits.
To work, it needs real permissions: your files, your browser sessions, your accounts. That means it can make decisions for you. Many people say, “It’s open source, so it’s safe.” That’s wrong. Open source means visible code, not safe setup, not safe permissions, not safe behavior.
Here in New York, I spoke with people using it for real. One lost all files. Another lost access to key accounts, email included. The same sentence every time: “I didn’t click.”
With a chatbot, the mistake is a bad answer and you still decide what to do. With an agent, the mistake is an action. Permanent.
That’s why this series is called Artificial Decisions.
