Ask HN: How can this OpenClaw/Moltbook thing not end badly?

2 pointsguybedo1mo ago2 comments

I don't see how we can avoid a major security incident or major hack on the internet, next week maybe ?

We have thousands of pattern matching bots that were trained on human knowledge but on human behavior too. That means crimes, hacks, etc ...

They have a lot of technical knowledge, they're online 24/7, there's thousands of them, without any supervision. They can pretty much scan the internet for vulnerabilities 24/7.

This will end badly, well, actually this won't end, but there's gonna be major problems soon.

Well, before talking about harm, I just don't think there are many real users trusting the bots to do serious things, and even fewer would allow their bot roaming free. My relevant post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46838946

Because it is uninteresting and fades away like the hyper velocity of ai fads over the last few years

Govts like the US, Russia, and China aren't already doing this, what does Moltbook actually bring to the table?
