- i have no idea why even HN is giving openclaw so much weightage - i literally dont even posts that talk about it! - this is the first time i opened one to come and tell someone needs to do a case study or deep dive into who is marketing it like crazy and why

It works very well on a cloud hosted Ubuntu server. You only put things there within lobster reach that would not destroy you if leaked.

You decide what to put with the lobster.

Fair point, wrong place. The article goes out of its way to explain it's bad for people who don't know what they're doing.

However I think there's going to be very few of that kind of people at the xda developers forum :) Or here, for that matter. This message would be better spread at more mainstream sites.

Article author here: you'd be surprised! XDA these days has quite a bit of mainstream outreach, and this article has been getting shared on some socials. Even saw it getting passed around on LinkedIn.

Oh ok I didn't realise. I just know it as a forum where custom rom developers hang out.

How is this different from any other agentic harness?

Opencast is a very capable … gun. You can really do amazing stuff with it, but it can be incredibly damaging.
