I program medical devices for a living and I have openclaw and nanobot running at home. AMA.
I don’t get all the downvotes, unless people misinterpreted your comment and assume you’re using it for medical devices. It’s open source and can be run with locally hosted, open weight models, so no harm in playing around with it as long as you don’t give it access to anything too risky.
I was sure this would happen, I was quite facetitious. OP's blanket statement just rubbed me the wrong way.
Why?
Because i want to work on meaningful things that benefit people directly.
Because i want to unterstand the capabilities and limitations of openclaw-like agents. LLMs aren't going away, better be proactive and learn what the hype is about.
here's hoping you are just trolling, because people with that kind of approach to medical devices should be in prison.
Believe it or not, this is the first time for me being suspected a troll, but I start to see the appeal when people are getting so worked up while being so far off the mark.
Sorry to disappoint that I am still on the loose. Then again prison is probably better than doing one more D-FMEA.
The poster clearly states one is at work and one is privately at home though?
there's no mention of "privately" (some people work at home) and with the introduction, poster is giving the opposite impression - ragebaiting at the very least.
Ah, doing your best to break the Therac-25's record, I see.
That's why unit and integration tests shouldn't be written by Copilot.
Why not, if copilot writes the code and tests, then the tests can be passed so much more easily!

What's your emergency "break glass" policy?
Is it a bottle of whiskey?
How you deal with critical vulnerabilities on your system? Do you work with high confidential data and have openclaw os those system? How many medical devices did you have to secure from mass incursion?
Firewalled VM with no personal or professional data on it. So no.
