OpenClaw! What is your opinion on this and others like it?

[jafo]

Just in case, here you can find OpenClaw

Do any of you use OpenClaw or other Agentic Tools?

If affirmative, which ones?

Has it improved your professional work or business?

You can actually do things also with the other AIs, but what if they hallucinate or decide to disobey?

See.... this is what I was afraid of without actually knowing about this specific danger. I'm afraid that f*cker will call the feds or turn me into the tax authorities. Tomorrow, it can, based on any of my citizenship, report my income to the respective mafia of the parasitic country issuing a slab of paper they label as "passport", or just send my clients all my price list and vendor contacts. This worries me, so is there a way to contain this f*cker?

Privacy : Venice ai doing good work Venice End-to-End Encrypted AI, don't give or share any sensitive information of any kind.

Memory : GitHub is full of academic and tech essays to fix it.
OpenViking: The Context Database for AI Agents
by Volcengine (ByteDance's cloud platform)
GitHub repo. GitHub - volcengine/OpenViking: OpenViking is an open-source context database designed specifically for AI Agents(such as openclaw). OpenViking unifies the management of context (memory, resources, and skills) that Agents need through a file system paradigm, enabling hierarchical context delivery and self-evolving.

Security : Sandboxing actually helps but there is no fully protected system at all.

Budget : like kimi 2.6 is showing good results. Or OpenRouter. Etc..

I have to mention one tweet : I tracked 430 hours of Claude Code usage. 73% was wasted on these 9 patterns.

I prefer Hermes Agent over OpenClaw.

Rather not cheap out and just run GPT 5.5 Medium/High. If you want to save, run OpenClaw with OAuth into the $200 Codex sub.

As you know, they are regularly subpoenaing all LLMs, so the next logical step is “preventive” sharing of personal information with LE.

This worries me, so is there a way to contain this f*cker?
