Am I right to be a little concerned by the phrase "it'll go straight to the pirate bay"?

Not to be a narc or anything, but is OpenClaw liable to just perform illegal acts on your behalf just because it seemed like that's what you meant for it to do?


Seems like the only people using pirate bay in 2026 are "privacy obsessed" rich middle-aged guys.

I think they do it mostly to feel young and edgy.


I use it to get media for my family to watch on any tv using Plex. Sometimes I get books/manuals etc.

There's at least a couple of dozen instances right now, somewhere, getting very close to designing boutique chemical weapons.


If an organisation had any serious chance of moving the needle by staying on X, musk would simply find a reason to ban them. X leadership isn't interested in fair and balanced discussion.

It's not a command line argument, it's part of the title of a hackernews post.


I think the point they're making is that the failure mode of a waymo and automated air traffic control could look the same from an angle, but would have very different consequences.


>I want my comments judged by the contributions they make and do not make to the discussion

There used to be a sort of gentleman's agreement that I could spare the time to read and judge your comment because you went through the effort of writing it.


I feel like that would only change your opinion of the quote if you originally equated it to "Government bad!", which is a thoughtless thought.


I refuse to believe you sincerely think this is a salient point. Determinism was one of the fundamental axioms of software engineering.


I've made a couple with the Kumihimo technique, using cheap embroidery thread. The texture is similar to paracord, but you get your own pick of colors and patterns. I'm surprised at how durable they are.


Hopefully not. I'm impressed with the engineering, it is a technological achievement, but my only hope right now is that this tech plateaus pretty much immediately. I can't think of a single use-case that wouldn't be at best value-neutral, and at worst extremely harmful to the people interacting with it.


I don't think it's obnoxious to protect your trademark against a literal homophone operating in the same space as you. I'm confident a lot of people heard about "clawdbot" and assumed it was an anthropic product.
