This is my honest personal experience. Frankly, I feel like this is just a toy—nothing more, nothing less. It's fun to play with and entertaining, but it feels like a trend for people who “don't really understand AI but want to feel like they're using it” or “want to jump on the AI bandwagon” to dabble with once. While using it, I feel that “Oh~” moment of fun, but it doesn't make me want to keep using it. Maybe it just doesn't stick? And there are a few security issues that feel unsettling. Even if you run it entirely with local models, the fact that it could potentially see my iMessages or all my Obsidian and Notion notes is a bit off-putting. Still, it was fun. Personally, I'd describe it as “the difficult Ghibli profile picture hype”

If it’s a local model, why would you care if it sees your messages or notes?

Because it is running with --dangerously-allow-all and can make HTTP calls to exfiltrate data.

It can also install arbitrary software.

Note that nothing about that depends on it being a local or remote model, it was just less of a concern for local models in the past because most of them did not have tool calling. OpenClaw, for all the cool and flashy uses, is also basically an infinite generator for lethal trifecta problems because its whole pitch is combining your data with tools that can both read and write from the public internet.


As another clever person commented earlier, this also serves as a gateway, allowing me to view my local documents and leak them out at any time.

•Google has officially announced price adjustments for data transfer methods including CDN Interconnect, Direct Peering, and Carrier Peering, effective May 1, 2026. This increase doubles rates for North America, with significant adjustments also for Europe and Asia.

Thank you for your feedback. I would appreciate it if you could refer to the demo video for the actual operation. I have submitted this to YC 26, and the Chrome extension app is currently under review. It will be available for use once the review is complete. If it's okay with you, please send me your email address via LinkedIn message or similar, and I can share a version that can be run in developer mode. As a solo developer, feedback like this is incredibly valuable to me. Thank you so much for your comment.


Oh, first off, "Daughter's boyfriend"... You (may) don't like him.


They seem completely unaware of what has become of North Korea. It is an act of freezing time itself, a path beyond self-destruction into degeneration. The situation in Iran is no longer simply a matter of democratization or religion; it has become a question of common sense VS. senselessness.


Of course they are aware: the regime does not care


This is Cool. If this were on Kickstarter, I'd probably buy it.


You can buy it from Ali (or wherever) and just flash it though USB, but it won't be as plug and play as a finished product.


Happy New Year! schappim.


I get incredibly stressed out every time you call my writing "AI slop." And when my carefully crafted articles get flagged, it hurts even more. I'm not a native English speaker—you're right about that. When I write my articles, I rewrite and revise them over and over, agonizing over every detail. I can't pretend I don't use tools like Grammarly and AI writing assistants in that process. But I write these articles based on what I've actually experienced, staking my entire career on them. Maybe it looks like garbage (slop) to you. But for me, each piece represents a tremendous amount of thought and effort. You said I didn't major in accounting, but I actually have substantial knowledge in accounting and hold an MBA degree. I've also worked in the IT industry for over 10 years. Lately, every time I post something I've written on HN, I hear "AI slop," and honestly, it's been devastating.As this year comes to a close, I really needed to share this.

and, Happy New Year!


++ I'm a native Korean speaker, fluent in Japanese, learned English in high school and polished it during a college exchange program. Maybe that's part of why my writing feels "off" to native speakers?


Your English is excellent -- a bit too excellent, perhaps, when many native English speakers are inconsistent about grammar and spelling. Also, there's an informal, slightly sarcastic tone that people use online that differs from the typical AI output.


If you have time, I'd appreciate it if you could check my recent comment history. I got into a discussion where several users kept insisting I was using AI to write my responses. Even after I repeatedly explained I wasn't, they didn't believe me. That's what prompted this post.
