Is this materially different than giving all files on your system 777 permissions?

Yes, because I can't read or modify your files over the internet just because you chmod'ed them to 777. But with Clawdbot, I can!

It's vastly different.

It's more (exactly?) like pulling a .sh file hosted on someone else's website and running it as root, except the contents of the file are generated by a LLM, no one reads them, and the owner of the website can change them without your knowledge.

That was my line to the CS lab supervisor for handing me the superuser password. Guess what? He didn’t budge. Probably a good thing.

Lesson - never trust a sophomore who can’t even trust themselves (to get overly excited and throw caution to the wind).

Clawdbot is a 100 sophomores knocking on your door asking for the keys.
