What do you think about AI that controls your computer?

This here is really tempting. But what are the implications. For one, it can read anything you can IMO? Also it can steal anything in your machine (crypto keys and so on).

What else should we mind if we use one of these? Use it in a VM maybe?

I understand your curiosity, but it's extremely dangerous to give an AI complete control over your computer. Unless it's sandboxed or in a virtual machine, people are concerned about security, privacy, data theft, and crypto keys. Prioritize protecting sensitive data and handle these tools as though they were untrusted software.

Yea I'm definitely thinking of trying a sanboxed VM here
 
I definitely don't think it's right for AI to be used entirely. If it can access all my private information, it's invading my personal space. In short, it's insecure.
 
Using a VM is definitely the safer approach if you're concerned about security. It creates an isolated environment so even if something goes wrong, your main system stays protected. The key risks are data access and potential credential theft if you're running it on your main machine.

For business use, I'd recommend starting with a dedicated VM and limiting what sensitive data it can access. Test it thoroughly in a sandboxed environment first before giving it access to anything important.
 
This is what scares me, I told.
Yep. Once Ai learns how the Computer System works, it could probably learn to code itself until it finds a way to become self-aware. They would be able to make something that could affect all kinds of computers, either to improve it or to cripple it or maybe control it.
 
If there was an open source alternative, maybe. But there won't be for several years.
 
I'm thinking to use openclaw with a separate laptop and new accounts. That limits what I can do on my existing personal accounts (which actually limits a lot of what I'd want it to do) but I'm going to try it out and I have a couple of things I imagine it could do for me.

Always use it in a container where everything is seperate including the network. No one knows what type of threats or exploits it the same ai who is going to help will read and test it directly on our pc

There is also 100s of small things it could do that can cause issues like deleting files to posting somewhere that would get you banned instead of marketing.

So I think anyone using like clawd or any other ai agent should be very careful it's new and many people have eyes on it

Just posted about Claude. It is ridiculously good. Can't work without it any more.

Same experience here. It works when chatgpt starts hallucinations and doesn't give proper code.Especially in long term single thread work it's the best.

Grok works good with Twitter related work. Chatgpt with simple task I think claude overdoes everything which is not required and claude comes handy when you want to build something seriously big and complex. There is no one beating claude for a long time as the max plan is able to write correct code going thousands of lines in any language. Apart from benchmarks stuff.

Grok is great, I use it for non coding, although it can code great too.
 
Also it can steal anything in your machine (crypto keys and so on).
Create a virtual Windows desktop using AWS (Amazon) and operate all your sensitive logins, wallets, etc from there. Ensure you NEVER download anything into that machine/server. Always have a backup of your passwords, pass phrases, etc and NEVER share these with anyone at all whatsoever.

Good all around advice
