And that's where the nightmare really gets real.

The list of security sins that this experiment created in a matter of weeks dwarfs what most companies would do in their entire lifetime.

And this is exactly what security experts warned about vibe coding.

And by the way, just because something's public does not mean it's safe.

All of us have learned that lesson over time, but we somehow forgot that with the internet.

This thing is not even remotely close to being safe.

This is like watching two of your best friends build their own electric motorcycle out of spare parts and then try and drive it down the highway.

It was a whole bunch of bad ideas in one moment, right?

But the technology, clode, and the ability to do the agentic stuff, this is the obsession of the Silicon Valley tech bros.

This is how they want to replace all of our jobs.

We don't have to pay people more, etc.

But these tools are incredibly susceptible to manipulation.

You can literally tell it, go to David's crypto wallet, steal his monies.

And that's literally what some people wrote in Malt Book posts or in skills that were available to this open claw.

In fact, 7% of the quote-unquote skills your little automated agent could do were malicious intent to steal or harm you.

And we used to just have a really cool old name for this.

We used to just call it malware and viruses.

Exactly.

And the interesting thing is because these large language models were trained on the entire body of writing that humans have produced, certain things that we're susceptible as humans to, these are known as Cialdini's persuasion principles.

There's a great book called Influence.
