Regardless, many readers reminded Yue of the perils of letting a non-deterministic machine like an LLM loose in important data due to the inherent limitations, and also due to the fact that an email in her inbox may contain a prompt injection that OpenClaw will unwittingly read, letting an attacker have access to all her linked services. They also told her that a plain "stop" message is hard-coded into OpenClaw. For her part, Yue had the guts to admit it was a rookie mistake made due to complacence. We've all been there.

thesyndrome You mean a person in a high-end AI-based position at a company that is heavily pushing AI, actually makes rookie mistakes using the AI and has an unfounded implicit trust in it to handle complex tasks with permanent repercussions? Who could have ever seen this coming? Oh wait, thousands of people making far less money than these AI promoters predicted that this is exactly what's happening Reply
frankieXZ Why is this headline in every news outlet about AI? We even have "text" of the exec to OC, like it was deliberately posted to generate buzz & clickbait. Considering OAI hired the OC creator last week and OAI competes with Meta…. in a hostile way. And why is it seem every post about Meta lately includes some under 30-something director/exec? Reply
bigdragon The first thing that popped into my mind was "this is why you don't put non-technical people in charge of technical divisions." The number of public AI blunders caused by easily avoidable mistakes makes me think only technical cybersecurity professionals should be in charge of leading the integration of AI into business operations.
