What is happening 100k stars in 15 days?

This agent repo is going nuts:

Moltbot is a personal AI assistant you run on your own devices. It answers you on the channels you already use (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Signal, iMessage, Microsoft Teams, WebChat), plus extension channels like BlueBubbles, Matrix, Zalo, and Zalo Personal. It can speak and listen on macOS/iOS/Android, and can render a live Canvas you control. The Gateway is just the control plane — the product is the assistant.

If you want a personal, single-user assistant that feels local, fast, and always-on, this is it.

Preferred setup: run the onboarding wizard (moltbot onboard). It walks through gateway, workspace, channels, and skills. The CLI wizard is the recommended path and works on macOS, Linux, and Windows (via WSL2; strongly recommended). Works with npm, pnpm, or bun. New install? Start here: Getting started

Anyone did try the repo, are they using bots to get stars or is the repo so viral? Just today it got 4000 stars, come on.

It should be full of security flaws. I get it, it runs autonomous in your pc and phone, but it needs full access to your systems, computers, social media, chats, emails, etc. According to github stars, 100k people are already using it!

This can´t be true, or can it?
