I do find it amusing when I consider people buying a Mac Mini for OpenClaw to run on as a security measure... and then granting OpenClaw on that Mac Mini access to their email and iMessage and suchlike.

(I hope people don't do that, but I expect they probably do.)

How about the corporate vice president of Microsoft Word?

It’s not going to be amusing when he gets hacked. Zero sense of responsibility.

I mean https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intell... just also happened.

eh, the point of the Mac is so that it can have its own iMessage and iCloud account

Then what’s the point of skills like apple-reminders? Isn’t the implication for a personal assistant styled OpenClaw setup that you allow it access to those tools on your behalf? Otherwise where is the benefit?

Maybe so you can communicate with it via tools like iMessage? Not so it can impersonate you. People will 100% be doing both though, security be damned.
