"Number one, pause all processing until further notice"...

Because OpenClaw (well, all AI) is well known for following instructions correctly.

There are reasons to be careful indeed, but for me all instructions were followed nicely so far.

Yesterday I had Claude (in CC) do a large number of changes to my codebase using a bash script, even though I was in planning mode and in claude.md it says: Always first list the steps you're going to take before execution. It apologized of course... But I know how LLMs can be. I take that into account.

This is my pet peeve. All the disastrous failures get reported big, but the news doesn't report when a system just quitely does the task.

In this case the "disastrous failure" is even from a super careless "experiment" by a "competitor" that likes regulation.
