It's far worse than that. `curl | bash` is at least a one-time thing coming from a single source. An autonomous agent like OpenClaw is more like running `slack | bash` or `mail | bash`.

Is it? Are you sure?

    Yes? I assume this is a rhetorical question but I don't know what rhetoric it's intended to convey.

      I'm not the commentor, but you could get different results from the same curl command depending on what the server wants to give you at the time. The bash script can make additional curl calls or set up jobs that occur at other times.

      I'm sure both of you understand this. I'm guessing it's just semantics.
