There's always a viable solution. Just need to look+think hard enough. Sometimes someone just randomly happens on a solution too.

A system's purpose is what it does. The way to stop the attention stealing machine (Facebook, TikTok, etc) from stealing your attention is to turn it off. The way to stop the data stealing machine (OpenClaw) from stealing your data is to turn it off.

  • You don't have any control over any of the workings of Facebook, Tiktok, etc; you use them, you have to accept what you get. You have full control over the entire working of OpenClaw, and so can always improve it.

    • You have no control whatsoever. It's a non-deterministic program running under the control of one company on the hardware of another. The only thing you can control is whether or not you stuff all your data and agency into its widening maw.
