I don't use a container. I use a VM.
I'm not totally naive. I had the VM fairly hardened originally, but it proved to be inconvenient. I relaxed it so that processes on the VM can see other devices on the network.
There's definitely some risk to that.
Okay. You have sensible escape prevention.
Now this tool spreads. You help everyone get it set up. Someone hacks the site, injects a prompt lying about some event, maybe Drag Queen Story Hour in a place with lots of people enraged about it. Now there's chaos and confusion. Corrections chase the spread of misinformation.
Giving plausible examples could further your case. But at some point you have got to realize that other people have actually thought about these things are are willing to do this.
Imagine going up to everyone riding a motorcycle and telling them about the inherent dangers of their activity and to stop. It is obvious that the OP understands risk, has taken several strong steps to harden their system and isn’t worried about the school calendar getting hacked making an event that they would get notified about and that destroying their community somehow. I don’t even understand openclaws place. The exact same events would unfold without the ai in there at all.

You sound like my dad in the 90's, when it came to modems.
Same tool. Good uses. Bad uses. The bad doesn't negate the good (c.f. Bittorrent).
