We're in the same era where lots of peoples' installation guides for the software they want people to use is essentially boiled down to "sudo curl | bash" and/or just "blindly install this thing with 37 npm dependencies", so I'm not surprised in the slightest.

But wait, hold my beer, now we've got people turning openclaw type tools loose in their systems to do things as sudo or install software packages from supply-chain-attack vulnerable repositories with no human intervention whatsoever!

All these developments show that:

1) Despite what people say about security and privacy, most are willing sacrifice both for the sake of potential convenience

2) Our priorities for the past decades have been wrong, or the times have changed and we should reevaluate them all

As the Dead Kennedys opined: "Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death"! [1]

OpenClaw even has a readwrite 1Password plugin.
I wonder how long it will be until somebody implements a thing like a camera pointed at a fixed mount Android phone with a rubber finger to open the Google authenticator app
