The other day, I saw a video on Instagram from someone who recently started offering AI workshops. I actually follow him because he is a property developer and always gives a good insight into how he handles legal disputes with authorities and other companies. He is a clever entrepreneur, but he has absolutely zero clue about IT. I don't think he could even set up an IMAP mailbox on his PC on his own.
But recently, he has discovered OpenClaw and Claude Code for himself and is busy conducting workshops about them. In these, he shows how OpenClaw virtually controls his entire computer. Email, invoices, browser, banking… Everything is controlled by his "AI employee."
I think you can set your watch by the time it takes for a bad actor to discover his channel and manage to—at the very least—cause him serious harm. You would only have to go to his live workshops and while he is in the restroom… Well… You know...
For me, however, this does not only mean a loss of control for security reasons, but above all because it shows that the guy has no structure in his business processes at all. If you need an AI agent to find a specific invoice or a document from an authority, then that actually only shows me that you have zero structure in your business.
Of course, AI can help structure chaos, but not by simply installing OpenClaw and letting it run wild with root permissions. By the way, it is also super inefficient and burns tokens like crazy.
My impression is that at the moment there are many people who previously had little understanding of IT but, in a state of total AI euphoria—almost like on drugs—delegate everything to some AI systems.
Is there actually a job title for people who help hacking victims with damage control?
