AI Agents Are Here, Chaos Included

Agentic AI has moved beyond simple chatbots, with powerful autonomous tools like OpenClaw and Claude Cowork now capable of deep system access and independent action. OpenClaw, formerly known as Moltbot and Clawdbot, surpassed 150,000 GitHub stars within days of launch. These tools can handle tasks like inbox triaging, auto-replies, and content curation, but their autonomy raises serious concerns. The rise of such agents has intensified debates around job security and the potential path toward artificial general intelligence.
