FYI I think the article makes an opposite point unless I'm misinterpreting what you mean:

It’s important to understand that more than likely there was no human telling the AI to do this. Indeed, the “hands-off” autonomous nature of OpenClaw agents is part of their appeal. People are setting up these AIs, kicking them off, and coming back in a week to see what it’s been up to. Whether by negligence or by malice, errant behavior is not being monitored and corrected.

Yeah, a bit. But that still has more autonomy than usual with these Claw thing.

The decision to write the piece, the complaints, the tone and the decision to published it were initiated by the slopherder.
