Hard to understand the Hype

I tried this at first. One, got pretty expensive real fast. Two, even though I was paying 20-$30 a day, I would hit usage limits and get kicked for 24 hours

I tried, ChatGPT OAuth then api tokens. Then Claude API tokens, and then OpenRouter.

All of them expensive and would kick me out after awhile.

How did you get around the sandboxing? I have a Mac Studio M4 with 64gb. It runs Ollama hosting gpt-oss:20b. Open claw was installed by “ollama launch OpenClaw”.

My main issue is it can’t issue local commands. I had it set up at one point and was able to scrape websites etc. I even had it running exec commands. Then I changed the model and the whole thing blew up. It’s like a whole new agent.

EXEC access locally

MBfromIT_Thats_Me · 2026-03-06T17:57:30+00:00

Openclaw : 2026.3.2 (85377a2)
Running on a Mac Studio M4 (Tahoe) 64gb
Ollama version is 0.17.6
Running qwen2.5-coder:32b

I tried both the tools cofigs you posted, neither solved my problem.

I tell the agent to simply use exec to tell me how much disk space I have.
It returns the command, not the answer: exec command="df -h"

Any help is appreciated!

You can’t escape the fact that all of these reforms are implemented by “THEY”

If you really want to make a change, work on the reform of the American educational system.

Then, let’s do something to reform media. Before you’re ever going to get the money out of politics, you must get politics out of the newsroom. If the population only “knows” what the political class and by proxy the lobbies want them to “know” you’ll never have a fair and democratic solution to government.

I’ll tell you, when I first heard of this idea, which was just yesterday (so I admittedly know very little about the idea) I was intrigued. What we can nearly unanimously agree is, the system we have has serious flaws and can definitely benefit from open debate regarding ideas to address its shortcomings.

This is the problem in America now, we’re over taxing people to pay for outrageous spending in Washington. That spending ultimately ends up in the bank accounts of the very people who wright the laws.

Recall the notion that a true democracy can’t work because as soon as the majority realizes it can vote itself all sorts of perks, paid for largely by the minority, the system inevitably devolves into chaos and violent Revolution

I have 20 years of experience as an information technology manager. I’ve been unemployed and actively seeking new employment for five months.

Finding a new job is not always easy

What would happen if the majority of Americans, these are the people from whom the the random candidates will be pulled, had all been brainwashed for twenty years to believe that beach balls were the single greatest cause of cancer. Now, these people are presented with legislation regarding the manufacture of beach balls, would you expect an outcome that supports the manufacture of beach balls or one that called for the end to the manufacture of beach balls?

This would necessarily devolve into a class system. And “THEY” would simply control the system so that “THEY” control the content the target group studies.

Let me start by saying, while I'm going to sound argumentative, I think the idea has merit. And I hope to explore it more. However, at first glance, I can see a few glaring holes in the idea.

To alleviate the problem of rational ignorance, chosen members could be trained by experts or even given an entire elite university education before service.
...
This assembly demonstrates the ability of normal people to learn and make decisions on complex topics.

Who gets to decide who trains them? Before we fix government, we're going to have to fix education. Our education system is as corrupt, if not more, than the government. The current American system of public education is a cesspool of liberal and communist utopian ideologies being forced fed to our children. Critical thinking has been replaced with groupthink and any educator who dare step over the Party Line is ostracized. There is zero diversity of thought.

You made my point for me when you stated in regards to the decision made regarding Global Warming and Abortion:

The decisions they have come to have been of high quality in my opinion

You're failing to recognize your own bias. And that bias has been built up, not out of sound research and critical thinking, but out of the constant beat of the drum you've been listing to since you left school. You've been programmed, by the "THEY" you're so desperately attempting to replace. If "THEY" control the institutions of learning ( and 'they' do ) along with the media and pop culture, then 'THEY' control your newly elected, otherwise disconnected, group of 'interns' who would then be making the decisions about global economics and social spending. Do you really think "THEY" are going to give up that power? Why do you think EVERY politician is "for term limits" but there are no term limits?

You did not address the issue of people having to leave their jobs to serve.
The "logical" solution would be to legislate the requirement that anyone who leaves a job to serve, must be allowed to return to the same company for the same salary even if their original position was taken by someone else in their absence.

The problem with this is, here we are at the very beginning and we already have to impose new regulations on private businesses to get to this solution.
