So OpenClaw is basically offering you a kernel module that can "seamlessly interact with any program" and "read and write to process memory as if it's part of the program." Cool, cool, cool. Nothing screams "trustworthy" like a kernel module that wants Ring 0 access to yeet itself into every process on your machine.

For context: Ring 0 is the highest privilege level in your CPU's protection rings—it's where the kernel lives and where literally everything is permitted. It's the nuclear launch codes of your computer. Giving something Ring 0 access is like handing a stranger the keys to your house, your car, and your bank account simultaneously.

The marketing speak here is chef's kiss: "No Messy API, No Latency, only results." Yeah, you know what else has no messy API? Malware. Rootkits also have fantastic latency. Security researchers everywhere just felt a disturbance in the force, like millions of sysadmins suddenly cried out in terror.

The "N" in the title? That's you frantically mashing the "No" button before this thing gets anywhere near your production environment.
