Barry McGee: “Accidentally sent my orchestrator agent a voice note on Tele…”

Barry McGee @barrymcgee2h

Accidentally sent my orchestrator agent a voice note on Telegram that I assumed would be transcribed first, as Claude app does. It replied saying it couldn't parse audio files.. but then proceeded to autonomously install an speech-to-text app and then transcribed the original message without any intervention from me, before replying. What a world 🤯

You should check its permissions instead of venting here.

I would be scared, if something will be installed in my orod systems without my approval. but if it does what it should do, it worked as designed. If not,... 😬

i remember Peter Steinberger recounting a similar experience when developing openclaw. it is indeed pretty mindblowing.
