Two things, the experiment you are referring to was specifically designed to deceive whereas AI vulnerabilities would just be simple bugs.
Secondly, the security requirements of the Linux Kernel are way more important/stringent than Lutris, which has no special access & is often even further sandboxed if installed via Flatpak.
I just don't see this as an issue until it proves to be one. People are always welcome to fork a "pure" version.
In my original comment, I was specifically referring to OpenClaw. Given that it doesn’t live in a vacuum and can be influenced with prompt injection, it's not safe to assume that whatever bugs it creates aren't specifically designed to deceive.
Sure, but that's not the point I was trying to make. You said that I don't trust the guy to audit the code for malicious intent before committing and I gave you a reason why nobody should: if multiple people with decades of experience in a specialized domain can't catch vulnerabilities disguised as subtle bugs, one guy who isn't scrutinizing the changes nearly as hard definitely won't.
