Nothing humbles you like telling your Open Clock confirm before acting and watching it speedrun deleting your inbox. I couldn't stop it from my phone. I had to run to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb. And we could see that it's like, it just goes through and is checking how many, um, how many emails are left, more old stuff, get the remaining. It's basically going through and deleting. And she's saying, don't do that. Stop doing that. Don't do anything. Stop Open Clock. Like basically yelling it. Uh, it's funny because Peter Steinberger, the guy who created OpenClass, says if you just do /stop, it'll stop it. Um, but she basically had to run to her computer and get it to stop doing that. Well, that's, you know, exhibit number one of why more managed agents are probably a better idea if you don't totally know how to use this stuff.
