🦞 OpenClaw Oakland — The Penthouse Heist 🦞

The Lobster is back... and this time, we’re building in the sky. Can your agent break into a digital piggybank? If you believe agents are unsafe, show up and prove it.

All adversarial attacks will be documented, and we'll publish the work to help the broader community learn about the risk associated with emerging agentic platforms.

For those looking to show off something cool they're building, there will be a parallel track for "Best Idea Wins" - more details to follow.

This is hands-on.
This is agent execution.
This is where things ship.
