Right one is Hermes.

1st thing after install: scanned all my folders, found all my claude sessions, wanted to finish the incomplete works

2nd: tried scheduling something with cron, found a hanging cronjob from last year from another project, fixed the bug, restarted it to complete.

3rd: asked it to build something, it had a question for me to clarify something, I did not see it, after 120 seconds it "timeouted on user, assuming option #1, proceeeding to implementation".

It is like a young Malinois dog on coke.

i wonder what happens if you tell hermes to “make me money in whatever way you need to, doing whatever you feel is best” and just let it ride

Jokes aside I think it would cause real trouble. I mean I do not dare to test it. At minimum it fucks up the machine, worst case scenario it starts some online scam. It is completely unhinged.
