This is a great example of how silly this whole thing is. There’s next to nothing to these claws. Turns out that if you give an llm the ability to call APIs they will.

What’s most shocking to me about the whole OpenClaw hype is how little people in tech seem to know about computers…

It’s like most of the industry hasn’t ever looked any deeper than their node_modules folder.

I've been developing one of these in the past few days, and this is like saying "this is a great example of how silly the whole thing is, there's next to nothing to cars" because you saw a piece of plywood with four gaskets nailed to it.

If you want a personal assistant to work well, there's a whole lot to it.

If it turns out that there is significant value in everyone having their own personal agent running 24/7, we might end up needing a lot more compute than anticipated.

(It’s a big if! I’m not convinced about that myself, but it’s worth considering that possibility.)
