I'm so sick of people talking about booking my flights or making reservations like that is something I need done on a daily basis. It's like maybe I need a flight book twice a year. A reservation booked once every 2 months. Why aren't we talking about things that we need done daily or multiple times a day? I hate that they're using reservations and flight booking as a baseline for what we need when so many people don't need that. They should be talking about things that need to be done multiple times a day as a task that has relevance... I'm just saying!!!

It’s honestly hard to believe the 'OpenClaw will stay open source' narrative given OpenAI's track record. Remember, they literally started as an open-source non-profit before pivoting to a closed-source business model that now even serves ads. The idea that OpenClaw will remain truly open source while being supported by them is, in my opinion, weapons-grade bulonium. My recommendation to absolutely everyone: keep a local copy of the source code right now. This thing is going to be locked behind a paywall or effectively neutered sooner than you think.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice ... and summarize it for me and save a text copy of the results to my two main emails addresses and clear the context cache

Matt, I've been following you since the beginning and I feel like I'm white-knuckling through the hockey-stick trajectory of Ai development. Especially with Seedance 2.0 on the horizon!

When Anthropic got involved I thought that it wouldn't end well for them. He said in interviews that he's friendly with people at all the major labs. And what he said in one interview was not that they sent him a legal letter but one or more of his friends at Anthropic called him up and said, yeah, you know, they're not really happy about this. Like a gentleman's agreement not like a legal issue. To me the thing that's really ironic is that one of the things that makes it go so well is not just using Claude AI as the driver for the Open Claw but also the whole concept of a soul is something he got from Anthropic Research, which they released in November. He said he got it a little earlier before it became public. Because he has friends there
