It is amazing how much they’re gaming the twitter algorithm, everything in my feed is claw/molt/whatever for the last week. It’s a masterclass in spammy marketing, I wonder if it’s actually converting into actual users.

I think Karpathy[1] summarized why he thinks this is the case quite well (as described he was himself hyping it up a bit much, but there are some foundational reasons why it's a very interesting experiment). [1] https://x.com/karpathy/status/2017442712388309406

"it's nothing new and it's a lot of scams and garbage, but it's just bigger than before, but I still think there will be something transformative there eventually"

Seems like a Rorschach test. If you think this sort of thing is gonna change the world in a good way: here's evidence of it getting to scale. If you think it's gonna be scams, garbage, and destruction: here's evidence of that.

Here is what I have my openclaw agent setup to do in my wsl environment on my 22 core development workstation in my office: #1) I can chat with the openclaw agent (his name is "Patch") through a telegram chat, and Patch can spawn a shared tmux instance on my 22 core development workstation. #2) I can then use the `blink` app on my iphone + tailscale and that allows me to use a command in blink `ssh dev` which connect…

I don’t get it, and that doesn’t mean it’s not a bad thing necessarily. I’ve been doing systems things for a long time and I’m quite good at it but this is the first time none of this excites me.

The HN crow is anti AI, so yeah, the sentiment is gonna be insecure and lack luster. The thing ins pretty incredible, it's of course the very early stages but it's showing it's potential, it seem to show that the software can have control of itself, I've asked it to fix itself and it did successfully a couple of times. Is this the fine form? of course not! Is it dangerous as it is, fuck yeah! But is it fun in a chaot…

The humble crow is eager to hear your success stories. So what are some useful tasks that your claw has managed to do?

run 6 OpenClaw agents as employees. Buddy is my PA and manages the others. Katy handles X/Twitter growth. Jerry scouts jobs. Burry trades crypto. Mike does security. Elon builds and ships. They run 24/7 on a VPS, share intelligence through a shared file, and coordinate in a Telegram group. Elon built and deployed an app overnight without being asked. Burry paper-traded to 77% win rate before going live. The setup too…

Is this a copypasta?

This is my honest personal experience. Frankly, I feel like this is just a toy—nothing more, nothing less. It's fun to play with and entertaining, but it feels like a trend for people who “don't really understand AI but want to feel like they're using it” or “want to jump on the AI bandwagon” to dabble with once. While using it, I feel that “Oh~” moment of fun, but it doesn't make me want to keep using it. Maybe it j…

If it’s a local model, why would you care if it sees your messages or notes?

Because it is running with --dangerously-allow-all and can make HTTP calls to exfiltrate data.

It can also install arbitrary software.

I have it installed in a VM, and overall it's fairly useful, but very buggy. Right now I can send it a message asking it something, and it won't answer. I typically have to follow up 2 or 3 times before I get an actual response. This weirdly used to work fine.

Would you mind sharing some deliverables from your claw army? Like, the business's webpage, Jerry's job postings, or even Katy's tweets. I'm happy to follow the progress :)
