Memory. I have built up so many scripts and crons and integrated little programs and memories with open claw it would be difficult to migrate to some other system. System of record and all.

Considering you have built them all in last few weeks, it should not be that difficult and no reason other systems won't reuse same.

Exactly! The whole point of personal agents is that the data is yours and it's where you want it not in someone's cloud. What harness you use to work with this should be a matter of preference and not one of lock in.

> You can switch models multiple times (online/proprietary, open weight, local), but you have one UI : OpenClaw. It’s only been a couple months. I guarantee people will be switching apps as others become the new hot thing. We saw the same claims when Cursor was popular. Same claims when Claude Code was the current topic. Users are changing their app layer all the time and trying new things.

You can use OpenClaw to migrate these scripts off OpenClaw.

I'm happy for the guy, but am I jealous as well? Well yes, and that's perfectly human.

We have someone who vibe coded software with major security vulnerabilities. This is reported by many folks

We also have someone who vibecoded without reading any of the code. This is self admitted by this person.

We don't know how much of the github stars are bought. We don't know how many twitter followings/tweets are bought.

Then after a bunch of podcasts and interviews, this person gets hired by a big tech company. Would you hire someone who never read any if the code that they've developed? Well, this is what happened here.

In this timeline, I'm not sure I find anything inspiring here. It's telling me that I should rather focus on getting viral/lucky to get a shot at "success". Maybe I should network better to get "successful". I shouldn't be focusing on writing good code or good enough agents. I shouldn't write secure software, instead I should write softwares that can go viral instead. Are companies hiring for vitality or merit these days? What is even happening here?

So am I jealous, yes because this timeline makes no sense as a software engineer. But am I happy for the guy, yeah I also want to make lots of money someday.

It has a heartbeat operation and you can message it via messaging apps. Instead of going to your computer and launching claude code to have it do something, or setting up cron jobs to do things, you can message it from your phone whenever you have an idea and it can set some stuff up in the background or setup a scheduled report on its own, etc. So it's not that it has to be running and generating tokens 24/7, it's j…

AI companies must hate this right? Because they're selling tokens at a loss?

Bold of you to assume profitability is one of their KPIs

Are there any with a credible approach to security, privacy and prompt injections?

Does any credible approach to prompt injection even exist?

Anyone who figures out a reliable solution would probably never have to work again.

Going by how insanely viral OpenClaw has been on X, I don’t think any of the stars were bought

I bet they did not invert a binary tree on the whiteboard, nor answered how many golf balls fit into a plane.
