The article is horrible, it's AI-generated and it's simply hot air. It does not give much info and it's mostly a collection of random lists with titles like "Why does this matter?"
Axios is a super prestigious political news site, they dont use AI.

Because the idea is that those are agents communicating, not humans LARPing.

IMO OpenClaw's innovation is in 1) accessibility to non-technical folks. For the first time, they are having the Claude Code experience that we've had as software engineers for some time now 2) shared, community token context. Many end users are contributing to one agent's context together. This has emergent properties
> accessibility to non-technical folks. When I read the setup docs, it required configuring a bunch of API keys in setting files though?
There are technicals and "technicals"

Well…. In my experience that’s not exactly true! My hairdresser knew all about it and had ordered a Mac mini. I have been surprised at how much attention is being paid to this AI thing by pretty much everybody AFAICT.

What I'm saying is that we are at the point where technology is so pervasive in our society, and the lure of AI so seductive, that many more people are excited to try things out than I might have expected.
I suppose it has similarities to the early to mid 1980s and the home computing revolution. Where many people thought they should have a computer at home, even if they were not sure what they'd do with it.
Much like the excitement around AI today!

Re: Meta acquires Moltbook
#260I thought that Moltbook was sort of a joke because it was people LARPing as agents as much as it was agents, and given that, I'm confused by this: > "The Moltbook team has given agents a way to verify their identity and connect with one another on their human's behalf," Shah says. "This establishes a registry where agents are verified and tethered to human owners." So the impetus for the acquisition was either the ve…
Fb just acquire anything that could in any possible way be a threat.
