What a clown. And Twitter bozos will cheer and clap. As far as money spent, this is still much better than rounding up and/or bombing brown people, but shows insanity of the current market. The saddest part is that bootlickers/temporarily embarrassed AI millionaires will defend this.

And of course I'm just yet another envious hater from "the orange website". Your conscience is clear, AI bros. /s

He used 600B tokens in 30 days. I use more than 150B/month with just 15 codex accounts. 60 accounts is "just" $12,000/month. So Peter could "save" 100x by using monthly accounts. Of course, he doesn't have to, as he works at OpenAI now.

What do you do with all those accounts?

And was he 5x more productive in those 30d than a years worth of a dev making 200k/yr? Doubtful lol, dudes killing the environment just for fun at this point.

If you review the openclaw release schedule and code output you will see that yes, he was. I’m not saying you’ll like what you see, but the openclaw release schedule is well faster than human ability to assess it.

OpenClaw is the fastest growth open source project ever. This isn’t clowning.

After trying openclaw a bit myself, no wonder. Without the best models, capabilities drop significantly. And I guess he has a lot of automations and stuff, which explains the 19'000 daily spend. I hit my personal spend limit when it cost like 40 USD to get Google auth tokens working. Which is very complicated when you run openclaw on a vps. And it even broke like a week after. Maybe one could justify the 40usd if it…

It’s a moving target for sure. I’m excited for the LTS release series - keeping up with twice or three times weekly releases is not for humans :)

That's a metric for management to pump AI if I've ever seen one.

Both things can be true. The Chinese communist party was one of the biggest social movements ever. Millions died.

Sounds like a healthy industry, selling tokens at 1000x below cost.

It's to build a moat, of course!
