#732Facebook is the first to market with a polished openclaw? Good for them. I'm sure many others will criticize other aspects of Meta, and rightly so. But imagine using a Claw agent with zero tech support available
Might be more for enterprise, but Microsoft has had Scout for a couple months now too:

You're missing out, for better or worse.
As an engineer, the enjoyment from the process is not less important, or should I say more important, than the enjoyment from shipping a final product.
As an engineer, I know what I'm getting paid to deliver is the work product. I don't have too much attachment to any particular set of tools to get there.

Former meta prick, sorry employee: > Meta's strategy Meta has no strategy. The people that made llama work left two years ago. MSI are a bunch of charlatans who are trying to change the culutre and tooling of meta from the outside (I can see their point, trying to work outside of the defaults is incredibly hard.) its basically a bun fight, with all of your productive workers being poached by frontier labs, and everyo…
I disagree. The strategy was unclear until now. Spending billions on acquisitions and targeted hires, clearing ranks, playing catch-up on coding and multimodal, open sourcing weak models, the AI girlfriends. It was all very confusing. It is clear now. Alex and co have refocused Meta on Personal AGI or pAGI. The AI that runs your life. It feels appropriate for a social media company that hosts your photos and group ch…
People dont even trust meta with their personal data anymore but somehow they'll use it to run every aspect of their lives? This feels like another big failure in the making. Give me an AI that doesn't use my data at all and maybe I'll use it. I already have Google AI Mode for that. Does that steal my data too, maybe, but at least it doesn't have Metas history of abusing repeatedly. They burned that bridge so many times even non techies know not to trust Meta.

#736The world is destabilizing as climate change worsens and food prices rise. Do we really need more AI for these sort of uses? Maybe less AI less consumption?
Ok, Doomer

It will probably fail bc they can't compete with instant distribution to 3B people worldwide
Yep. But I suppose these are early forms of the product and who distributes the next, high PMF product the best is what matters. So I wouldn't write off others.
I use Instinct and I'm very happy with it so far. It has booked some restaurants for me, replied to some personal admin-related emails, and updates my progressive workout spreadsheet when i go to the gym. No real complaints so far.

#739I’ve desperately tried to use the Claude work, ChatGPT work, even OpenClaw, and I’ve yet to find a meaningful use of such an assistant. Maybe my life is too boring, but what I see here is a bunch of stuff that makes life more complicated. IF the things I use are well supported here, and IF I have manual repetitive tasks to delegate with them, it feels a bit like taking a nap while using FSD - I don’t trust an LLM to…
Just my use case: outside of software job, I have two young kids and we have two rentals to manage. So when I'm standing in line at a pharmacy or watching kid at practice, I'd like to continue a session about some xyz thing I need to do.
Re: Muse – Meta’s personal AI agent
#740I think Meta's strategy is to capture the 'normie-tier' of AI users. I know most of us here on HN track model releases quite frequently and discuss every parameter weight out of them, but most of the world is just... oblivious? I was discussing latest in tech with an accounting friend out of curiosity, and I kept talking about tiers of GPT-5.6 (Sol vs Terra vs Luna) and asked which one she used on the desktop 'Work'…
>I then realized that most people just stick with whatever default they're provided with, and it's a lot of them.
This is something I wish more people in tech understood, especially anyone who gets to decide the defaults for popular hardware and software.
The average consumer will never, ever change the defaults. So it's incredibly important that your product is an amazing experience with the default settings.
