These are the same people who a few years ago made blogposts about their elaborate Notion (or Roam "Research") setups, and how it catalyzed them to... *checks notes* create blogposts about their elaborate Notion setups!
I want an OpenClaw that can find and call a carpenter, a plumber when I need him; take appointment for all the medical stuff (I do most of that online), pays the bills and make me a nice alarm when there's something wrong, order train tickets and book hotel when I need to. That would be really helpful.
What substantial and beneficial product has come of this author’s, or anybody’s, use of OpenClaw? What major problems of humanity have they chipped away at, let alone solved — and is there a net benefit once the negatives are taken into account?
> A manager shouldn’t get bogged down in the specifics—they should focus on the higher-level, abstract work. That’s what management really is. I don't know about this; or at least, in my experience, is not a what happens with good managers .
I guess best managers just develop the hunch and know when to do this and when to ask engineers for smallest details to potentially develop different solutions. You have to be technical enough to do this
Mind you, that regardless of your sentiment towards OpenClaw, not everyone is able to afford a sparse Mac Mini (especially given ram prices) and a ton of Claude tokens/super beefy GPU for local models to run this stuff. That's to the supposed "democratisation of knowledge and technology".
The same author had good things to say about the R1, a device you generally won't see many glowing reviews about. ( https://reorx.com/blog/rabbit-r1-the-upgraded-replacement-fo... ) Maybe it's unfair to judge an author's current opinion by their past opinion - but since the piece is ultimately an opinion based on their own experience I'm going to take it along a giant pile of salt that the author's standards for the…
Hah, I read that as well and made a big "hmmmmmmmmm" sound... The last time I talked to someone about OpenClaw and how it is helping them, they told me it tells them what their calendar has for them today or auto-tweets for them (i.e., non-human spam). The first is as simple as checking your calendar, and the second is blatant spam. Anyone found some good use cases beyond a better interface for AI code assistance?
I'm waiting for the grift!

> Anyone found some good use cases beyond a better interface for AI code assistance Well... no. But I do really like it. It's just an always-on Claude you can chat with in Telegram, that tries to keep context, that has access to a ton of stuff, and it can schedule wakeup times for itself.

Regarding prompt injection: it's possible to reduce the risk dramatically by: 1. Using opus4.6 or gpt5.2 (frontier models, better safety). These models are paranoid. 2. Restrict downstream tool usage and permissions for each agentic use case (programmatically, not as LLM instructions). 3. Avoid adding untrusted content in "user" or "system" channels - only use "tool". Adding tags like "Warning: Untrusted content" can…

This is the security equivalent of telling it to not make mistakes. > Restrict downstream tool usage and permissions for each agentic use case Reasonable, but you have to actually do this and not screw it up. > Harden the system according to state of the art security "Draw the rest of the owl" You're better off treating the system as fundamentally un…

>Somehow 90% of these posts don't actually link to the amazing projects that their author is supposedly building with AI. Maybe they don't feel like sharing yet another half working Javascript Sudoku Solver or yet another half working AI tool no one will ever use? Probably they feel amazed about what they accomplished but they feel the public won't feel the same.
