Once you see how much crap they’re running to police the agents on the repo, you’ll ‘get’ the spend https://x.com/steipete/status/2055405041843052792 I won’t lie, if I had the access to this, I’d do the same exact thing.

> People freaking out over my AI spend. What nobody sees: Part of what excites me so much about working on OpenClaw is that I'm trying to answer the question:

How would we build software in the future if tokens don't matter?

[...]

All that automation allows us to run this project extremely lean.

Good thing we cleared that up. Another gem from the "if we had self-driving cars, we could just have them cruise on the roads endlessly when not in use and get rid of so much parking space!" school of resource management...

If.

You think humans are going to be writing code in 100 years?

Of course they will, just like humans are still knitting sweaters by hand even after the invention of the power loom.

Probably trying to fix their broken personal website with the half of the links there not working at all.

Is my website broken?

Your website seemed fine to me I didn't try every link though

This. If I go up to my boss and say “I spent $10000 but it only cost us $1000” then I spent $1000.

Depends on elasticity, if you could have easily sold that $1000 worth of product and made $10k, then you spent $10k.

No. Then you missed the opportunity to make 9k.
