Tangent to the tangent! I've started using it professionally because it signals "I wrote this by hand, not AI, so you can safely pay attention to it." Even though in the past I never would have done it. In work chats full of AI generated slop, it stands out.
Trivial to get AI to write in all lowercase, though.
Tangent: what is the appeal of the “no capitalization” writing style? I never know what message the author is intending to convey when I see all lower case. Normally I can ignore it, but the font on this blog makes it hard to distinguish where sentences start and end (the period is very small and faint).
Over the last 5 years or so I've been working on making my writing more direct. Less "five dollar words" and complex sentences. My natural voice is... prolix.
But great prose from great authors can compress a lot of meaning without any of that stuff. They can show restraint.
If I had to guess, no capitalization looks visually unassuming and off-the-cuff. Humble. Maybe it deflects some criticism, maybe it just helps with visual recognition that a piece of writing is more of a text message than an essay, so don't think too hard about it.
I just can't get over how none of this is new. 6 months ago I was running "summarize my work" tasks using linear and github mcps just using a cron task and claude code. The hype around openclaw is wild
The hype around OpenClaw is largely due to the large suite of command line utilities that tie deeply into Apple’s ecosystem as well as a ton of other systems.
I think that the hype will be short-lived as big tech improves their own AI assistants (Gemini, improved Siri, etc), but it’s nice to have a more open alternative.
OpenClaw just needs to focus on security before it can be taken more seriously.

I've seen this before, I know Sam Altman does it (or used to do it). That was a couple years ago. Hope it doesn't become a trend.
It comes from people growing up on smartphone chats where the kids apparently don’t care to press Shift.
....before I took a better look of the photo and realised it's frozen stuff - for the dedicated freezer - that opens like a chest (tada).
Well, that was fun...Maybe I should get a bit more sleep tonight!
Wait I'm ignorant, how long has OpenClaw/Clawdbot existed? This person listed like 6 months of activities that they offloaded to the bot, I thought this thing was pretty new.
But yeah, I can't imagine me getting used to a new tool to this degree and using it in so many ways in just a week.

Informal, casual, friendly
But where's the added value? You can book a meeting yourself. You can quickly add items to the freezer. Everything that was described in the article can be done in about the same amount of time as checking with Clawdbot. There are apps that track parcel delivery and support every courier service.
