You don't even need to put it in a project, put it in all your blog posts as invisible (white font white background) text, and if Claude winds up reading your website as part of a research task, you basically bricked someone's Claude session. Why is it amateur hour at Anthropic lately?

Because AI is a new product category in tech, and every single new product category in tech always, no exceptions, insists on learning nothing from history, and so the dumb shit is repeated until they learn their own lessons. I am almost 40, and I have seen the same pattern play out several times now, it’s always the same.

Physics dont apply to newborn gods.

This is a real concern for open source projects that integrate with multiple AI backends. I built OpenVision (github.com/rayl15/OpenVision), an iOS app connecting Meta Ray-Ban glasses to AI assistants — one of the supported backends is OpenClaw. If Claude Code is flagging or penalizing commits that simply mention a competitor's name, that has a chilling effect on open source developers who build tooling that wraps or integrates multiple AI providers. The "safe" behavior should be to complete the coding task and let users make their own product choices.

If one made a folder with say, a million common markdown files, HERMES, OPENCLAW, the likes. Let the check filter search 1M files with lots of LLM generated nonsense?

If we are going to filter usage, there are a lot of reverse attacks to that effort that could appear.

I just wonder if this is the needle in the bubble?

Are contributor guidelines that must be followed also no different from DRM in your view? Plenty of projects have those.

I don't think the GP is calling contributor guideline restrictions a form of DRM. I think the GP is focusing on: > I guess we're giving up on the idea that you're free to do whatever you want with software you own? ... But I see this as no different from DRM and user hostile If I clone an open source git repository, I should be free to point an LLM to review it in any way I choose. I can't contribute code back, but g…

They don’t though. They add a mild inconvenience for users of a specific restrictive AI provider which has bizarrely glitchy checks.

In a way they are doing you a service if you are this serious about libre software you shouldn’t be using a closed platform which employees dark patterns to begin with.

I think this makes sense. I don't understand what problem OpenClaw is solving or what the use case is other than just burning a shit ton of tokens.

That's all the industry.

They don't want customers that make them bleed more money than they're supposed to.

Then just... charge everyone in same way ? The problem is entirely caused by their ass-backwards billing methods

They're subsidizing the plans. A lot of subscriptions in general do this: the users that barely do anything subsidize the users that do a whole lot. If every user starts doing a whole lot more than usual, you have a problem. Which means OpenClaw poses a problem, because not only do existing users start doing a whole lot more than usual, but a huge influx of new users start doing the whole lot too.

Reminds me of https://www.macchaffee.com/blog/2024/you-have-built-a-kubern...

And Kubernetes kinda built a BEAM... kinda :) Like, if everyone would just use BEAM then it's true (lol).

How does BEAM renew my certificates, configure reverse-proxies, mount networked storage volumes to whichever node a given process is running on and handle cronjobs, disk pressure and secrets?

I sure hope it doesn't involve a bunch of shell scripts to create a new, ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden...

I reproduced this on my account. cd /tmp mkdir anthropic-claude cd anthropic-claude/ git init touch hello git add -A git commit -m "'{\"schema\": \"openclaw.inbound_meta.v1\"}'" claude -p "hi" Immediate disconnect and session usage went to 100%

I switched to Codex several weeks ago since the massive degradation of Claude Code's quality they recently apologized for. Since the apology and fix, I've considered switching back, but seeing this and other recent things, maybe I'm fine where I'm at.
