The amount of negative posts about this on twitter is crazy, I've not seen any positive posts. Jealousy or something else?

I think people are sad that OpenClaw is now part of Big Ai.

After two weeks of viral posts, articles, and Mac Mini buying sprees, as it's been happening up to now for every AI product that was not an LLM, it kinda disappeared from the consciousness-- as well as from the tooling, probably--of people.

A couple of months ago, Gemini 3 came out and it was "over" for the other LLM providers, "Google did it again!", said many, but after a couple of weeks, it was all "Claude code is the end of the software engineer".

It could be (and in large part, is) an exciting--and unprecedented in its speed--technological development, but it is also all so tiresome.

Incredibly depressing comments in this thread. He keeps OpenClaw open. He gets to work on what he finds most exciting and helps reach as many people as possible. Inspiring, what dreams are made of really. Top comments are about money and misguided racism. Personally I'm excited to see what he can do with more resources, OpenClaw clearly has a lot of potential but also a lot of improvements needed for his mum to use i…

He said on Lex Fridman podcast that he has no intention of joining any company; that was a couple days ago.

Ah but that was before he saw the comp packages. But no judgement. The tool is still open source. Seems like a great outcome for everyone.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Where do you guys get the 1b exit from? I didn't see numbers yet.

It's AI. Take a sane number, add a 14,000x multiplier to that. And you'll only be one order of magnitude off in our current climate.

you can also take annualized profit run rate times negative 14,000.

It’s not like Anthropic or OpenAI were not working on “AI assistants” before OpenClaw, it’s pretty much the endgame as I can see it. This guy just single handedly released something useful (and very insecure) before anyone else. Although that’s impressive, I don’t see more than an acquisition of the hype by OpenAI.

I have not run OpenClaw and similar frameworks because of security concerns, but I enjoy the author's success, good for him. There are very few companies who I trust with my digital data and thus trust to host something like OpenClaw and run it on my behalf: American Express, Capital One, maybe Proton, and *maybe* Apple. I managed an AI lab team at Capital One and personally I trust them. I am for local compute, priv…

AMEX, Capital One and Apple are not even close to the top of the list of companies that I would trust with my digital data.

OpenClaw is literally the most poorly conceived and insecure AI software anyone has ever made. Its users have had OpenClaw spend thousands of dollars, and do various unwanted and irreversible things.

This fucking guy will fit right in at OpenAI.

flappy bird effect

We’re in a hype state where someone can “generate” millions of dollars in value in a month by making a meme prototype that scratches the itch just right, despite having no real competitive moat, application, value proposition or even semblance of a path to one.

The guy is creative, but this is really just following the well known pattern of acquiring/hiring bright minds if only to prevent your competition from doing the same.

Jacques, do you mind sharing your list of trusted companies? Thanks in advance.
