Serious question for early adopters of Claws: what are you using them for? What things do you find them actually useful? Can you give examples of tasks where you actually save time and/or effort using them?
1. Yet another coding assistant (obviously)
2. Documenting stuff (that no one will read anyway)
3. Making reports
I'd be surprised if the OS vendors are not already playing with the idea and have working prototypes.

It was surprisingly difficult for me to understand the use case as well. Here is my best attempt at an elevator pitch: At present your memories are proprietary data in whichever LLM you use. ChatGPT keeps all your conversations and output and data forever. What if you don't like GPT 5.2? What if you want to use other models as well? Or use the best model for the job? OpenClaw gives you that ability. Your memories and…
> We already have examples of these agents creating an AI religion, an AI social network (which debated how to keep humans out using a human captcha), attempting to legally separate from their creators Didn’t these turn out to be fake and/or humans cosplaying as bots?

I saw simonw getting attacked for sharing his bloglink about it, only it was not even simonw who shared the link here.
I can understand the sentiment against Simon it's just to much of the same content over and over again but I handled it with just blacklisting him no need for personal attacks.
I don't understand why folks are buying Mac Minis specifically for this? Why not repurpose an old existing computer? Run Linux? What am I missing?
Where do you get the AI acceleration? Apple Silicon chips are decent AI perf for the price afaiu
I still don't understand what openclaw is or does and i've read the docs multiple times over. "Any OS gateway for AI agents across WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, and more. Send a message, get an agent response from your pocket. Plugins add Mattermost and more." "What is OpenClaw? OpenClaw is a self-hosted gateway that connects your favorite chat apps — WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, and more — to AI c…
It's a nice packaging, of a whole bunch of preexisting things. Agentic AI inside a nice sandbox container, running the model on a cron schedule, and with an ecosystem of ready made skills
Nothing new, but it made the tech easy for people to download and start using immediately. That's why you see so many people treating it as new - it's their first time hearing about such a setup

If you stop trying to find something like truly ontologically novel about it, you might be able to understand what it actually is. Okay it's not impressive. It's not incredible. It's not groundbreaking new technology. It is what it is.
It is being discussed as though it were ontologically novel, karpathy is saying it's something new and he is an authority, so to me there is something here that i am not seeing. I promise i am not trying to be a naysayer or poke holes, I am literally just trying to find out what the hell it is. I would install it but i don't want to install something without knowing what it does, and what is written in the docs is cl…
99% of the general AI utilizing public has no desire to build and maintain what you’re doing.

I hear about X being hateful but nobody wants to talk about how toxic BlueSky actually is. I had to stop going on there permanently. I dont think I have ever quit a social media platform as quickly and permanently as BlueSky.
This is also a strawman. Both platforms are irrelevant to this discussion.

In my opinion people are fixating a little too much over the automation part, maybe because most people don't have a lot of experience with delegation... I mean, a VP worth his salt isn't generally having critical emails drafted and sent on his behalf without his review. It happens with unimportant emails, but with the stuff that really impacts the business far less often, unless he has found someone really, really g…
You might be right, but not for long. Once my agent is interacting directly with your agent (as opposed to doing drafts of your work on your behalf), expectations will shift to 24/7 operation.
Once we have agents openly do things on our behalf but not in our voice, it will be interesting to see how of subpar performance or bad etiquette gets accepted just because agents don't have an individual personal reputation to maintain
