OpenClaw (ClawdBot) joins OpenAI

This is an Anthropic fumble and Clawdbot could have been theirs a long time ago instead of going to OpenAI who cleverly outdone them on marketing this fumble.

Anthropic just made themselves look incredibly bad with the way they handled that when they sent a cease and desist to OpenClaw which that back-fired right in their faces.

Mistakes have been made.

Exactly the same as the OpenCode drama, at this point OpenAI are just getting free customers from common sense.

Anthropic seem oddly focused on their moat being the app, rather than the underlying intelligence and model. Which is odd when Claude Claude is no better than all the other harnesses.

OpenClaw will be open as OpenAI.

On the Lex podcast, it seemed that Peter liked Mark Zuckerberg more than Sam Altman.

Maybe it was a move to make Sam come with overwhelming offer.

Amazing how bad Anthropic can miss the boat on this

Miss the boat on what? Idiotic agents with no sandboxing, with the door fully open for prompt injection purgatory? There's nothing interesting about this technology other than how dumb it is and how badly it will spam the internet (see https://theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-published-a-hit-piece-on... for how bad agent slop has gotten).
