Oh, would you like to see something gross?

Brandon Wang's recent blog post, "A sane but extremely bull case on Clawdbot / OpenClaw"

You know it's bad when even Hacker News, a website funded by venture capital demon Mark Andreessen, calls him out:

Fine article but a very important fact comes in at the end โ€” the author has a human personal assistant. It doesn't fundamentally change anything they wrote, but it shows how far out of the ordinary this person is. They were a Thiel Fellow in 2020 and graduated from Phillips Exeter, roughly the most elite high school in the US.

Other comments point out his opulence: hotels charging $850 a night, reservations at expensive bay area restaurants, buying $80 gloves, and typing in lowercase because "sam altman types like this, so this is what is cool to the agi believers."
