Most people have bad taste. Most developers are not able to discern quality from bullshit. You see it every day. People enslaved by the news, by religion, by politics. OpenClaw is a fad like most of the other garbage out there. It uses 1000x the tokens of a normal AI user so obviously the AI wholesalers are paying attention. They want AI adoption and to maximize token usage. Remember the crypto bros punting web 3.0 as the world changing idea of the century? Well now it's easy to see that was garbage and it will be easy to see this paradigm of giving an insecure system access to all your shit is a bad idea in the near future.

You know I was just thinking that what OpenAI needs to really succeed is someone who knows how to haphazardly throw together a wildly irresponsible, insecure, and unsafe tool that gets really popular really quickly.
No bad deed goes unrewarded
Founder? Didn’t some person just vibe code some ai silliness?
OpenClaw viber?
And isn’t this not a unique idea? Surely OpenAI had something in the works already.
OpenAI is reaching the point where they're big enough that things move slowly. They might have been working on something like this but it was obviously not done because they were thinking about security implications.
The ClawdBot guy did not care about security implications and just shipped a terrifying piece of software because he could
Break fast and move things!
I love how half the replies are just people malding because the 4o model is no longer available for them to run their AI girlfriend on
That's really too bad, he sounded kind of cool.
In the end, they all sell out.
