For the lawyers interested in @openclaw here are my uses so far using our own homelab: 1. Hooked up GSC and dataforseo to run daily analytics on my firm’s website: daimonlegal.com. Identifies keyword opps, website health and traffic. 2. Daily digest of news, articles and vibe-check across hacker news, X, Reddit and blog subscriptions sent to its own email account. 3. Self hosted RSS feeds for self hosted Omnivore reader. Can spin up new custom feeds in minutes even when site/blog/email not RSS friendly. 4. Travel and event planner. Feed it my conference schedule and runs a structured event planning process starting four weeks out from the event with increasing frequency as the event approaches. Does deep dive on all speakers and identifies interesting side events and talks. Full end-to-end process with calendar entries that I migrate across to my main calendar. 4. On-the-road restaurant and cafe suggestions based on Google reviews and foodie blogs including Google Maps routing and links. 5. Create a full holiday plan and schedule with deep dive into places to visit for holidays. Openclaw has saved my preferences so whenever I need an update or create a new plan, it knows exactly what to look for. 6. Pulls legislative updates from official sources and runs a summary of latest news on bills and interesting developments in the law. You can easily run this with a cron job so you can check every single day and get alerts when updates appear. 7. Runs my bullshit detector over spurious claims I come across on the Internet. Knows my preferences and my writing style. 8. Finds interesting journal articles and academic research and converts files and websites into readable markdown content then posts to my self-hosted obsidian vault and self-hosted @getoutline app. (love you guys). OSS for the win. 10. Helps me manage my self-hosted Twenty CRM with on the go capabilities that are not possible otherwise. It’s like having a legal secretary who updates my diary, calendar and contact list who also happens to have a PhD in software engineering, DevOps and opsec and can build software solutions on the fly. Runs 24/7 with minimal power draw on a VM in the home lab. Has segregated network, file system and resources. Connect via tailscale only. Caveat: you have to be prepared to do some initial groundwork and problem-solving and there are technical/opsec elements to Openclaw too. All are manageable for someone with patience and willingness to learn. Amazing community has rallied around the project and the Discord is super helpful and fun place to hang out.

@Aric333 @gothburz @barnes_law CZ. That gave WLFI access to enough liquidity to dump on retail.

@gothburz @barnes_law The worst of them is probably World Liberty Financial, because it's not just a grift. It's a self-dealing loop with a hidden kill switch that insiders control while retail investors get wiped out. That's not crypto. That's fraud.

I have posted multiple confessions about World Liberty Financial over the past few days. 4 crypto products. 3 presidential pardons. $1 billion extracted. $3.87 billion in retail losses. 600,000 wallets. 110 footnotes. Every claim sourced. Every link cited. The definitive accounting of the Trump family's crypto operation — from the team page to the pardons to the stablecoin tollbooth to the $18.5 million dinner seat. Every event unrelated. Now on substack 👇

@miroburn @moo9000 I haven’t noticed any measurable regression. Daily user of Opus 4.6

Bądź jak Claude. 1. Dajesz ludziom Opus 4.6 2. Ludzie kochają. 3. Przez 2 miesiące pogarszasz Opus 4.6 4. Dajesz Opus 4.6 normalny i nazywasz Opus 4.7. 5. Ludzie kochają. To je model biznesowy.

As one of the self-hosted users of cal app, firstly thank you to you and the broader dev community who helped build the app. We love it. But it’s way too early to say open source is dead. Software, like all forms of human expression, desires to be free. And AI will speed that up like never before.

Open source is dead. That’s not a statement we ever thought we’d make. @calcom was built on open source. It shaped our product, our community, and our growth. But the world has changed faster than our principles could keep up. AI has fundamentally altered the security landscape. What once required time, expertise, and intent can now be automated at scale. Code is no longer just read. It is scanned, mapped, and exploited. Near zero cost. In that world, transparency becomes exposure. Especially at scale. After a lot of deliberation, we’ve made the decision to close the core @calcom codebase. This is not a rejection of what open source gave us. It’s a response to what risks AI is making possible. We’re still supporting builders, releasing the core code under a new MIT-licensed open source project called cal. diy for hobbyists and tinkerers, but our priority now is simple: Protecting our customers and community at all costs. This may not be the most popular call. But we believe many companies will come to the same conclusion. My full explanation below ↓

Not trying hard enough. Hook up Paperclip to one of your channels, spin up a complete company with your openclaw agent as CEO reporting back into the channel, and give the paperclip company something to chew on. Better yet, get them working on round the clock tasks/reports you need. You’ll zero out your account in no time.

The OpenAI $100 pro plan is frustrating. I got it with the intention of mostly using it for agentic non-coding stuff (I use my GitHub Copilot Pro+ for coding), but because the quota is so generous I don't manage to utilise much of it. And that makes me feel like a loser. 😢

I built my own simple python bridge to my Claude Code Max subscription and then took the best ideas from Hermes and Open Claw and added memory, tools and QMD search. For multi agentic workflows, I use Paperclip hooked up to the bridge so that I can communicate with paper clip through a custom CEO agent. It works great. It’s less difficult than you would think, especially with Claude code helping with the build.

I know OpenClaw isn't part of OpenAI but this feels like a mini-crisis for OpenAI if the GPT integration doesn't improve soon. The bar is GPT needs to be just as good if not better for OpenClaw as Opus.

@functi0nZer0 9 quid? Is that thing wrapped in gold leaf?

A close second might be having to ask someone to remove the anti-theft security tag from your £9 tub of Lurpak butter

There's been a lot of chatter online lately about how the UK is still a high trust society, but for my money there truly is no greater humiliation ritual here than trying to wave down someone at the supermarket checkout to ask them to give you a plastic bag (cost: ~40p)

With negotiations in the news, I’m reminded of that important rule of life: never negotiate with idiots. They’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

@rileybrown I can’t believe you still can’t collaborate on docs inline on Claude Deaktop.

Codex App > Claude Desktop App

@ZachWitkoff @gothburz @inversebrah - this one’s for the history books. If not, will still make a great Exhibit A at the trial.

Peter, you lack a basic understanding of the facts here. There are too many to debunk but I’ll start with a few 1. You are conflating world liberty and the trump meme coin— they are completely unrelated 2. World Liberty has zero association with fight fight fight or CIC digital 3. Our early holders bought at $.015 and $.05, the price today is $.08 4. We don’t make “trading fees” our main product is a stablecoin which generates yield from treasury holdings. Our stablecoin is the second biggest genius compliant stable coin in terms of volume and market cap. Not a small feat. You should try to do a little more research before writing a 25 paragraph tweet.

I am a Web3 Ambassador at World Liberty Financial. There are 12 of us on the team page. 4 are named Trump. 3 are named Witkoff. The page calls us "the passionate minds shaping the future of finance." 600,000 wallets bought our memecoin. They lost $3.87 billion. The family collected $350 million in trading fees. It launched 3 days before the inauguration. 80% of the supply went to CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC. I did not choose the names. I designed the allocation, the vesting, the timing, and the distance between the product and the President. The distance is my best work. I am the reason these events are unrelated. World Liberty Financial sends 75 cents of every dollar to DT Marks DEFI LLC. That is the family entity. Zero capital contributed. Zero liability assumed. I wrote this into the Gold Paper. Page 14. The lawyers bound it in white leather. The binding cost more than the due diligence. Justin Sun invested $75 million. He was facing SEC fraud charges. The SEC dropped the case. He is now our advisor. These events are unrelated. Changpeng Zhao pleaded guilty to federal money laundering violations. He received a presidential pardon. The SEC dropped its lawsuit against his exchange the same week we listed our stablecoin. Then the exchange settled a $2 billion deal entirely in that stablecoin. These events are unrelated. Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed of BitMEX pleaded guilty to Bank Secrecy Act violations. All 3 received presidential pardons. Then the company itself was pardoned. $100 million in fines. Gone. An American first. These events are unrelated. Sheikh Tahnoun of Abu Dhabi paid $500 million for a 49% stake that was never publicly disclosed. Then the administration approved semiconductor exports to his companies over national security objections. These events are unrelated. Everything is unrelated. I track the unrelatedness on a dashboard I built. The dashboard has 7 columns now. I am proud of the dashboard. On May 22nd, 220 people paid a combined $148 million to eat dinner with the America First president. Over half were foreign nationals. Justin Sun paid $18.5 million for the first seat. He visited the Executive Office Building the day before. I designed the seating chart. I put it on the Investor Confidence page. That page is doing well. The team page lists 3 Witkoffs. All 3 are Co-Founders. Steven Witkoff is the President's Middle East envoy. He testified as a character witness at the President's fraud trial. His son Zach runs the crypto operation. His son Alex is also a Co-Founder. I have not been told what Alex co-founded. The father runs the diplomacy. The sons run the platform. The family runs both. That is organizational efficiency. Barron is 19. His title is Web3 Ambassador. The same as mine. Donald Jr. called the conflicts of interest "complete nonsense." Eric launched a Bitcoin mining company called American Bitcoin. America First. The mining partner is Hut 8. Hut 8 was founded in Canada. America First means the name. On March 6th, the President signed Executive Order 14233 creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The order directs the government to hold Bitcoin. The President's family holds billions in Bitcoin. The executive order appreciates the President's assets by presidential decree. I did not write the executive order. I made sure it looked unrelated to the portfolio. Trump Media put $2 billion of Bitcoin on its balance sheet. The ticker symbol is DJT. His initials. The press secretary said it is absurd to insinuate the President profits off the presidency. Forbes calculated his crypto holdings exceed the combined value of Mar-a-Lago and Trump Tower. I would call that absurd too. That is my job. 600,000 wallets bought in. 1 of them asked why she could not withdraw her funds. I told her the protocol was experiencing dynamic market conditions. She asked what that meant. I sent her the Gold Paper. She said she had read the Gold Paper. I muted her channel. Dynamic means the conditions change. The condition that changed was her access. A congressman called us the world's most corrupt crypto startup operation. We put it on a coffee mug. Ironic merchandise. $45. The revenue split on the mug is also 75/25. My own tokens vest on a different schedule. I wrote that schedule. That is not in the Gold Paper. The memecoin funds the family. The family funds the platform. The platform funds the stablecoin. The stablecoin funds the deals. The deals require the pardons. The pardons free the partners. The partners fund the platform. The President signs the executive orders. The executive orders inflate the assets. The assets fund the family. I am the reason these events are unrelated.

@gothburz Our Gold Paper uses the words “innovate” and “innovation” zero times. We told the truth. Our actual innovation was a new class of diplomatic immunity offered to convicted criminals. That innovation was not included in the Gold Paper. Keeping it out was some of my best work.

@hibakod @WarrenInTheBuff @OpenRouter @opencode If I did that, I'd be spending more than that in a day given how many things I've got running in parallel.

I pay $200/mo for codex and $200/mo for cursor, use them both daily, and think AI is pretty dumb. Don't get me wrong, it's insane we have something this awesomely dumb to work with, but it's still pretty dumb. I've definitely found ways to reign in the dumb and use it in a highly productive manner (I'd be dumb to pay this much if i hadn't) but if I met this thing in real life I'd surely assess it as dumb All that said and to be fair though, the real reason I feel like this is probably just because it's still pretty dumb

@tablefourthree @henrythe9ths @claudeai @FreeTaxUSA If it’s any consolation, they’re awful for Australian users as well.

@henrythe9ths @claudeai Intuit is pretty awful company please don’t make them the defacto tax pipeline for the AI future 🙏 Work with @FreeTaxUSA please!

Tax season is here and a connector is all it takes to make @claudeai way more useful. Checkout what we just shipped: Connect TurboTax or Aiwyn Tax (formerly Column Tax) to Claude to estimate your refund, see what you may owe, and get a better understanding on the forms before you file.

@hosseeb I built my own bridge for my Claude Max subscription, hooked it up to self hosted Mattermost and Paperclip and I’m cooking.

Migrating my OpenClaw to Hermes Agent tonight. Will update this thread with how it goes.

@Immortal_Bum @KevorkAlmassian Lebanon was never purely Christian. Druze, Christians and Muslims of various sects have lived there for centuries.

@KevorkAlmassian Lebanon was a nice Country When it was Christian! But the Muslims killed the Christians in the Islamic Revolution and turned Lebanon into a safe haven for Hezbollah types!

Israeli tanks in Beirut in 1982, before Hezbollah existed. There has always been an excuse. It was never their fault.

@KevorkAlmassian @migueldeicaza They were bombing our family's Christian neighbourhood all through 1978. It was relentless. I'll never forget the toilet where an unexploded bomb had landed, tearing through three floors of the apartment block. Looking up, you could see the sky.

Everyone has access to pencils. But few are capable of using them to achieve anything close to this extraordinary Goya. There is always a first amongst equals.

If you agree that inference is a raw commodity, then this powerful commodity will soon be treated like many others. It’s not like you can get a delivery of uranium off the open market, even with a legally binding futures or spot contract. What is highly likely is that the inference commodity becomes so refined and powerful that it will be illegal to sell it raw and you’ll need a licence to sell it to end users. I’m betting it will also come with age limits.

@joeflateau @steipete Yep - this seems to be where they are heading.

@steipete For now… not long before building alternate harnesses is a ToS violation in itself so you get banned for building a harness with Claude Code

Yeah folks, it's gonna be harder in the future to ensure OpenClaw still works with Anthropic models.

That’s the solution I went with after I migrated off Openclaw last week. Seems to be reasonably stable but I needed to build my own harnessing, memory and context management to work reliably. Last night I got slash commands working through my Mattermost self-host. Will come back to Openclaw once it can work with Claude Max subs again.

@merlinrabens @reikon_io There's a claude-cli provider that uses the first-party claude cli, which ~works.

@yacineMTB @steipete He’s right and he’s not. Many successful security audit programs in Web3 that one could base this on. Lots of anon devs involved (for obvious reasons) and these programs don’t break. It’s not that hard but it does require a bit of legal scaffolding.

he's right
