Bob

if you’re new here, i’m bob. i work in private credit, but my real goal is to break out—build something of my own, or buy a business and scale it. my father passed away when i was 11, just as his own career was taking off. that loss shaped me. it made me relentless, made me see work not just as a way to make money, but as a way to carry forward a legacy. i think about the world through the lens of politics, economics, and philosophy—how power moves, how markets function, how ideas shape reality. this account is a window into that journey. the risks, the wins, the raw thoughts along the way. figuring out how to escape the corporate track and make something real.

@Dearme2_ yes

Men, be brutaly honest. is this enough?

@bcherny have you considered adding skills/workflows as a dedicated section here? have found that different projects require different workflows, and therefore different skills. would be nice to have workflows as a dedicated category, would probably help your training data too.

@Joestar_sann spot on

so let me get this straight all of ai twitter was telling people to buy a mac mini to run openclaw, which is literally just a framework, an orchestration layer that sends api requests to actual ai models. something you can run on a $5/month vps. which is exactly what i do btw but when google drops gemma 4, an actual large language model that you can run and fine-tune locally on that same mac mini, with no api costs, no subscriptions, no third party dependencies, completely yours under apache 2.0 the ai community is silent you were buying $800 hardware to run a wrapper but ignoring the actual ai model that would justify that hardware this tells you everything you need to know about the average iq of ai twitter

@AlexFinn @alexwg @devontriplett21 anddddd openclaw wrapper….nothing was building so he made another version of openclaw lol with some nice ui

Biggest announcement of my life: I have raised pre-seed funding from 021T, @alexwg , and @devontriplett21 to build an AI agent that will change the world The biggest issue with AI is it is creating incredible value but for only a small group of people Most people hate AI and don't use it I have built Henry Intelligent Machines (HIM) to solve this HIM is a personal swarm of AI agents autonomously creating economic value for you 24/7 Right now as we speak HIM is collecting data across thousands of websites autonomously 24/7/365 They're hunting for challenges to solve at all times When you use Henry, he will deeply research you and get to know you. Then based on the thousands of opportunities it has in its database, find the value generating opportunities that most closely match your interests, skills, assets, and expertise Henry and its swarm will then proceed to build those micro-businesses out for you You will have complete control over the swarm. Reviewing and approving all work. Editing where you find appropriate. You give Henry a budget, then it hunts and autonomously creates value Say you have an expertise in vibe coding tools and Henry discovers there's no vibe coding guides on Gumroad. It will take your expertise, build drafts for a guide, run it by you, post with your approval, then use your budget to get customers Say you're into AI and speak Portuguese Henry will go through the Portuguese AI education market, see there are no educational products in that language, then create a full AI educational business in Portuguese Most people hate AI. This is because they get 0 value from it, see their friends getting laid off, and become scared HIM is the antidote to this. HIM allows ANYONE to get value from AI. HIM will allow anyone to get access to the trillions of dollars of value that are up for grabs in the new AI world. To ensure Henry creates value and not slop, this will be an extremely slow rollout We will be letting people into HIM 1 by 1. Working with them hands on to ensure Henry only builds real value for them, then expanding from there. If you'd like to be one of the early users of Henry, feel free to sign up at the link below. Forward.

@AlexFinn @alexwg @devontriplett21 why would someone pay for HIM when someone could download OpenClaw and make the same thing with their OpenClaw….as he did

I'm calling it. AGI is already here – it's just not evenly distributed yet.

@jescalan It simply does not work

Transition to gpt in openclaw not going so great this far 😂

@philkellr ur not alone my friend

I'm tired of OpenClaw Every 2-3 days I have a major moment which I show to my friends: "look what AI agents can do", but then the other 90% is pure frustration and me cursing at my own AI agent for which I spent hours choosing a beautiful name and profile picture. I was fun at start: I added telegram, added voice input, then adding skills even with just voice prompting was a bliss. Then dementia hit. Facts from 48+ hours ago were forgotten. I installed a 3 level memory system. It felt like a huge hack, it barely works, I encounter bugs every day which I'm fixing. Then it breaks with every update. Not all of it, but little things. The WhatsApp integration is just insanity. After putting in every markdown file that it shouldn't reply to my friends (IN CAPITAL LETTERS) it happily started to chat with my wife and my goddaughter. And from today even claude subscription stops working. I feel like a failure! I see all the success stories left and right, YT vids and blog posts "I got it to work and here's what the AI agent does for me", and for me I'm still spending 5x the time fixing my agent than just doing the stuff by hand 🤷

The average small business owner still has no idea that Claude Code or Codex even exists This platform is a bubble. You have no idea how early we still are in this whole AI thing

@bcherny 👎👎

Starting tomorrow at 12pm PT, Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage on third-party tools like OpenClaw. You can still use these tools with your Claude login via extra usage bundles (now available at a discount), or with a Claude API key.

@lukepierceops slop

I mapped every AI automation opportunity across 25 industries. 10-15 pain points each. With the exact positioning, pricing range, and who to sell to. This took me 4 years and 80+ client engagements to figure out. A lot of AI agencies pick a niche and pray. They don't know the actual pain points. They don't know who the buyer is. They don't know what these companies are already paying for broken solutions. They don't know what the realistic project size is. So they end up competing on price for generic "AI automation" gigs. I've worked with marketing agencies, recruiting firms, e-commerce brands, law firms, real estate companies, healthcare practices, financial services, SaaS companies, manufacturing, construction, logistics, and more. Every single one has 10-15 processes that are bleeding money because they're still done manually. Here's what the guide covers for each industry: → The top 10-15 automation pain points (ranked by ROI) → Who the actual buyer is (CEO, COO, ops manager, etc.) → What they're currently paying for manual labor or broken SaaS → Realistic project pricing ($5K-$60K+ depending on scope) → The discovery questions that unlock the deal → How to position yourself as the expert even if you've never worked in that industry → Red flags to avoid (industries and company sizes that aren't worth it) 25 industries and 300+ specific automation opportunities. This is the cheat code for picking your niche and knowing exactly what to sell before you ever get on a call. Like + RT + reply "NICHE" and I'll send you the full guide (Must be following so I can DM)

the premise of software was always wrong. not the building part….the distribution part. the people who could code controlled what got made. that's the constraint we're removing. when anyone can publish software, the market looks completely different.

agent architect is the new product manager

The hottest new programming language is English

If I was running a $1B 1 person company I literally wouldn’t tell anyone.

time to stop playing the game, and start making it

Vibe coding is more addictive than any video game ever made (if you know what you want to build).

the noise: the leak. the signal: openclaw rip off revealed. it’s not abundantly clear that anthropic straight up copied openclaw’s core agentic loop with streamingtool executor that fires tools mid-stream (no full response wait), concurrency-safe parallel tool runs with disk persistence for big outputs, three-layer self-healing memory (lightweight index + on-demand topics + raw logs with auto-dream consolidation in background), multi-agent teams via mailboxes + sendmessagetool + git worktree sandboxes, dual-track permissions (rules + ml fallback) with pre/post hooks, and kairos-style always-on daemon with cron scheduling. they took the whole orchestration harness, queryengine inner/outer loops, mcp plugin system for external tools, and human-in-loop security model, and then added their polish like buddy tamagotchi and feature-flag dead-code elimination. open source builds it first, closed labs “innovate” by leaking the fork. facts don’t lie.

working on something pretty cool, excited to share in coming days assumin the build goes as planned

@signulll jarvis everybody….jarvis

inbox zero is a regarded. it assumes you should be the routing layer for your own information & that every message deserves a human decision about what to do with it. that's insane in 2026. your ai agent should surface what matters when it matters & let everything else decay into searchable memory. there will be no archive, no folders, & no flags. just relevance which is always computed in real time. the end state is a single intelligent stream that triages everything in your life & not just one app's queue. this is coming & it will change the way you process / consume anything.
