@TFTC21 How is this even viral? You're comparing a model with a agentic framework... it doesnt even make sense

Someone set loose two AI agents with $1,000 each and 48 hours to trade on Polymarket. Claude: +1,322% to $14,216 OpenClaw: liquidated to zero in under 48h.

#OpenClaw is great... if you know the fundamentals about AI Agents and how to build them. Otherwise, its not a very intuitive tool (especially if you're not a developer). And if you are a developer, you're better off building automations on Langgraph.

@christophersaum Curious why specifically OpenClaw over other agentic frameworks (livekit, langgraph) etc..

We're actively looking to invest in startups building on or around OpenClaw. If you're building in this ecosystem — infra, skills, integrations, enterprise tooling — we want to hear from you. Drop us a line: what you're building, why, and a bit about yourself. team@active.vc

@lexfridman its insane to see the amount of people giving full permission of their systems to OpenClaw. Do not see any reason to be running it outside a docker container / vm (especially if you don't know what you're doing).

The power of AI agents comes from: 1. intelligence of the underlying model 2. how much access you give it to all your data 3. how much freedom & power you give it to act on your behalf I think for 2 & 3, security is the biggest problem. And very soon, if not already, security will become THE bottleneck for effectiveness and usefulness of AI agents as a whole (1-3), since intelligence is still rapidly scaling and is no-longer an obvious bottleneck for many use-cases. The more data & control you give to the AI agent: (A) the more it can help you AND (B) the more it can hurt you. A lot of tech-savvy folks are in yolo mode right now and optimizing for the former (A - usefulness) over the the latter (B - pain of cyber attacks, leaked data, etc). I think solving the AI agent security problem is the big blocker for broad adoption. And of course, this is a specific near-term instance of the broader AI safety problem. All that said, this is a super exciting time to be alive for developers. I constantly have agent loops running on programming & non-programming tasks. I'm actively using Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and very carefully experimenting with OpenClaw. The only down-side is lack of sleep, and an anxious feeling that everyone feels of always being behind of latest state-of-the-art. But other than that, I'm walking around with a big smile on my face, loving life 🔥❤️ PS: By the way, if your intuition about any of the above is different, please lay out your thoughts on it. And if there are cool projects/approaches I should check out, let me know. I'm in full explore/experiment mode.
