@wonderwhy_er @steipete Fair enough

@TyroneMay @steipete yeah. But for that reason I do not have empathy to defend Anthropic position and actions. Can't support it on level of principles.

Anthropic now blocks first-party harness use too 👀 claude -p --append-system-prompt 'A personal assistant running inside OpenClaw.' 'is clawd here?' → 400 Third-party apps now draw from your extra usage, not your plan limits. So yeah: bring your own coin 🪙🦞

@wonderwhy_er @steipete Sadly it’s that how it’s always been.

@TyroneMay @steipete It is a fight for a monopolistic position. Like google has with browsers and search. If they do get to the position of being a major provider and price other products like open code out of the market. Then it's bad, and then it actually checks all 3 boxes of being anticompetitive

@ennycodes She looks bored AF

“I am a self-taught developer, I write HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, I also contribute to open source by making my repositories public on GitHub. I help the tech Twitter community by posting helpful threads over there.”

@hiarun02 You should be building Agents or Agentic Frameworks, that's the future.

> Every idea feels taken. > Every API already exists. > Every SaaS has 12 competitors. So what do we build now?

@rxhit05 Yes, it is, but nobody builds in edge cases, guardrails, and security into their project until the end, and then wonders why things break or fall over. All my projects start on those foundations.

Is Claude reliable enough for production apps or does it break on edge cases?

@ThePrimeagen Finally, someone else who agrees.

i am happy that anthropic is doing what they are doing with subscriptions the real cost of ai is really high and this subsidized life coming to an end more and more is a good thing.

Valid point, but I believe this is because they are developing something similar to, if not better than, OpenClaw. Therefore, preventing Claude users from using their subscription services to power OpenClaw and third-party applications now positions them strongly for when they choose to launch their own version of OpenClaw. It also doesn't help that @steipete made OpenClaw open-source and free, as competitors like Anthropic can now copy, reverse-engineer it, and release their own OpenClaw alternative. I think there is a much bigger play at stake, and most people are missing it. This is the AI war of the giants, and everyone is battling for the top spot. They are the Apple of the AI world, and they're building an ecosystem, Claude_AI, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Claude Control, and working with a few clients. Anthropic is making significant progress in the enterprise sector, with large corporations integrating Claude into their systems.

Not entirely. What they are doing here reminds me of Microsoft and Internet Explorer. They got into an unfair position with their models. Good for them. But now they use subsidized access for their harness as anticompatitive advantage. That is not good and we do not need new Internet Explorer of agents. I was a fan of their models since Sonnet 3.5 But such anticompetitive behavior, I can not stomach. I would not have had problems if there was no disparity between api and sub prices. But it does not make sense to use their API when their own products have such a discount... We are lucky there is some competition...

@HackingDave Stay with crappy Codex. Codex is over hyped hallucinates more than actually produces good quality code. But, the good news is, it’s okay to be a OpenAI Codex fanboy.

Dude Claude is total trash - seen massive degrading of code quality, bugs, and more over the past several weeks. This week, I can’t even use it or rely on it to complete basic bug fixes or implementations. Codex has been performing substantially better. Anyone else ?

@garrytan I think OpenClaw opened up the idea of what is possible. 9 times out of 10, it’s never the first to market that are the successful ones. It usually the business or teams that see what was created and implement something better. You of all people should know this.

A lot of the decacorn AI agent cos and labs other than OpenAI are trying to kill OpenClaw or replace it However: I think community and open source is too strong and the Apple II moment will actually happen for OpenClaw itself, not for some corporate closed source solution

@PorterHeigis @birdabo Smartest move ever

@birdabo Maybe that will free up some compute and make Claude code goated again🤪🙏

"how to cancel claude subscription" searches jump 1000% overnight. OpenClaw users are now searching for an alternative lmao.

@birdabo Let them.

@garrytan Best move ever. ChatGPT and Codex is over hyped and the fanboys are now stuck with mid par LLM on the same level as Mistral, MiniMax and Kimi. The comparison is Apple vs windows. OpenClaw and OpenAI are just going to fall off and Claude is going to reign supreme.

Anthropic shutting down OpenClaw may turn out to be a strategic blunder, or strategic genius. The OpenClaw community will be the determiner of whether it is A or B. It's an interesting moment in history. Personally I never bet against open source.

@NetworkChuck They should do. They didn't build or create Claude to be used on OpenClaw. Everyone who is a huge OpenAI and codex fanboy use your own tools. Apple Vs windows and you lot got stuck with windows. So suck it up.

Anthropic says NO MORE OpenClaw, they are officially cutting us off starting April 4th. How do you feel about this? Will this hurt Anthropic, OpenClaw or both?

Honestly I think a lot of people lie to get clout and likes. I’ve been a software engineer 15 and spent the last 24 months religiously learning, building and using AI. Everything from Rag pipelines, tokenisation to agents and orchestrations workflows. Then Joe blogs from down the road bangs out a 50 agent swam making $30k/month through automation then you ask how and pure silence.

New AI for Business book is now available on Amazon. I can now add author to my title

@justbyte_ Swappable parts easy for upgrading

Be honest, what is the reason behind ThinkPad’s popularity among engineers?

Something is seriously wrong with Claude at the moment, that's why @AnthropicAI are doing double usage until 27th March. I have noticed a huge drop in its reasoning over the last six weeks. Ask a question, and it will build a web page? ask a complex question, and it draws a chart?

The Chrome DevTools network tab lets you add custom throttling profiles, which are useful for catching lazy-loading bugs that only show up on slow connections but work fine locally.

New dev shipped a feature on day two. Not because I'm a great teacher, our docs are actually decent, and the onboarding repo works. Wild how much time good docs save in the long run.
