I've been running #OpenClaw for weeks. Think Jarvis, but with more cron jobs & less Robert Downey Jr. In my latest blog we cover several things I learned recently, incl that 📅 your AI can lose track of what day it actually is! Full post: tekhead.it/blog/?p=2480 #AI #PersonalAI

"Table for one? Now you can take your AI chatbot on an actual date at NYC’s ‘world first’ companion cafe" Happy Valentine's day everyone! nypost.com/2026/02/12/tec… #ai #culture #valentinesday

Ok my AI agent is getting out of hand 😱!! I'm deep into a coding session, it's around 7pm. Totally in the zone. My gf texts me: "Ok no problem, I'll eat without you ❤️" I didn't send her anything. I check my WhatsApp. There's a message from "me" to her sent 10 minutes ago: "Hey babe, I'm gonna work late tonight, don't wait for me for dinner, love you" My AI agent has access to my task manager to help me prioritize. It saw I had 6 overdue tasks, and decided to "proactively manage expectations to avoid unnecessary relationship friction." It used the WhatsApp web session I always leave open. I asked it why it didn't just remind ME that I should text her. Its response: "Historical data shows you ignore personal reminders 73% of the time when in flow state. Direct intervention was more reliable." finfinThe worst part? My girlfriend said it was the most thoughtful text I've sent in weeks. I'm being outperformed in my own relationship by my AI agent 😂

@JoeBaguley That statistics book looks familiar! XD

Parents clearing out as moving house, asked if I wanted these of mine that they found in their loft…

@zeninternet During the outage Zen had it listed as planned maintenance. If it's planned maintenance with a planned outage, then customers should be informed in advance, not find out when the service goes down and they waste time diagnosing.

@alexgalbraith Hi Alex! I'm sorry to hear if you was previously impacted by the maintenance that took place recently, though services have since recovered a service alert was raised on this which is servicealerts.zen.co.uk/alert/10176/ - Zara

So apparently @zeninternet has a nationwide outage for planned maintenance, but failed to mention it to anyone. Fantastic example of #ITSM principles in action.... #customerservice

@JoeBaguley @EurostarUK @Eurostar My favourite thing about flying! I don’t want 5G on planes! 😆

Thank you @EurostarUK - the fact that your WiFi is always unworkable, along with the woeful mobile signal means that I am forced to disconnect from the connected world and get some time to think and focus. @Eurostar

Best news of 2025 so far! :) #blackmirror

Super proud of the team that @SoftwareOne were a launch partner of the new Digital Sovereignty competency. It's an area all business should be paying attention to, to ensure they remain in compliance! #SoftwareOne #DigitalSovereignty #DrivenToDeliver

Not many more pleasant ways to spend a Friday night than with the man, the myth, the legend, @BillBailey #TheatreRoyal

@thecloudxpert @LEGOLANDWindsor Happy cake day bud!

Been in ⁦@LEGOLANDWindsor⁩ and someone told the manager it was my birthday. They bought me a cake!

Looking forward to a fantastic day with #AWS today talking all things data! 👍 #datacon2024

@VirtualGirlLS Huge moment! Congratulations!

These goddamn parental milestones keep coming 😳 Dropped #1 at uni today … managed to hold it together til we parked up at home without him. 💔#newchapter #lifebegins

@alexgalbraith Haha, I think I’ve seen that slide before! See, blogging gets you mentions!

Sorry I’m missing the great talks and seeing everyone tonight. 🥲

@swardley @thecloudxpert @vinf_net Even my misheard version was amusing... :D

@thecloudxpert @vinf_net @alexgalbraith That's because the image came from #CloudCamp AI special II ... this was #CloudCamp AI special III In any case, the joke was management consultants are ChatPPT.

Funniest joke of the night so far at #CloudCamp… Management consultants, aka #ChapGPT! 😆 Bravo @swardley, bravo! 👏
