@OpenAI @Scobleizer Please just release a more agent friendly model that works with OpenClaw without being a cowardly chump that needs reassurance and begging before doing anything

We’re updating our ChatGPT Pro and Plus subscriptions to better support the growing use of Codex. We’re introducing a new $100/month Pro tier. This new tier offers 5x more Codex usage than Plus and is best for longer, high-effort Codex sessions. In ChatGPT, this new Pro tier still offers access to all Pro features, including the exclusive Pro model and unlimited access to Instant and Thinking models. To celebrate the launch, we’re increasing Codex usage for a limited time through May 31st so that Pro $100 subscribers get up to 10x usage of ChatGPT Plus on Codex to build your most ambitious ideas.

@RyanHanley_Com @Jason @openclaw They can’t kill it directly, but they can make the token pricing for big models so prohibitively expensive that OpenClaw doesn’t make sense for most. Anthropic is now deliberately blocking usage based on footprints in the prompt text. So far, OpenAI has been more generous, but …

@Jason, this is an honest question but being that Open Claw is just a framework that sits on a hard drive, how are they going to kill it? You mean like technical updates and can't those technical updates be made on your own since once you install Open Claw, essentially the code is yours?

Agents must stay open source They’re far to powerful/dangerous to have any one or two companies own the @openclaw space It’s clear from the OpenAI acquisition of OpenClaw that they did so to kill it, by slowing it down 🦞 FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! 🦞

@LegitifyAI @openclaw Don’t worry, there are 85 thousand people out there with content to help you understand you’re ’doing it all wrong’

@openclaw I feel like openclaw blew up for the wrong reason. I have yet to keep it working reliably for more than 3 days.

@graeters Mama’s Lemon Pound Cake

What's an ice cream flavor you would love to see made by Graeter's?

@WCPO Good call. Your move, @graeters

It may not be "mama's lemon pound cake," but Taste of Belgium announced it will host "Lemon Poundcake Waffle Day" at its Rookwood and The Banks locations on March 25, offering free waffles in honor of Afroman's trial win. bit.ly/4d52R79

@SenSanders Dario hungers for the regulatory leash

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

@nojumper Streisand Effect

The lawyer suing Afroman for allegedly defaming Ohio sheriff's officials who raided his home finished questioning him by asking him if there's "anything that could change your mind about what you're doing to these deputies?"

@emollick Against the Machine, by Paul Kingsnorth

I would add that when imagining backlash people think of Dune’s Butlerian Jihad or Luddites But what those fights actually looked like during the previous Industrial Revolutions were about regulation, redistribution, nationalization, unions & safety nets. Could expect similar

@aakashgupta Meanwhile Dario is off being fawned over by Davos attendees and NYT interviewers

The real story here is worse than a fumble. It’s a three-step own goal. January 9: Anthropic locks Claude Code OAuth tokens, killing every third-party tool that built on Claude subscriptions. OpenClaw, which recommended Claude Opus 4.5 as its default model, wakes up to a broken integration. No warning. No partner outreach. January 27: Anthropic’s legal team sends the cease-and-desist over “Clawdbot” sounding too similar to “Claude.” Steinberger complies at 5 AM on a Discord call. During the 10-second window where he releases the old GitHub and X handles, crypto scammers hijack both accounts and run a $16M pump-and-dump scheme. The chaos reflects on the entire Claude ecosystem. February 15: Steinberger announces he’s joining OpenAI. So Anthropic had the fastest-growing open source project in AI history (145K+ GitHub stars, 2 million visitors in a single week), built by a guy who sold his last company for ~€100M, whose tool literally recommended Claude as the default model to millions of new users. Their response was to cut off his API access and send lawyers. Steinberger spent last week in San Francisco meeting with every major lab. He explicitly said he could have built OpenClaw into a massive company but chose OpenAI because he wanted “the fastest way to bring this to everyone.” Meanwhile OpenClaw has already spread to China, with Baidu planning direct integration into its main app. This is a project that was essentially a free distribution channel for Claude. Millions of developers installing a tool that defaults to your model. The growth marketing team at Anthropic should have been sending gift baskets, not legal notices. Sam Altman just got handed an open-source agent framework with global distribution and a brilliant founder, because Anthropic’s legal department moved faster than their partnerships team.

@thorstenball Right now the focus is on the developer. But what job is the user doing? Eventually those tasks start to be replaced and the bottleneck moves downstream.

"I am the bottleneck now" Few more thoughts

@thorstenball Not sure what industry you’re working in, bust for many, the causal chain will be impacted further and further back. Ie. many of the tasks the user needed the software for will disappear, and back again from there …

I now honestly think that most engineers who still think that agents will be plopped into existing software development loops - tickets, push to GitHub, run CI, review a PR, merge a PR - aren't thinking far enough ahead.

@data_atx You can just do things

A man allegedly sets fire to a south Austin HEB toilet paper aisle in order to create a distraction so he can steal beer from a few aisles down kxan.com/news/crime/man…

@JonahDispatch @marcthiessen “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

@marcthiessen Because after watching the video, people saw that they shot him only after disarming him? Because he was directing traffic until the agents shoved a woman to the ground and he went over to assist? Because he never drew the weapon and it’s not illegal to legally carry a gun?

A man shows up to interrupt an ICE operation armed with a gun and two ammo clips and gets into a confrontation with ICE agents, resists arrest. Why is the presumption that the ICE agents are in the wrong?

@ScottDimmich For once can everybody keep their pants on and assume it will be south of the area, until we have very solid reasons to think otherwise

For now, here’s the big takeaway: Yes, accumulating snow is possible. No, I don’t know exact totals yet. But trust me — as soon as the pieces start locking in, you’ll know. In the meantime, enjoy the Snow Predicto board to see where we are in the process right now. ❄️ #cincywx

Want to hear my thoughts on weekend snow? You’ve probably heard a lot of chatter already. But here’s the thing: this system is days away. Right now, we’re in that early phase of the process — the “Analyzing Trends” stage on the Snow Predicto board. #cincywx

Just give him Poland. I mean, Greenland. I got mixed up.

@TimTeaFan Every doomy article about AI cites research from Anthropic, the company that has led the way in going after regulatory grift. Coincidence?

I highly recommend this article for anyone who still thinks that LLMs are still "only predicting the next token". It's long and unsettling but worth the read.

@TheTrueVanguard The bell the book and the candle

Prove to me you’re an old gamer in one sentence. I’ll drop a like if I’m convinced.

@Phoenix2A_1980s He went Farrell

So instead of checking his in ear monitors (which is entirely his fault for having them out btw), Flea from the Chili Peppers decides to throw a full on tantrum and blame it on his bass tech. This is a man in his 60's, btw 😬

@ianmiles This appears to be how the game is played in Silicon Valley, where FOMO is given more weight than math

Sam Altman can’t answer a simple question: “How can a company, with $13 billion in revenues, make $1.4 trillion of spending commitments?” His response: “We're doing well more revenue than that. Second of all, Brad, if you want to sell your shares, I'll find you a buyer.”
