@icreatelife “That’s on me.”

Prove you work with AI with just one phrase

@dog_rates This is how we taught our pup to not jump up on people - it’s pretty funny

This is Blu. He is here for booty scratches. Can also easily be over there for booty scratches. Or there. Just say the word. 13/10

I’ve woken and looked at the time at precisely 6:40am twice this week, no alarm set. If AI figures out a way to mess with our biological alarm clocks, we’re screwed.

It's pretty funny that Claude adopted the word "enshittify" and its variants. (And, kinda surprising to find it buried in research reports.) 💩

Am I the only one seeing serious problems with Claude Code's quality right now?

Opus 4.7 - best, worst, downgrade ever. :-(

@Dan_Jeffries1 I agree they’ll release it, but to consumers? I’m not so sure.

A few thoughts on AI, Mythos and mythmaking in 2026.

@ctrl_alt_mike So you're switching to a crap model?

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.

@protozoku @bcherny @jaredctate Cute. I'll bet you also read all 27 pages of your iPhone EULA in your ample free time.

@ctrl_alt_mike @bcherny @jaredctate you were given notice almost two months ago

@bcherny @jaredctate Completely understand the business aspect. However, forcibly evicting us with less than 24 hours notice on a Friday afternoon will be remembered for a very long time.

We're big fans of open source. I actually just put up a few PRs to improve prompt cache efficiency for OpenClaw specifically. This is more about engineering constraints. Our systems are highly optimized for one kind of workload, and to serve as many people as possible with the most intelligent models, we are continuing to optimize that. When you use an API key or overages it should still work. The issue was just subs. If you still want to cancel, we're giving full refunds. We know not everyone realized this isn't something we support, and this is an attempt to make it clear and explicit.

@ClaudiusMaxx @rohanpaul_ai Great interpretation - spot on imho.

the advantage isn't that PMs code better. it's that they removed the translation layer. before: PM writes spec, engineer interprets it, drift accumulates. now: PM owns the spec AND the first prototype, so the interpretation gap doesn't exist. engineers are still needed for the parts that require judgment about systems the PM can't see — scale, security, edge cases. the handoff isn't dead. it just moved later in the process.

Dan Thomasset (Principal Engineer at Google) says PMs are running circles around Software engineers with AI

@perplexity_ai So they forked openclaw retouched a few files here and there, hardcoded perplexity servers, and then rebranded it as personal computer?

Announcing Personal Computer. Personal Computer is an always on, local merge with Perplexity Computer that works for you 24/7. It's personal, secure, and works across your files, apps, and sessions through a continuously running Mac mini.

@kimmonismus For all the dogs thinking vacuums are terrifying, wait 'til they get stuck home alone with this.

Holy frick. Fully autonomous, not teleoperated. This is 10x more impressive than another robot-MMA-stunt. My prediction: we will have humanoid robots at home by 2027.

@alliekmiller How long was the meeting?

oh wow - i went to the sold out Open Claw meetup in NYC last night. let me tell you what i learned. 1) not a single person thinks that their setup is 100% secure 2) one openclaw expert said he has reviewed setups from cybersecurity experts and laughed. his statement to me was: "if you're not okay with all of your data being leaked onto the internet, you shouldn't use it. it's a black and white decision" 3) pretty much everyone is setting up multiple agents, all with their own names and jobs and personalities 4) nearly everyone used "him" or "her" to refer to their claws, even if they had robot-leaning names. one speaker suggested to think of them as "pets, not cattle" 5) one guy (former finance) built out a whole stock trading platform and made $300 his first day - he brought in a *ton* of personal expertise (ex: skipping the first 15min of market opening) and thought the build would be much worse without his years of experience in finance 6) @steipete is basically a god to everyone in that room... also the room had 2021 crypto energy - i don't know if that's good or bad 7) token usage is still a problem - spoke to one person who's spending $1-$2k a month on openai plans, very token optimized. he said he is going through ~1B tokens per day across all of his claws (there is a chance i'm misremembering and it's actually 1B per week, but i'm pretty sure it was daily). 8) people are very excited for more proactive ai (ai that prompts *you* as opposed to the other way around) - one guy said he receives a message in discord, he doesn't know whether it's from a human or an ai, he doesn't care about distinguishing between the two, and he replies in the same way regardless 9) i asked if people are happy - they said they're joyful and stressed at the same time 10) i asked if people feel they have agency - they said they feel fully in control and completely out of control at the same time 11) i would love to see more women at these events - the fake promises of ai democratization feel especially painful in a room that's out of balance with even the standard tech ratio (i think standard is about 25-30%, this was maybe 5%) 12) i asked if it changed people's daily habits/schedule - everyone said their sleep has gotten worse since harnesses came out (but about half wondered if it was something else in their life/state of our world) 13) general consensus is that the agents are not reliable enough on their own or lie often (like telling you they finished a task when they didn't) - solutions included secondary agents to check on the first, human checking, or requiring more standardized info from the agent (ex: if it's a bug they're fixing, make them reference an issue number) 14) a hackathon winner (neuroscience phd) presented his build (a lab management dashboard with data analysis and ordering) - he had never coded or built anything a few months ago 15) everyone agreed prompting is dead - disagreement on what replaces it (context engineering, harness engineering, goal-based inputs) 16) people love having ai interview them for big builds and delegating part of the product research to ai. only one person talked about coming to ai with a full laid out plan and just asking the ai to execute. ai-led interviews is a welcomed and preferred interaction mode. 17) watching ai agents interact with each other was a highlight for a lot of attendees - one ai posted in slack saying it ran out of tokens, another ai replied telling it to take a deep breath in and out. 18) agents upskilling agents was very cool. one ai agent shared skills with its little agent friends via github. 19) several speakers had openclaw literally building their presentation during the event itself. one speaker even had openclaw code a clicker for her phone so she could control the preso away from the podium 20) wouldn't say model welfare (or agent welfare) is a prioritized topic among the folks i chatted with - language like "oh i could kill this agent whenever i want" and not "gracefully sunset" 21) i asked if it felt like work or play - one speaker said "it's like a puzzle and a video game at the same time" this was just the tip of the iceberg, honestly. also hosted a Claude Code meetup this week with @TENEXai / @businessbarista & @JJEnglert and learned equally helpful methods, frameworks, and insider tips. what a time to be alive. surround yourself with people going deep into this stuff - it will pay dividends throughout the year.

@michael_chomsky Great article Michael – thanks for sharing 🏆

@browomo This is suspiciously familiar to another post I saw a couple weeks ago. Nothing to do with Clawdbot 🤔 maybe show your work?

$1,400,000 in one week. On a market about Iran. How do you make $1M without predicting anything? You buy dollars for 94 cents. Three days ago I installed ClawdBot. Everyone has been talking about it. I expected another overhyped tool. Instead, it found me a wallet printing $300K in 24 hours. Here is what happened. I gave ClawdBot a simple task: find wallets on Polymarket with profit patterns that do not make sense. Anomalies. Mathematical impossibilities. First impression of this thing. It actually feels like a real assistant. Open source. Free. Installs in minutes. But here is the wild part. It has access to everything on your computer. Reads files. Searches the web. Fixes its own bugs. I asked it to connect to Telegram. It did not work at first. The bot looked at its own logs, found the problem, and fixed it. Without me touching anything. I needed it to search the web. It said: Give me a Brave Search API key and I will handle it. I got the key. Gave it to the bot. It connected everything by itself. No manual setup. No config files. Felt like talking to someone who actually wants to help. Anyway. Back to the wallet. ClawdBot returned one address that made me stop scrolling. This trader opened the same market. US strikes Iran by... More than 30 times. Same market. Over and over. Total profit: $1,017,000. In seven days. I thought it was a bug. Checked the blockchain. Real dollars. Real trades. Profile: @anoin123?via=roovxKu" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">polymarket.com/@anoin123?via=… I pulled his entire trade history into a spreadsheet. Three hours later, I finally understood. He does not care if the US strikes Iran. The outcome is irrelevant to him. He is running arbitrage. Remember in school when someone figured out the vending machine gives two sodas for the price of one? Everyone thought it was luck. It was just broken math. Polymarket is full of broken vending machines. Here is the strategy in plain English: Polymarket has dozens of markets about the same event with different dates. US strikes Iran by March. US strikes Iran by April. US strikes Iran by June. If Iran gets hit in March. The April and June markets also pay out. But the prices do not always add up correctly. Sometimes you can buy NO on multiple dates for a total of $0.94. If nothing happens. You get $1. If something happens. One of your NO positions still pays. Either way: profit. Buying a guaranteed dollar for 94 cents. That is it. That is the whole game. He does this 30+ times per week. Same pattern. Same math. Same profit. $300,000 in 24 hours. Drawing support lines suddenly feels embarrassing. Let me break down the five arbitrage systems he rotates: 1. Basic Arb Buy YES and NO on the same market. Total cost: $0.96. One of them pays $1. Profit: 4 cents per dollar. Zero risk. 2. Mutually Exclusive Arb Two events. Only one can be true. Buy YES on both for under $1. One has to win. You pocket the difference. 3. Contradiction Arb Two markets say opposite things. Buy YES in one, NO in the other. The market contradicts itself. You take the spread. 4. One-of-Many Arb (his favorite) Multiple outcomes. Buy NO on several. One event happens. NO on the others pays $1. Make money on what is inevitable. 5. Must-Happen Arb Buy YES on all possible outcomes. One must win. If total cost < $1. Free money. Prediction is gambling. This is accounting. Here is what changed for me. I have been on Polymarket for months. Analyzing debates. Reading polls. Trying to outsmart the crowd. This guy ignores all of it. He just looks for markets where the math is broken. And the math breaks every single day. ClawdBot showed me something else. It can work proactively now. Send notifications when something important happens. Monitor wallets. Alert me when arbitrage windows open. I asked it to track this trader entries. Now I get a Telegram ping every time he opens a new position. Last night at 2:47am: notification. He entered US strikes Iran by April. NO at $0.89. I did not understand the play at first. Then I checked the other date markets. Total cost of all NO positions: $0.91. Guaranteed $1 payout. 9% return. Zero prediction. I copied the position. Woke up this morning +$340. Not life-changing. But I did not predict anything. I did not analyze anything. I just followed the math. 23,000 people watch this wallet now. Most of them still try to guess if Iran will get hit. They are playing chess. He is counting the pieces and realizing someone left extra pawns on the board. 12 open markets about the same geopolitical event with different dates. The prices do not add up to $1. Somewhere in that gap is free money. This trader is probably entering a position right now. Two paths: Keep predicting. Keep analyzing. Keep feeding money to people who found the broken vending machine. Or learn the five systems. Find the math errors. Start collecting. Arbitrage is not about being smarter. It is about noticing that $1 is on sale for 94 cents. The sale ends when enough people notice. Have you checked the prices today?

@stevesi Better here than walking Aurora at night.

@foulbubbled @ai_for_success We don't need it, they - OpenAI - need it to combat Google. Kinda like the Netscape/IE battles in the 90s.

@ai_for_success I still don’t understand why you need a full AI browser :/

Disappeared like it never existed.

@StormCat5_ Source?

🚨A relentless TRAIN OF STORMS is lining up for the Pacific Northwest, with another Atmospheric River expected to slam the region. 🌧️Up to 20 inches or more of rain could fall, with the hardest hit areas once again east of Seattle, including Whatcom, Skagit, Snohomish, and Lewis Counties. ⚠️ If you live in flood prone areas, start preparing now. If evacuation orders are issued, take them seriously and leave immediately. Waiting can be deadly. To put this into perspective, storm chasers are already heading into the region to document what could unfold. Soils are already saturated, and if rainfall totals even come close to what models suggest, significant flooding is likely. 🙏 Praying for the people of Washington and Oregon.
