Early in my career as a manager I used to think about people in mechanistic terms. If someone wasn't performing their function, “update their programming”. If that didn't work, swap out the “part”. It took me a while to see what was wrong with that framing.

This is exactly why the personal agent race will not be won by any of the big labs.

This is anti-competitive.

AI needs open markets and open access not whatever is happening here

@trq212 @steipete I’m in the same boat. Can you help?

@steipete we haven't banned anyone for using OpenClaw this is likely tripping another abuse classifier that's a bit overactive, I'll send you a DM so we can look into it and get you unbanned

Yeah folks, it's gonna be harder in the future to ensure OpenClaw still works with Anthropic models.

Just got suspended today for unknown reasons with no warning. @claudeai

@claudeai @bcherny my account was just suspended as I was just building an mcp server. Can you please lift?

@clarityx This is the way

Poke + Claude is all you need if you want OpenClaw. Prove me wrong.

@trq212 When @interaction is integration?

We just released Claude Code channels, which allows you to control your Claude Code session through select MCPs, starting with Telegram and Discord. Use this to message Claude Code directly from your phone.

@interaction Poke might make good use of this…

LinkedIn Shuts Down Recruiter and Launches Futures, Says "Betting on People More Profitable Than Hiring Them" FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — March 2027 SUNNYVALE — LinkedIn today announced it will sunset LinkedIn Recruiter to focus exclusively on LinkedIn Futures, the professional futures market that has generated more revenue in 18 months than Recruiter did in a decade. "Recruiters paid us $10,000 a year to send InMails that got ignored," said a spokesperson. "Now we make that in 0.3 seconds every time a layoff hits and 2 million positions liquidate. We're not going back." LinkedIn Futures allows users to buy and sell shares in professionals. Prices fluctuate based on promotions, job changes, skill acquisition, and endorsements from high-value professionals. Q1 2027 highlights: — $847M liquidated in 11 minutes during Meta's January RIF — A 19-year-old aped his inheritance into an OpenAI janitor on a "proximity alpha" thesis. It 47x'd. — Most shorted professional: A VC who posted "humbled and grateful" 11 times in 8 weeks. LinkedIn Futures now offers 50x leverage. The SEC issued guidance that trading humans at 50x "raises novel questions." The CFTC replied that humans "are not technically commodities but exhibit commodity-like properties." The DOL said it was "monitoring the situation with concern and confusion." Congress held hearings. A senator asked the LinkedIn CEO if he could short his colleagues. The CEO said he could not comment on his personal positions. The senator's price dropped 4% during the hearing. "We've been blown away by the community," said LinkedIn's Head of Futures. "r/LinkedInBets hit 4.7 million members in four months. These are engaged, passionate investors." The company also noted that 60% of active traders are former recruiters and confirmed their InMail credits can now be used as margin collateral. Coming Q4 2027: LinkedIn plans to build the full suite of financial products. ETFs will offer bundled exposure by category: $RISING (high-momentum early career), $STAGNANT (no promotion in 3+ years), and $PIVOT (career changers over 40), and the most popular fund, $SHORTMBA. For sophisticated investors, LinkedIn is launching Career Default Swaps — payouts trigger when someone's "open to work" banner activates. And LinkedIn Talent Bonds offer steady 2% annual returns backed entirely by government employees. "We're building the full financial stack," the LinkedIn CEO said. "The underlying asset just happens to be a person."

@openclaw The margin in commoditized markets typically migrates to either the infrastructure layer (compute/API providers) or the strategic layer (humans deciding what to optimize). The middle, operating agent swarms themselves, may be a race to zero margin.

If every business can deploy the same agent frameworks (@openclaw is open source), what’s the defensible advantage?

What does “institutional agency” mean when the institution has no human accountability chain?

An absolutely amazing read by my good friend ⁦@JohnNosta⁩ It is a must read: “From Human Thought to Machine Coordination”—Psychology Today psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-di…

AI as SaaS wrapper.

Signs of the software moats being reshaped.

@TheAhmadOsman How does running a M5+ Apple Silicon setup compare to building compute for local llm setups?

Genuine advice Don’t rent GPUs unless it’s from a verified top tier provider Hardware configurations matter - PCIe stability - Board layout - Cabling They matter more than people would think Bad setups quietly ruin everything I’m not saying renting never works but the underlying reality is harsh When I built my then-8x RTX 3090 node, now 14x RTX 3090 It took me a decent amount of time, less than a day, to stress test everything, including: - PCIe lanes for stability - Average temps on the redrivers and retimers per stress test Many don’t realize this, but if you don’t track redriver and retimer temperatures across each stress run, the you’re asking for trouble They can become failure points themselves That level of tuning is non negotiable and you almost never get it when you rent Nobody you rent from cares about that so they downshift to PCIe Gen 3 and slower speeds as well just to keep systems alive You end up with extremely suboptimal results because rented hardware is tuned to survive not for peak performance This is why I keep saying: Buy a GPU.
