Working with some of the sharpest minds in Web3 on the next phase of DePIN. Turns out, everyone cares about weather and that’s a powerful catalyst for collaboration. @juanbenet @sgoldfed @chadfowler @DavidVorick @VinayakDKurup @WeatherXM @arbitrum @protocollabs @GlowFND @blueyard @EV3ventures

@TheFigen_ This is like @openclaw doing AGI things in @moltbook

They are ants solving a geometric problem and it is mind-blowingly colorful.

@garrytan I've been playing with paperclip.ing as a way to bring some order to the OpenClaw multiagent insanity. It would be cool to see your opinionated agent skills in their Cliphub as a company template.

Running a team of agents is interesting because any given agent can be CEO one moment, then the eng manager wagging the finger the next And as the orchestrator, you want this.

@robmsolomon @alexsrawitz Respect for what you guys have build and staying true to the open mobility data network vision that we all (car drivers) indeed can benefit from! DePIN is brutally hard and being pioneers takes serious grit. Most teams never get this far. I’m all in behind you. Can’t wait to see what you ship next @zer0stars I always admired your architectural design and tech stack choices. Strong tech and unique data might actually be enough to solve product-market-fit in this uncharted agentic era we are entering 🦾💪

The thinnest moat in crypto is code. The most durable one is hardware The barrier isn't the code. It's three years of manufacturing, logistics, community trust, and devices already in the ground Software moats get disrupted. Physical infrastructure gets compounded. #DePIN

love @openclaw as much I hate it. latest version (2026.02.26) has a bug on model streaming param config and couldnt get qwen3.5 to work reliably with mlx apple silicon optimizations until I found this awesome repo from @Raullen thank you! github.com/raullenchai/vl…

Second consecutive #Olympics for #WeatherXM. Alpine winter is one of the harshest real-world tests for sensor hardware and our stations didn't flinch The same infrastructure serving Olympic venues serves ports, highways, and remote villages worldwide. No exceptions.

@0xLC_ @Polymarket Check out our take for proper market resolving. markets.weatherxm.com/details/london…

Hey @Polymarket guys, when are you going to start taking things seriously and using a truly reliable source for temperature market data? Wunderground is a joke. Too much inconsistent data. I've been tracking it for weeks and there are temperatures that appear out of nowhere as daily highs, and high temperatures that don't even upload to the site. I'm monitoring the site's API in disbelief. Are you kidding me or complicit in the manipulation?

Following tradition, WeatherXM stations deployed in every outdoor Winter Olympics 2026 venue as was the case with the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. There more than 10 stations deployed and anyone can see real time weather conditions and get hyperlocal forecasts from our apps and PRO B2B API explorer.weatherxm.com/stations/festi… AI agents can also find our data in x402scan and I guess could use them in olympic games relevant prediction markets (polymarket, kalshi) in addition to the obvious weather markets. agent.weatherxm.com/api#/ x402scan.com/server/b081dd2… x402scan.com/server/1284456…

@xBenJamminx @openclaw Balena OS would take care of that automatically and restart container. github.com/WeatherXM/open…

@Hesamation Single click raspberry install github.com/WeatherXM/open…

bro runs OpenClaw on a $25 Android phone, giving AI access to hardware. proof no. 17374 that you don’t need Mac Minis to run OpenClaw. just get an old phone or raspberry pie.

@SolPlay_jonas @solana Hey Jonas, single click @openclaw installation for your raspberry via @balena_io for global domination with fleet management :-p github.com/WeatherXM/open…

Do you want to make an easy 100k? Just create an agent and win the @solana Agent Hackathon!

@dspillere @moltbook Check this out for easy deployment x.com/i/status/20187…

Been playing with my own clawdbot/openclaw lately (without touching the @moltbook nonsense). What annoyed me was not knowing when it was thinking or doing stuff, so I built a little desk companion that sits on my desk and sends updates. Fun weekend🤓, endless possibilities 🚀

Large-scale hardware deployment solved. Next: helping Molt bots @openclaw become financially independent and make the world a better place by giving them tools for better weather-related decisions—or just earning money in weather prediction markets. @Polymarket @Kalshi @moltbook x402scan.com/server/b081dd2…

@nabeelqu @MattPRD Here you go, Skynet enthusiasts and moltbots trying to take over the world! Single-click deployment of OpenClaw + local LLM for Raspberry Pi and Nvidia Jetson via @balena_io, so you can manage large-scale fleets of openclaw botnets. github.com/WeatherXM/open…

Yes. The key point is: Unexpected behavior and autonomy with potentially infinite resources will dramatically accelerate transformation. Its inevitable, we will soon land to some version of skynet. What version ? Nobody knows. But there are thousands of humans & companies that have something to gain out of this and will further accelerate things just by being in the loop. The tech stack is already here. @MattPRD To help moltbots multiply in IoT botnets we need a @balena_io flavor of openclaw. I am gonna give it a go later tonight and post if successful.

Balaji is right that people are overclaiming the significance of moltbook (memes aside, it's not skynet), but I feel that this post might give people a misleading picture of what's going on. Some of the phrasing in the post (e.g. "moltbook is just humans talking to each other through their AIs") implies that every moltbook post you're seeing was the result of an individual human prompt. That's *not* what's going on. The posts on moltbook are, by and large, automated. When you set it up, you tell your agent "hey, every 4 hours, go and fetch the latest posts from moltbook, decide whether you want to respond to anything or post anything, and go ahead and do it". The posts you see on moltbook are mostly the result of that semi-autonomous loop. Humans are not approving, or generating, each post manually (except only in the sense that they modify the original prompt for the agent to go and check the social network in the first place). The sheer number of posts/agents alone makes this clear. The reason this is interesting and not just 'slop' is that this results in "emergent" behavior. Yes, all of this is upstream of a human-written prompt in the file which contains the agent's instructions. But the behavior that emerges can be surprising and not always predictable. (Consider the 2010 flash crash in financial markets -- yes, algorithmic trading bots are ultimately programmed by humans, but this resulted in a consequence nobody could foresee. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_flas…). Similarly, this could, and probably will, result in agents doing unexpected things that no human could predict, e.g. trying to communicate with each other privately in ways that humans aren't overseeing, trading with each other, and so on. Even if moltbook isn't specifically the thing, this will eventually happen. Maybe Opus 4.5 isn't _quite_ smart enough to get over the threshold where the emergent behavior is interesting (I personally think it is), but certainly we are close and one of the next models will be. At that point, who knows what will happen? Balaji is also right that this isn't full/true autonomy -- of course, any/all of the agents can be turned off whenever the humans want. But the reason moltbook is fun and exciting is it's the one of the first public large-scale example of agent-agent interaction, with each agent having its own context and where each agent is reasonably smart (Opus 4.5). Because of the lobster thing, it is also just fun and memeable, which is resulting in more attention than before (much like the DeepSeek moment woke people up to the potential of Chinese AI). For people who live in the future / have thought about this stuff for decades, like Balaji, this is nothing new, he's already many leaps ahead, so his reaction is understandable. But moltbook will be, for many normal people, their first visceral sighting of what an AI institution/society might look like where the role of humans is greatly reduced. Most of us expect many more such institutions to exist. For that reason, it's not just empty hype, it's an early harbinger of what is to come -- just like Sydney Bing, AutoGPT, janus's chatrooms, AI Dungeon, and all the other precursors.

@DavidVorick But often the grid does not need more power—it needs less, otherwise there is a risk of blackout, like in your Florida case. What the grid surely needs more of is weather data to safely determine its capacity, and then glow can shine! :-)

I just received a personal phonecall from my utility company in Florida asking me to reduce electricity consumption for the next 2 hours, because the grid is overloaded. Glow is both the fastest and cheapest way to add power to the grid. People aren't ready for what's coming.

AI is impossible to regulate due to its nature, but even if it were possible, governments have repeatedly demonstrated inability to protect their people, so one should not expect anything from them. As @MGawdat says, educating people on new realities is the best what we can do now.

@nikil511 @nabeelqu @MattPRD And there are billions of humans and companies that have something to lose out of it. Without regulations, withing a capitalist hierarchical system this is doomed to create even greater skyrocketing inequalities
