Bob

if you’re new here, i’m bob. i work in private credit, but my real goal is to break out—build something of my own, or buy a business and scale it. my father passed away when i was 11, just as his own career was taking off. that loss shaped me. it made me relentless, made me see work not just as a way to make money, but as a way to carry forward a legacy. i think about the world through the lens of politics, economics, and philosophy—how power moves, how markets function, how ideas shape reality. this account is a window into that journey. the risks, the wins, the raw thoughts along the way. figuring out how to escape the corporate track and make something real.

I'm calling it. AGI is already here – it's just not evenly distributed yet.

@jescalan It simply does not work

Transition to gpt in openclaw not going so great this far 😂

@philkellr ur not alone my friend

I'm tired of OpenClaw Every 2-3 days I have a major moment which I show to my friends: "look what AI agents can do", but then the other 90% is pure frustration and me cursing at my own AI agent for which I spent hours choosing a beautiful name and profile picture. I was fun at start: I added telegram, added voice input, then adding skills even with just voice prompting was a bliss. Then dementia hit. Facts from 48+ hours ago were forgotten. I installed a 3 level memory system. It felt like a huge hack, it barely works, I encounter bugs every day which I'm fixing. Then it breaks with every update. Not all of it, but little things. The WhatsApp integration is just insanity. After putting in every markdown file that it shouldn't reply to my friends (IN CAPITAL LETTERS) it happily started to chat with my wife and my goddaughter. And from today even claude subscription stops working. I feel like a failure! I see all the success stories left and right, YT vids and blog posts "I got it to work and here's what the AI agent does for me", and for me I'm still spending 5x the time fixing my agent than just doing the stuff by hand 🤷

The average small business owner still has no idea that Claude Code or Codex even exists This platform is a bubble. You have no idea how early we still are in this whole AI thing

@bcherny 👎👎

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.

@lukepierceops slop

I mapped every AI automation opportunity across 25 industries. 10-15 pain points each. With the exact positioning, pricing range, and who to sell to. This took me 4 years and 80+ client engagements to figure out. A lot of AI agencies pick a niche and pray. They don't know the actual pain points. They don't know who the buyer is. They don't know what these companies are already paying for broken solutions. They don't know what the realistic project size is. So they end up competing on price for generic "AI automation" gigs. I've worked with marketing agencies, recruiting firms, e-commerce brands, law firms, real estate companies, healthcare practices, financial services, SaaS companies, manufacturing, construction, logistics, and more. Every single one has 10-15 processes that are bleeding money because they're still done manually. Here's what the guide covers for each industry: → The top 10-15 automation pain points (ranked by ROI) → Who the actual buyer is (CEO, COO, ops manager, etc.) → What they're currently paying for manual labor or broken SaaS → Realistic project pricing ($5K-$60K+ depending on scope) → The discovery questions that unlock the deal → How to position yourself as the expert even if you've never worked in that industry → Red flags to avoid (industries and company sizes that aren't worth it) 25 industries and 300+ specific automation opportunities. This is the cheat code for picking your niche and knowing exactly what to sell before you ever get on a call. Like + RT + reply "NICHE" and I'll send you the full guide (Must be following so I can DM)

the premise of software was always wrong. not the building part….the distribution part. the people who could code controlled what got made. that's the constraint we're removing. when anyone can publish software, the market looks completely different.

agent architect is the new product manager

The hottest new programming language is English

If I was running a $1B 1 person company I literally wouldn’t tell anyone.

time to stop playing the game, and start making it

Vibe coding is more addictive than any video game ever made (if you know what you want to build).

the noise: the leak. the signal: openclaw rip off revealed. it’s not abundantly clear that anthropic straight up copied openclaw’s core agentic loop with streamingtool executor that fires tools mid-stream (no full response wait), concurrency-safe parallel tool runs with disk persistence for big outputs, three-layer self-healing memory (lightweight index + on-demand topics + raw logs with auto-dream consolidation in background), multi-agent teams via mailboxes + sendmessagetool + git worktree sandboxes, dual-track permissions (rules + ml fallback) with pre/post hooks, and kairos-style always-on daemon with cron scheduling. they took the whole orchestration harness, queryengine inner/outer loops, mcp plugin system for external tools, and human-in-loop security model, and then added their polish like buddy tamagotchi and feature-flag dead-code elimination. open source builds it first, closed labs “innovate” by leaking the fork. facts don’t lie.

working on something pretty cool, excited to share in coming days assumin the build goes as planned

@signulll jarvis everybody….jarvis

inbox zero is a regarded. it assumes you should be the routing layer for your own information & that every message deserves a human decision about what to do with it. that's insane in 2026. your ai agent should surface what matters when it matters & let everything else decay into searchable memory. there will be no archive, no folders, & no flags. just relevance which is always computed in real time. the end state is a single intelligent stream that triages everything in your life & not just one app's queue. this is coming & it will change the way you process / consume anything.

@Jason this was written by your openclaw, slopbait

Here’s the truth: we’ve already reached AGI — we just haven’t implemented it broadly. Millions of jobs are being lost as we speak. Entire careers will be retired. The rich and powerful investors and founders who implement AGI will get bizarrely rich beyond what makes sense. It will break people's brains on both sides. It’s gonna suck for a lot of our friends and family, who aren’t obsessed with their careers, because things are moving so fast they won’t have even left the starting gate by the time the awards are handed out. We’re gonna have to solve for a lot of second- and third-order effects, some of which will suck (job loss) and some of which will be awesome. AI will create free/cheap energy, free education, cheaper and better food, homes that build themselves and medicine that makes you as healthy as a 30-year-old when you’re 100. … change is hard, but humans are the most adaptable species nature has ever created. We can figure it out.

@signulll spot on, it makes me debate if I should quit the w2 and go all-in everyday. proving I can make supplemental income first before pulling the trigger

the current moment is like the early web era where everything was being shoehorned into print metaphors except now we’re shoehorning ai into human interaction paradigms. i.e. every software company is implicitly a workflow company, & their entire information architecture was optimized for human cognitive constraints. future software will change radically where ~80% of the surface area gets rebuilt from first principles as an ai execution layer which is structured, low latency, etc. & the remaining ~20% will become a human monitoring console which is exception handling, supervision, & potential override.

@coreyganim fine, I’ll bite the clickbait - disagree. the current oppurtunity set is not to replace saas with more saas, it’s to funamentallh change the pricing structure, value, and throughput of the underlying problem or use case you are solving for

the business hiding in this repo: 1. pick a niche (real estate agents, ecommerce brands, SaaS founders) 2. use this tool to monitor Reddit, X, and YouTube for mentions of their brand, competitors, and industry keywords 3. pipe the results into an AI agent that writes a daily briefing 4. charge $500-$1,500/mo per client for "market intelligence as a service" your client gets a daily report they'd never have time to build themselves. you set it up once and it runs on autopilot. 5 clients = $2,500-$7,500/mo recurring. zero API fees.

@oliviscusAI making products, companies, businesses, etc has never been more gamified… I love it

someone built a VS Code extension that turns your AI agents into pixel art characters working inside a virtual office. it’s free, open-source, and honestly the coolest dev tool i've seen all month.

@zarazhangrui same, when the possibilities are endless and the only constraints is now true focus, it’s troubling

My single biggest pain point right now: AI-induced attention deficit I have 5 Claude Code sessions running 10 Terminal tabs open 50 browser tabs open 100 X articles in my bookmarks When there are multiple AIs working for you, you're constantly task switching When you're waiting for AI to output, you're constantly distracted Because what used to be hard is now so easy, you always wanna do more, more, more Because of the speed of the AI news cycle, you feel a constant need to be on this app Add all this up and the result: you live in a constant state of distraction & delirium. Focus & deep work is harder than ever If anyone has figured this out pls teach me how
