Magical OpenClaw experiences that use frontier models cost $300-1,000/day today, heading to $10,000/day and more. The future shape of the entire technology industry will be how to drive that to $20/month.

@bryan_johnson Not at all. Just reminding people that aging is more than skin deep.


gpt-5.4 was basically unusable for me in @openclaw. it would explain what needs to be done, I’d say “ok do it,” and then… nothing. no action, no feedback, sometimes it would just go silent or say it’s “working” with zero visibility. felt like babysitting an intern that never actually touched the keyboard switched to @NousResearch Hermes agent and it’s night and day. same model, but now it actually executes. on par with opus-4.6 for me no idea why the gap is that big but yeah, huge relief after losing Claude OAuth in openclaw


As of now, the best way to scrape data that isn’t part of the public web, is writing custom scripts, which AI can do great, saving a ton of time. Going screen by screen with browser use is not realistic for large volume, will eat a lot of tokens, and very slow. A good way to automate the dev of such scripts, is to run it with browser use first, record the workflow down to the HTML selector details and then scale with a scrapper script.








"Using coding agents well is taking every inch of my 25 years of experience as a software engineer." Simon Willison (@simonw) is one of the most prolific independent software engineers and most trusted voices on how AI is changing the craft of building software. He co-created Django, coined the term "prompt injection," and popularized the terms "agentic engineering" and "AI slop." In our in-depth conversation, we discuss: 🔸 Why November 2025 was an inflection point 🔸 The "dark factory" pattern 🔸 Why mid-career engineers (not juniors) are the most at risk right now 🔸 Three agentic engineering patterns he uses daily: red/green TDD, thin templates, hoarding 🔸 Why he writes 95% of his code from his phone while walking the dog 🔸 Why he thinks we're headed for an AI Challenger disaster 🔸 How a pelican riding a bicycle became the unofficial benchmark for AI model quality Listen now 👇 youtu.be/wc8FBhQtdsA


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.
