Can we please get a break?

Praying to the security gods.

It seems like we've have non-stop supply chain attacks for months now?

If DoD systems are running on OpenAI infrastructure, you can't just pause them for 6 months during an acquisition. This gets far more complex than just "liquidation of assets".

What happens if OpenAI collapses at this point? Is it just too big to fail given defense contracts and Microsoft?

The Sora sunsetting marked a big shift towards enterprise focus and meeting Anthropic on the enterprise battlefield, but almost all engineers I work with or know are using Claude at this point exclusively.

Anyone seeing differently?

Gave you a star as well. Love the idea and the demo/configurator is very slick.

Looked at the "how it works" -- is there a way to manually specify leaf element sizing? Thinking about dynamically sized elements that don't have markup-level specified sizes yet via bounding boxes.

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

What's the threshold function? Do you have graduating `No --> Partially --> Mostly --> Open`?

Also what's the update cadence?

How do you think the vibe-coding layman audience is using OpenClaw?

I'm observing that there is some kind of status quo bias nearly uniformly being surfaced by the programming community right now.

I myself have feelings like this, as a software engineer by trade.

"We will forever be useful!" As a sounding cry against radical transformation. I hope that's the case, but some of these pieces just seem like copium.

Incredible uptick in supply chain attacks over the last few weeks.

I feel like npm specifically needs to up their game on SA of malicious code embedded in public projects.

>Letting an LLM write for you is like paying somebody to work out for you.

It's worse than this. If someone is working out for you, they still own the outcome of that effort (their physique).

With an LLM people _act_ like the outcome is their own production. The thinking, reasoning, structural capability, modeling, and presentation can all just as easily be framed _as your creation_.

That's why I think we're seeing an inverse relationship between ideation output and coherence (and perhaps unoriginality) and a decline in creative thinking and creativity[0]

As the "agent web" progresses, how will advertisers actually get access to human eyeballs?

Will our agents just be proxies for garbage like injected marketing prompts?

I feel like this is going to be an existential moment for advertising that ultimately will lead to intrusive opportunities like this.

> The technical debt so deep and so normalized that the team has stopped seeing it as debt at all. It's just "how the system works." The chains have become comfortable. You are about to add more.

This one hurt.

Watch out, this is about to be banned in the Southern/Midwestern US /s

Gambling is a great example. When I say "ego" I really mean the reinforcement of the individual pattern through survival-resource games, power play, or external validation. I'm not using it in the classic psychological way, perse.

Regulation could work, but in my opinion the problem isn't devious mastermind product people attempting to entrap humanity -- it's self entrapment in a recursive way.

Regulators could add red tape and boundaries for what is or isn't kosher or legal, but in the end can prohibition fix systemic integration with addictive technological superagonist of our own creation?

I'm not ignorant of human nature and tribalistic tendencies. The undercurrent of my comment is of an optimistic hope (or cope) that we can move past competitive individual validation programming. I'm aware that it's due to our nature, but also aware that it's exploited by dark patterns and extraction at scale through software.

I'd hope the next iteration of social media tools humanity builds are less about reinforcing the individual ego and more about collective improvement, learning, and supporting the health of our species.

Anecdote, but it does seem like a lot of younger folks I speak with are exhausted by the dark patterns and dopamine extraction that top-k social media platforms create.

If agents/AI/bots inadvertently destroy the current incarnation of social media through noise, I think we'll be better for it.

Seedance 2.0 is about to eat reap the market gap Sora creates. It's truly superior in every way. It felt like Sora was stunted by OpenAI for long, consistent video generation (not to mention the crazy red tape around what you could generate).

Read The Dark Enlightenment by Nick Land.

My tinfoil pet conspiracy is that the billionaires know AI is going to be fundamentally incompatible with Capitalism and Democracy and are pressing the gas pedal to force us into a state of corp-state run techno-feudalism.

The TL;DR to you can extrapolate from: Nick Land believes that the Catholic church was the only true exemplar of a perfect control mechanism for humanity.

I'm growing pessimistic that this kind of activity + the egregious presidential-level crypto scams will never see justice. What's the path for that, really?

I keep getting stuck on the liability problem of this supposed "new world". If we take this as far as it goes: AI agent societies that designs, architects, and maintains the entire stack E2E with little to no oversight. What happens when rogue AIs do bad things? Who is responsible? You have to have fireable senior engineers that understand deep fundamentals to make sure things aren't going awry, right? /s

This is amazing. Still waiting for the "Medusa" class AMD chips to build my own AI machine.

Grok's UVP is still nonconsensual porn, right?

This is really cool -- pedantically, I've always thought "full spectrum" is actually misleading from a traditional photographic sense. Like IR + visible light + UV != full spectrum. I'd love to see post-processed imagery of every-day life through an extended view of broader EM energy (similar to astrophotography)... like what does a city scene look like with x-rays and microwaves included?

Side note: have always loved this image https://imgur.com/NZjWfWT of rainbows with UV and IR visible.

The smells suspiciously like a well positioned gag that is secretly seeking VC attention. The emotional reaction turned attention seeking feels a bit like having ulterior motives... or maybe Moltbook has made me paranoid?
