The article chronicles how Anthropic’s Claude Code and the open‑source tool OpenClaw ignited a rapid surge of AI‑agent adoption in 2025‑2026, turning developers into “Claudeholics” who could automate complex coding, personal errands, and business workflows. It follows Peter Steinberger’s creation of OpenClaw—later renamed after viral GitHub fame—and the massive productivity boosts reported by figures such as Garry Tan and Ryan Petersen, while also exposing the chaos, security risks, and costly token consumption that arise when agents are deployed unchecked. Experts like Thomas Reardon and Marc Andreessen argue this technology will become the default way people use computers, yet warnings about hallucinations, data exposure, and potential job displacement persist, suggesting that mastering AI‑agent automation will be a decisive cognitive advantage in the coming era.

The article examines why tech billionaire Joe Lonsdale—known for extremist statements and support of former President Trump—has become the top donor to San José Mayor Matt Mahan’s bid for California governor. Lonsdale contributed the maximum $78,400, outspending even right‑wing candidates, while Mahan, a newcomer with only a mayoral résumé, has attracted a cascade of Silicon‑Valley money from figures such as Sergey Brin, Y Combinator’s Garry Tan, Michael Seibel, Marc Merrill, Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund partner Brian Singerman, and executives from Anduril. The piece argues that Mahan, though running as a Democrat, serves the interests of right‑leaning tech oligarchs, advocating “back‑to‑basics” policies that threaten the poor and oppose progressive initiatives like a billionaire wealth tax. By funding a Democratic candidate with conservative policy leanings, these billionaires aim to capture the governor’s office despite California’s long‑standing Republican drought, highlighting a broader strategy of tech money reshaping state politics.

Garry Tan is putting on a conference this week and it is a wild & weird basket of right wing loonies.
