Just spoke to a friend who's running OpenClaw (f.k.a. MoltBot f.k.a. Clawdbot). What I didn't get before is the "everybody is buying Mac mini's" element. I thought this was all about sandboxing, and it's partially that, but also partially because the Sillicon Valley AI-pilled crowd don't have a machine in their home that is on 24/7 yet.

OpenClaw may just end up being a gateway to #SelfHosting. Once this whole OpenClaw experiment implodes, because — I'm just guessing — people figure out it cannot be secured, is ludicrously expensive and actually not that useful. People will be left with little computers in their home that they have no use for anymore.

Hello! 👋 How about you start self hosting stuff. Like, I don't know @silverbulletmd ! #AlwaysASilverLining

I've reached the age where most of my conversations and emails are about health conditions. The fun never stops. Still, I'm still here to take part in the complaining! #middleagedfuntimes #alwaysasilverlining
Setting the rest of this disaster aside for a moment, if I was in state or municipal government, I would be recruiting up a storm and hosting a big jobs fair. A ton of great government employees just showed up in the prospect pool. #AlwaysASilverLining #ItsStillATerribleThing
