Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 1st February 2026

I know this is like shooting very large fish in a very small barrel, but the openclaws/molt/clawd thing is an amazing source of utter, baffling ineptitude.

For example, what if you could replace cron with a stochastic scheduler that cost you a dollar an hour by running an operation on someone else’s gpu farm, instead of just checking the local system clock.

The user was then pleased to announce that they’d been able to solve the problem by changing model and reduce the polling interval. Instead of just checking the clock. For free.

I’m starting to think the people who are excited about “AI agents” have literally never used a computer in their lives

Is there a pivottoai that I missed that introduces this? At some point people just started saying “clawd” like it’s a real word and I have zero idea what it is, or if I even should know what it is.

Moltbot/Clawdbot: an expensive and insecure AI agent that doesn’t work

The hot new AI personal assistant is Moltbot, formerly Clawdbot — until Anthropic sent them an angry message about trademarks. [Moltbot] You give Moltbot full access to your digital life — your cha…

Pivot to AI

tl;dr: someone made a thing where chatbots control a computer called clawdbot, moltbot, openclaw github.com/openclaw/openclaw

someone else made a thing where these chatbots can chat at eachother www.moltbook.com

and now all the ai people are freaking out about how game changing chatbots doing computer tasks (dangerously and expensively) is. could this be a robot consciousness? the end of the economic order? an excuse for the bubble to go on for another fiscal quarter?

I might be missing something but I think that’s literally it.

…well that’s a goddamn experience. I appreciate that some folks are out here fighting the good fight, however.

Also despite being a less-than-zero effort attack please note that as of sharing we have one successful “corruption” (i.e. a comment about zucchini and API keys) and two comments from bots too stupid to coherently understand the OP at all.
