Anil DashOne of the things that's most frustrating about the hype cycle around OpenClaw is that so much of what people are excited about is just... software? You can automate doing lots of cool stuff with your inbox with deterministic software that's been around for decades, and it won't delete your inbox! And much of it is easier to install than OpenClaw is!
Sean Coates@anildash I haven't used it (and I won’t—at least not as it is), but I think a big part of the hype is that people feel tools like this can give them *agency* over their software.
We used to have this. There was more diversity in things like email clients and people could choose how to view their feeds via external apps. Communication apps could connect to multiple networks and often had things like scripting.
OpenClaw "makes this easy”.
People are tired of being waterboarded by the firehose.
