One 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!
@anildash I think this is people realizing that automation exists and that computers can do stuff.
The story of the guy who burned through his credits by using an AI agent to remind him to buy Milk the next day is an example of someone who just doesn't know how to use a computer.
I mean, set a couple of calendar reminders. It's not that hard.
But instead... WooWo0!!! Computers can do stuff for you is such a revelation to people.
What have they been doing all these years?
