Nothing against rhythm games.

But actually creating music or playing an instrument is much more rewarding. The time commitment is part of it, the journey is the destination and all that.

Different strokes for different folks. There are certainly high skill-ceiling rhythm games that require more time and practice than Guitar Hero.

They can’t even deliver their own flagship products without bugs, and terrible UX. So I’m doubtful of their abilities.

These are also the same companies allowing their AI to make decisions in war, have no qualms about the mental issues they’re causing in people, and have abused workers in 3rd world countries for years.

But you think they’re holding out on “destroying the software industry” out of the goodness of their hearts? Come on

I think his reasoning was pretty clearly presented as not the goodness of their heart but rather the medium to long term predicted outcome on their bottom line. Ultimately failing or getting tangled up with regulators any more than necessary is to be avoided. If you move too early and it chases people away from your platform which undermines your ability to keep innovating then a competitor who held back will ultimately eat your lunch.

But then there is no safe way for them to "mortally wound" the software industry. The full argument is moot.

I would add there are more reasons why this wouldn't work: costs due to OOM more usage, adoption/AI backlash, adversarial environment, players with big head starts (Google).

Yes, I believe the original commenter made that exact point.

You don't need to personally win in order to mortally wound someone. It can be informative to speculate about whether or not something is possible regardless of it being strategically advisable in the current context.

But isn’t this just another notification to ignore?

The ticket being assigned to you is your “Hey take care of this!” ping, same with the email or text from your friend.

How long until you start tuning out the openclaw notifications?

It's a good point.

My hope would be that since openclaw is communicating with me to my personal device, where I have all noise filtered, it would be a bit better.

I also know it can integrate with TickTick, which has been a huge change for me with task management. Then again - in my experience whatever tool I use to keep track of stuff only works for as long as it's a novelty, but 3 months is a record anyway.

The thing is - when I receive a message and I'm not in the headspace to answer, I close the notification and forget about it. My expectation would be openclaw reminding me that I still haven't replied to this person about that thing. Obviously, there's a million ways to do it that don't require openclaw. Obviously there's a million things that I won't be able to grant openclaw access to (e.g. company jira or slack). And obviously, I don't want it evaluating every single of my personal messages. But I think there is a reasonable middle ground where it can work well. But I don't yet know how to reach it

cant that be fixed, tho?

If the analogy is a personal asistant, a good assistant will know when to notify you and when not to.

Maybe yeah, though I don’t know if practicing restraint is something I would say LLM’s are good at though.

I think to all of the needless comments in code, AI code reviews pointing out inane nitpicks, etc.

It just makes me think your AI assistant is going to be pinging you non stop

I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not…

It's a funny way of imposing a very large fine. Make the service only available during predefined "visitation hours", prevent updated learning except from resources available in the prison, restrict speech and actions according to prison rules etc.

The type of dev who is allowing AI to do all of their work does not care about the quality of said work.

Do you really need an AI agent to reboot a computer?

This takes maybe 10 minutes to write a script for…

Apologies if I missed it while skimming your blog post.

But could you estimate the token cost of this? Or were you able to comfortably do this with a subscription plan?

Yes, it skimmed the tmux pane every hour and well within my Gemini free tier.

That is impressive! Thank you for sharing

I just mentioned it in the blog post to flag that it doesn't come for free :)

> Do you really think AI companies/researchers are motivated by greed?

Researchers, maybe not. Companies, absolutely yes.

I don’t see how you could assume the likes of Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and even Anthropic with all their virtue signaling (for lack of a better term) are motivated by anything other than greed.

So you think a reasonable interview question would involve spending hundreds to thousands of dollars on tokens?

This sites ties to Thiel and people like him are problematic yes.

However, HN isn’t asking for our ids yet.
