When people say code is the bottleneck, they don’t always mean the lack of code: it’s also the accumulation of code, which becomes like plaque clogging your arteries. When you have too many people pumping out too much code, it can be the death of your startup. Startups have failed from writing way too much code.

What the hell am I reading, you guys know you can make little scripts for commands with prefilled options or even take in parameters?

Why bother with OpenClaw? Just call the CLI command directly. That is the point of a CLI.

Absolutely not. It will be token usage.

I won’t believe AI is truly being met with violence until I see one of these AI tech billionaires get shot multiple times by a person with nothing left to lose. Until we reach that point, it means people still have hope.

Exactly, so many people reach for these complex toolings and ecosystems.

Their static pages are just a bunch of fucking text files you can print with some CLI commands.

If using an LLM why bother with python? Go for straight shell scripts.

How can we automate the disclosure of what AI agent was used in a PR and the extent of code? Would be nice to also have an audit of prompts used, as that could also be considered “code”.

It works if you just add a magnet sticker somewhere when you remove your plate.

You can remove your license plate, you will get pretty far before it actually gets you pulled over.

Those can be replaced. The damage to US reputation and influence will last the rest of our lives.

No way, even in this future VR still won’t catch on with the mainstream.

A decade or two from now your children will be dropping thousands of dollars to go to a concert to hear AI generated music from an AI generated artist.

The one thing that still should give you hope is that the Idiocracy is reversible, unlike other things such as climate change or nuclear Armageddon.

Silicon Valley probably wouldn’t work as well today since they would vibe code everything and a lot of the drama would be removed that way.

The LISTEN/NOTIFY feature really just doesn’t get enough PR. It is perfectly suitable for production workloads yet people still want to reach for more complicated solutions they don’t need.
