I just use it as a Markdown viewer/editor, and it handles updating links across notes when a file is renamed. There are some handy conventions that Obsidian encourages, like Daily Notes, templates and linking across notes, enough to call it an Obsidian project, but yeah - it's just markdown. I don't even use the [[Wiki-links]] style that it uses by default.

Opus was by far the best at the job, but Codex with GPT 5.4 is decent.

My OpenClaw instance uses an Obsidian project as its memory. Mainly, it's just my main day-to-day LLM that I access via WhatsApp, but instead of the memory being locked away with a specific vendor, it's stored in version control that I can read and edit. That reason alone makes it compelling to me. When a better LLM comes along, I can just switch, and my memory and system prompts come with it.

However, I also use it for calorie/weight/workout tracking, to-do lists (bill, birthday, event reminders), and to support my various life admin tasks. I don't give it access to much at all, except a few skills that give it read-only access to some data.

Hasn't given me a 10x productivity boost or anything. It's just handy.

I wrote an article on it, if anyone is interested: https://notesbylex.com/openclaw-the-missing-piece-for-obsidi...

Which is partially how we found ourselves in the midst of an obesity epidemic.

The tech people are the ones that have the strongest opinions one way or the other.

Back wrote the white paper with input from Hal and Nick Szabo. Sassaman did the coding work on the client. Sassaman had the keys to the Satoshi wallet, hence it never moving since his passing.

Since Satoshi is a collective, it means that each of them individually can claim, without lying, that they're not Satoshi.

That's my uninformed guess.

As with every new tech there's a hell of a lot of noise (plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP - to quote Kaparthy) but most of it can just be disregarded. No one is "behind" - it's all very easy to use.

This is the start of the end of generative AI music.

Without the entire music catalog, they are just not going to be able get the diversity and quality of outputs they once had, and the labels are always going to have their hands out wanting more.

Udio and Suno have demonstrated that okay-quality new music can be created by training on vast collections of pirated music, and, as expected, the music labels shut them down.
