Clawdbot Bought Me a Car

> Since I needed a home desktop anyway, I picked up a new Mac Mini for Clawd (a popular trend on the internet in these past few weeks)

I find this trend hilarious. Tim Cook is rubbing his hands like a fly.

DANmode•1w ago
because he successfully kept Apple-hosted AI offerings on the shelf long enough that Apple ecosystem people…learned local models…and bought more Apple hardware for it?

That’s the theory?

neuronexmachina•1w ago
It's odd, because as far as I can tell, the only reason one would need a Mac Mini would be for iMessage. Other than that, a Raspberry Pi should work perfectly fine and cost an order of magnitude less.

Seems like kind of an asshole move when it comes to dealing with dealers tbh
victorp13•1w ago
All is fair in love and dealing with car dealers.
astuyvenberg•1w ago
I disagree simply because of all the automation and software asymmetry in the existing dealership status quo. Seems fair to me, but I respect your opinion.
garciasn•1w ago
Can you please explain this, because I frankly don't understand your thinking.
xyzsparetimexyz•1w ago
No matter how horrible a sales person is, having a machine fake a human front to interact with them feels unethical. I don't care if they did it first.
garciasn•1w ago
So; being that they use tooling to help set prices dynamically and put the customer at a severe disadvantage, doing the same thing to claw back some of the advantage that the dealer has is unethical?

Ok: would having the human sit in between the process guided by the LLM be better?

DANmode•1w ago
It’s emails for info that,

if they weren’t trying to extract maximum value from each customer based on demographics,

they would have POSTED IN THE LISTING FOR THE CAR.

The salesperson’s excess profit (commission) is derived purely from how much extra they can make you pay over what the dealership requires them to sell the car at.

So, they’ll not only pretend to be a human to get you to start interacting with them,

but knowing they’re trying to charge you more if you say the wrong thing compared to your peers still isn’t enough to be okay with a computer involved?

As an amateur sociologist, I’d pay to hear what other hardline stances you have.

DANmode•1w ago
Which of your friends or relatives is the car dealership person?
mjd•1w ago
I wanted to read this, but I couldn't because the text was light gray on white background.
astuyvenberg•1w ago
Fixed, sorry about that. Would you mind trying again? I can get the LLM to add a dark mode too.
mjd•1w ago
Still not good, sorry.

Before I posted the comment I had tried looking at it in reverse video, very similar to your night mode. It was a little better, but not enough for me.

Update: it looks fine on my desktop computer. It's only illegible on my phone. Maybe use a heavier font?
