Amazing how bad Anthropic can miss the boat on this

Miss the boat on what? Idiotic agents with no sandboxing, with the door fully open for prompt injection purgatory? There's nothing interesting about this technology other than how dumb it is and how badly it will spam the internet (see https://theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-published-a-hit-piece-on... for how bad agent slop has gotten).

This is an Anthropic fumble and Clawdbot could have been theirs a long time ago instead of going to OpenAI who cleverly outdone them on marketing this fumble.

Anthropic just made themselves look incredibly bad with the way they handled that when they sent a cease and desist to OpenClaw which that back-fired right in their faces.

Mistakes have been made.

Exactly the same as the OpenCode drama, at this point OpenAI are just getting free customers from common sense.

Anthropic seem oddly focused on their moat being the app, rather than the underlying intelligence and model. Which is odd when Claude Claude is no better than all the other harnesses.

I thought Pete mentioned on lex's podcast that anthropic did not send a cease and desist. They kindly asked him to remove all references .to Clawd from the project

An employee told him they need to rename ASAP or lawyers will get involved. Is that much different from a C&D? Even if he received a formal C&D, he could have done the exact same thing (rename) and be fine.

It's a meme project. I'm not a CEO fanboy but Open AI leadership chases hype while Anthropoc's leadership seems more focused on useful things. So the acquisition makes sense.

OpenClaw will be open as OpenAI.

On the Lex podcast, it seemed that Peter liked Mark Zuckerberg more than Sam Altman.

Maybe it was a move to make Sam come with overwhelming offer.

Feel like I've missed the boat here on OpenClaw.

What value is it actually producing? It feels like its a bunch of meme projects.

I get that in theory, it has full chat and desktop access, which could be useful, but seems like nothing useful has been created yet.

Mostly it seems people are excited about sending a whatsapp message to it and it will turn off all the lights in their office for example. Do similarly for emails, calendars, etc. that is, of course, you’re willing to accept the Faustian bargain it presents you.
