i’m not trying to dismiss this article entirely as i did get value around from discussion around verifying

but this coming from a VC firm invested in token producing companies and quoting the “genius” behind openclaw makes me think this is just an psyop of over engineering to get ppl to blindly spend tokens on the LLM slot machine

Not really; looping is a requirement when there's an imperfect generator: LLMs. I read the article some days ago and included the citation in my own.
