Am I right to be a little concerned by the phrase "it'll go straight to the pirate bay"?

Not to be a narc or anything, but is OpenClaw liable to just perform illegal acts on your behalf just because it seemed like that's what you meant for it to do?

EFF is leaving X 3 months ago

If an organisation had any serious chance of moving the needle by staying on X, musk would simply find a reason to ban them. X leadership isn't interested in fair and balanced discussion.

I've made a couple with the Kumihimo technique, using cheap embroidery thread. The texture is similar to paracord, but you get your own pick of colors and patterns. I'm surprised at how durable they are.

Hopefully not. I'm impressed with the engineering, it is a technological achievement, but my only hope right now is that this tech plateaus pretty much immediately. I can't think of a single use-case that wouldn't be at best value-neutral, and at worst extremely harmful to the people interacting with it.

I don't think it's obnoxious to protect your trademark against a literal homophone operating in the same space as you. I'm confident a lot of people heard about "clawdbot" and assumed it was an anthropic product.

the lack of capitalization (and occasional omission of punctuation) was already a big thing on tumblr / twitter 10 years ago, especially in some anime and LGBT-adjacent spaces. I don't think jyn got it from Sam Altman, and I don't think he had that big a role in popularizing it.

I think there's quite a jump from "ChatGPT has a high user retention rate" to "AI is useful to people". That's like saying funko pops were useful to nerds just because they kept buying them.
