Hey I'm really impressed and hoping to connect. I followed you on X just now, is that a decent place to shoot you a DM? I don't want anything from you, we just seem to be working on similar things (I'm working on our internal agent harness here, at a healthcare startup).

it's a venture backed software + services company. the things we use openclaw for are not specific to what our company does. It's literally being used as an additional employee(s). Think about what people do -> OpenClaw does a subset of those things. Emailing, pulling data our of our platform to putting them into PDFs because a customer requested it, updating things in our CRM, answering support tickets, internal help desk type work... "how does so and so feature work in xyz edge case"... etc etc etc.

Yes, at our company we are using it very extensively. I genuinely believe we're near the forefront of usage. We have multiple isolated OpenClaw instances serving as employee within Slack.

Why isn’t this getting any love? What’s the catch?

I’d really appreciate an explanation of this:

How does Codex / Claude Code compare to working within Cursor with the chat and agents? Are they effectively the same thing?

Is one significantly better than the other. Please share your experiences around this I’m trying to be ass effective of an engineer as I can be at our company. - Mike

Very serious question:

How is this better than using Google with an ad blocker?

That’s my current solutions, why should I switch to paying for Kagi? Ty!

How much does it cost? I’m super curious.

just get the fuck off of your computers

Could we chat about this?

Hey, where should I hit you up?

Hey! I don’t think it would be a few million. If someone offered me a few million then yes I would sell.

(solidaffiliate.com and AnalyticsWP.com are the two active projects)

Hey, I genuinely appreciate your reply. I hope you have a good week kind stranger.

Hey! Why did you open source it? Genuinely curious.

Hi! Why does it work best with Python? Should I even bother if it’s for a non python project? (In this case, a WordPress plugin).

Thank you!

Hey, did you make these all by hand? I’m curious and impressed.

Hey, I have a genuine question:

What is the point of a new model that isn’t better than the best possible model (example: OpenAI GPT-4)?

What’s the point in having a smaller model? Who cares?

This is a real, genuine question that I don’t have a clear answer to. Excuse my ignorance, plz enlighten your boi.

moomooskycow, thanks for such a thoughtful response. I've read it and re-read it.

The vast majority the last decade has been solopreneuring. I've had a stint at larger companies, but usually as a consultant.

It's likely immature of me, but I gravitate strongly towards "meritocracy" and the simplest purest form of that - for me - has been to work almost entirely alone. And I am acutely aware of all the things I'm giving up in an idealized situation: working alongside great people who are smarter and more passionate than me, cool benefits, money, etc.

I deeply believe that I'd be incredibly valuable to the right company, for the right job, and that the salary and social benefits and such could change my life and lives of my family (and future family!).

But, I've failed as far as finding that just right job.

Here is immature Mike's train of thought regarding this, perhaps someone else can relate?: "I don't want to go do the thing that so many of my peers have done: get a job at a largish tech company, work super hard for 6 months and then fade into a passive state of not really doing anything besides fielding slack notifications and collecting large pay checks. Idk it just feels so lame. It feels immoral. But those people seem to be killing it, they have the money and their girlfriends feel secure and stable, they have friends and get sent on cool business trips. Maybe I'm the one who has it all wrong, and I'm going to slowly age into irrelevance with nothing but my misplaced pride...etc etc etc"

-----

All that to say, perhaps it's fear of rejection that is keeping me from reaching out and finding that "just-right" job that leverages my "economically valuable" skills.

Your words have struck a chord, and I will make the aforementioned serious effort towards finding a compromise between earnings and outlets.

Thank you, and I hope to keep in touch. - Mike

Ted, Thanks! Come to think of if, something along the lines of bartending or waiting tables does check both the [x] physical and [x] social boxes! Good idea!

Thank you Matt!

I wish you all the best kind friend.

haha well said!

SkyMarshal, how does a 31 year old programmer get into something like this? With little to no experience of construction?

Thank you tjr, I really appreciate this comment. Hope you have a wonderful day.

but I want to make a bunch of money like the San Francisco AI people.

I'm in Los Angeles, if anyone else is I'd be stoked to meet! - Mike

Hi! I have a fee important questions before using this :)

Namely, is there some way to estimate how much it will cost in OpenAI credits.

My repo has a vendor folder with thousands of dependency files. Will each of these be sent off to OpenAI for embeddings?

Would you kindly provide any and all info, can’t wait to try this but I’m worried it’ll cost way more than I’m anticipating.

Thank you for the feedback!

To anyone thinking "maybe don't post this! You might get flagged by the AI censors / state governments"...I rest my case.

That's exactly why we need systems like ChinaGoodSide.com: so that when we post ideas that tip our social scores out of favor, our AI sidekick will nudge them back into place!
