Yikes.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

This is real and raw, and the reason many people in AI right now are constantly oscillating between mania and hopelessness.

My advice is to figure out what you think should exist in the world that doesn’t. Something big. And difficult.

And then push like an insane person towards your own solution. How YOU would like to see it exist. That would be ideal for YOU.

Scorcese says “the most personal is the most creative”, ans I think this taste/experience-based building advice is needed more than ever in this moment.

Bought a new Mac mini to properly tinker with claws over the weekend. The apple store person told me they are selling like hotcakes and everyone is confused :)

I'm definitely a bit sus'd to run OpenClaw specifically - giving my private data/keys to 400K lines of vibe coded monster that is being actively attacked at scale is not very appealing at all. Already seeing reports of exposed instances, RCE vulnerabilities, supply chain poisoning, malicious or compromised skills in the registry, it feels like a complete wild west and a security nightmare. But I do love the concept and I think that just like LLM agents were a new layer on top of LLMs, Claws are now a new layer on top of LLM agents, taking the orchestration, scheduling, context, tool calls and a kind of persistence to a next level.

Looking around, and given that the high level idea is clear, there are a lot of smaller Claws starting to pop out. For example, on a quick skim NanoClaw looks really interesting in that the core engine is ~4000 lines of code (fits into both my head and that of AI agents, so it feels manageable, auditable, flexible, etc.) and runs everything in containers by default. I also love their approach to configurability - it's not done via config files it's done via skills! For example, /add-telegram instructs your AI agent how to modify the actual code to integrate Telegram. I haven't come across this yet and it slightly blew my mind earlier today as a new, AI-enabled approach to preventing config mess and if-then-else monsters. Basically - the implied new meta is to write the most maximally forkable repo and then have skills that fork it into any desired more exotic configuration. Very cool.

Anyway there are many others - e.g. nanobot, zeroclaw, ironclaw, picoclaw (lol @ prefixes). There are also cloud-hosted alternatives but tbh I don't love these because it feels much harder to tinker with. In particular, local setup allows easy connection to home automation gadgets on the local network. And I don't know, there is something aesthetically pleasing about there being a physical device 'possessed' by a little ghost of a personal digital house elf.

Not 100% sure what my setup ends up looking like just yet but Claws are an awesome, exciting new layer of the AI stack.

Hey, @AlexFinn love this foundation: building + alignment = dreams come true. The power is the system. A virtuous cycle unlock combo w/ @DanielMiessler’s Personal AI Infrastructure. Work like a brand strategist, from core WHY, out. Could be a cool collab? https://t.co/IuIdLcbltf

[Alex Finn @AlexFinn]

Biggest unlock for OpenClaw ever:

Giving it a mission statement

You NEED to give your OpenClaw a mission statement it puts at the top of your mission control

Now any time your agent is idle you can reverse prompt "what is 1 task we can do to get closer to our mission statement?"

My mission statement is "Build an autonomous organization of AI agents that does work for me and produces value 24/7"

With every prompt I give, this is included in context

Now multiple times a day I reverse prompt my agent and it comes up with tasks I've never even thought of to perform to make our organization more autonomous and valuable

I even schedule it to proactively do tasks to get us closer to this mission every night

If you don't have a mission statement yet, give your OpenClaw one

If you can't think of one, simply ask your agent "Based on what you know about me and what we've worked on, what would be a great mission statement for us to have so we can get closer to our goals?"

Then every day, have your agent get you closer to that goal

THIS is how you get value out of OpenClaw

@fortelabs @evernote I was a paying subscriber since 2011 but just dropped it in Dec. Too much 💸 for not enough value. AI not well used/integrated and other products do the basics they do for free now. Unfortunate cause they had such a leg up, imo.
