I'm genuinely curious what will happen in a month or two when much of the primary functionality of OpenClaw is shipped from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.
I think there will always be value in the bleeding edge, and these companies can't take the same security risks, so The Claw isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Will it fade away, replaced by the monoliths of the future, or will it thrive alongside them, like Android or Linux?
What models will be available, and at what price, outside of their native harnesses once the benefit of acquiring customers slips and companies become more cost sensitive?
Will efficiency improvements drive the cost of legacy models down enough to offset the winding down of subsidies?
Will usable local models ever be attainable for the masses?
The future is so exciting. I have no clue what is going to happen, at the same time, I know exactly what is going to happen.
AI is going to eat the world.
It's hard to price the value creation explosion that will result from OpenClaw being open source.
It's the best tech experience I've had in over decade of using internet. It sounds like hyperbole, but it is insane to use a piece of software that tangibly gets better as you use it.
I think this experience will scale to literally billions of users.
The fact that it's open source though means that there won't be one company that necessarily dominates this.
I think this is just how all new software will be made. Self-improving Clawbot inspired agents.
So at the earliest stages right now I believe the next billion dollar applications are being started and built right now.
@TheBrancaShow@Freemarkethuman@MaxMcGuireTX Lmao. On video that the cops released the officer calls and checks if they are real, audibly confirms it with whoever he called. No ambiguity whatsoever, he made it crystal clear with his words. The papers were real. Did you even try to research this?
@IamR0galD0rn Yeah agreed. There are orgs that watch franchises and help people share when and how they were scammed by them. Just by being a franchise model it makes it likely there is something shady happening. We will see, I wonder if other owners that lost their stores have NDAs.
@RifeTechnology@GrizzledTexan Cooked. Absolutely cooked. There's no new information that can make this better. Ben could turn out to be Al Qaeda and it wouldn't matter.
@RifeTechnology I didn't know the places existed, and at first I immediately wanted to visit and buy from them. Unless they fire the CEO and publicly apologize, and drop the lawsuits, I wouldn't even consider spending a dollar there. Not even sure if that would do it tbh.
@TheBrancaShow@IanRunkle Lmao. Now I know you're either biased for some reason in this case or purposely trolling for clicks. Impossible you're not aware that the offers were insulting.
@AlligatormattM@Andresdevtv@IamR0galD0rn@MrsNesbitt17 They're cooked unless they reverse course. There might be other franchisees waiting to sue them that they're also avoiding. This seize and sell the franchise move may have happened a few times before.
Prediction: CEO will be fired, and they will try and shower the old man with apologies and money. Otherwise this company is going bankrupt. They'll never recover enough damages from the lawsuits they're filing.
The LEGO Community is completely abandoning Bricks and Minifigs & it is very pleasing to watch! 🍿
TheBrickGuru a well known LEGO YouTuber is telling everyone how he was about to head down to a BAM location but now he won’t be patronizing them anymore.
Consequences! #LEGOheist
@AshtonEck8@mounties777 You have links to these auctions that you're referring to? Would make your case a lot more powerful if you can show a pattern. This one going low is meaningless without other context.
@dirkcryptodiggy@LuxuryWatchGuy1 But the % of inventory held by middlemen is probably at an all time high and rising. Some collectors will sell as they may own too many watches and the dip will coincide with an overall market downturn most likely. People need money and their 10k watch is first to go.
@growintfast@LuxuryWatchGuy1@ajaxjones Rolex's will be one of the last things to be perfectly counterfeit, if at all. When robots are indistinguishable from elite watchmakers, the world will be a very different place.
Granted they can make them look pretty real already.
@_WormRunner_@TheBrancaShow Terrible job by the interviewer. I thought he was in on it, but I've watched more content and I'm not sure. The man literally asked tough questions, interrupted the CEO to answer the questions for him. I think he was uncomfortable with how poorly the CEO was communicating.
@BikeMan@TheBrancaShow@drmc0628 I think he's trying to comment on this without watching the videos all the way through, and he's missing important context. Like this guy asking, "who's that?" in this clip is insane. He knows who it is, this is not a recent scandal, only recently viral outside of the hobby.
@TheBrancaShow@drmc0628 My personal opinion is that they pushed out the store owner, resold the franchise, and purposefully attempted to pad the store's inventory by 100k or so by commandeering this guy's stuff. Both Ben and the woman who lost her store were accused of using heroin. This all wreaks.
@TheBrancaShow@drmc0628 Everyone involved is on tape admitting knowledge of the deal and possession of the Legos, and the current owner of the store is on tape threatening to not return it unless conditions were met. It may take some hours, but I hope you watch Ben's videos and the subsequent interviews
