Emil Michael: “If you don’t want your software to be used for Department of War stuff, you shouldn't be selling to the Department of War.”
Under Secretary of War @emilmichael on his frustrations with Anthropic:
“We started these negotiations, and it took three months, and I had to sort of give them scenarios, like this Chinese hypersonic missile example.”
“And they're like, ‘Okay, we'll give you an exception for that.’ Well, how about this drone swarm? ‘We'll give you an exception for that.’”
“And I was like, exceptions don't work. I can't predict for the next 20 years all the things we might use AI for.”
@Jason:
“If you find out there's another 9/11 unique black swan event that's going to occur, you’d have to go clear it with them?”
Emil:
“That was literally the comment. It was in a room of 20 people, so this is undeniable if Dario wants to deny it, and I was giving these scenarios, these Golden Dome scenarios, and so on, and he's like, ‘Just call me if you need another exception.’”
“And I'm like, ‘But what if the balloon's going up at that moment and it's a decisive action we have to take?’ Like, I'm not gonna call you to do something. It's not rational. And that was another ‘holy cow’ moment of, like, how they think about it.”
Not everything has to be so serious.
Here's my Openclaw setup:
#1 Discord is the best tool for organizing and communicating with the models:
- Use channels for system prompts & cron outputs
- In channels, use Threads as sessions
- Setup stautsline in Voice groups, since they can update dynamically.
----------------------
#2 For heartbeats configure a cheap-fast model to prevent ridiculous bills.
- Heartbeats are automated cron workflow define well
- They don't need high intelligence pick a good instruction follower, I use MiniMax-M2.5 / Haiku / GLM
- Don't spam them, every heartbeat is an opportunity to get wrecked (if the model is interacting w outside world)
----------------------
#3 Don't use it directly to do coding, but use it to update it's configurations and for chat.
- You can use codex as a "coding-agent" which is much more efficient and functional
- You need a way to track all the code and all the configs it and it's subagents are changing (git)
- Give it TTS and STT with elevenlabs and parakeet, typing is wasteful most of the time.
----------------------
#4 Rag your data
- Install all of your data from x, github, etc.. and build a RAG on top
- Ask questions like "what did i tweet about 3 days ago"? "how much did i spend in January?" etc..
- Keep track of all your side projects, this helps you prioritize
What I do with it:
- Support with shopping: I would usually use something like GPT's agent mode for this, but I can get farther with this.
- Research, Github, content trackers: keep up with the news and interests
- Debug and change app UI while i'm using it from another device.
- Chat, ask questions, customize, play, learn, have FUN.
Time to consider not just human visitors, but to treat agents as first-class citizens. Cloudflare’s network now supports real-time content conversion to Markdown at the source using content negotiation headers.
