Exactly. I've been disseminating a similar message for years.

The concentration of power in AI and the desire for control is by far the biggest danger of AI. It could lead to a few private companies and/or countries being in control of access to information, access to knowledge, and access to the tools of economic expansion.
It's a kind of medieval obscurantism akin to the Ottoman empire banning the use of the printing press for 200 years, in part to keep control of the dogma, but also to protect the corporation of the calligraphers and scribes.

Relevant historical bits about the Internet:
1. It took a deliberate decision by Al Gore and Bill Clinton to open up access of what was then ARPAnet to commercial entities and to the public, against the desires of the entrenched telecom industry. During a public roundtable about the "information superhighway" in 1993, the CEO of AT&T told Gore and Clinton "leave it to us". Gore said no.
2. In the late 1980s, setting up an Internet presence required buying proprietary hardware with proprietary OS and software stack from Sun Microsystems, HP, IBM, or Dell. By the 2000s, all of this was wiped out by commodity hardware, Linux, Apache, and an entirely free/open software stack. This migration to open platforms was the result of market forces.

Infrastructure wants to be open.
Foundation models are becoming an infrastructure and will inevitably become commoditized.
Long term, the money is in the application layer, which is what I, Arthur Mensch, Alex Karp, and others have been saying.

Supply chain attack on axios 1.14.1 - even if you don’t use axios it may be a nested dep.

Pin versions or wait until this is resolved

Sorry for the slow updates today, huge things brewing! We're going to have big news shortly, massive changes coming (for the better) to OpenClaw for Microsoft Teams sooner rather than later! I hope to have a roadmap out to you all sometime next week.

I can say that I've spoken to more than a dozen MIcrosoft employees who want to be involved, and we have a team of six dedicated to helping us as we sit, and I am sure that will grow. They're dogfooding OpenClaw, it isn't all talk.

I was also on a call today with @steipete and many from the team, and they too want to get Microsoft Teams, and other extensions and plugins in a better state. It is inspiring to see so many tremendously talented folks rowing in the same direction for the common good.

Thank you to all the Microsofties out there and thanks to all of you for your patience! I love being the dumbest guy in the room, and working with the amazing volunteers at OpenClaw, and at Microsoft - I can assure you that's the case!

@burkeholland @asaio87 Personal software <3 I can finally have all those apps, the way I want them. Fitted to my needs. I don't want to compromise and add feature-fluff anyone else might need.

Next time someone asks “what is UX?” say: “The application of behavioral psychology and cognitive science to software interfaces”. It is important to surface that #UX is a science-based skill, not just “make it pretty”.
