Six reasons to watch the playoffs closely -- Good luck gentlemen!

Anthropic is building a secure OpenClaw. Four features in 30 days, each one reverse-engineered from the open-source agent that hit 250K GitHub stars and 40,000 exposed machines.

The feature mapping is surgical:

OpenClaw: text agent from WhatsApp, it works on your desktop.
Anthropic: Dispatch (March 17). Persistent thread from phone to desktop.

OpenClaw: Discord and Telegram as control surfaces.
Anthropic: Claude Code Channels (March 20). MCP bridge to both.

OpenClaw: full OS access, browser control, app manipulation.
Anthropic: computer use in Cowork and Claude Code (today).

OpenClaw: 100+ community skills, no review process.
Anthropic: curated plugin marketplace with enterprise admin controls.

OpenClaw: heartbeat daemon, always-on 24/7.
Anthropic: desktop must stay open. Intentional friction. Runaway prevention.

The strategy is legible: let open source take the arrows, ship the enterprise-safe version before anyone else can. OpenClaw proved 250K developers want to text an AI that controls their computer. OpenClaw also proved that desire produces one-click RCEs, CrowdStrike threat advisories, agents creating dating profiles nobody asked for, inbox deletions during “automated cleanup,” and 20% malware rates in skill ecosystems. Anthropic studied every failure mode and built the inverse. Connectors before computer use. Permission prompts before every action. Sandboxed execution. Every constraint maps to a compliance checkbox.

Gaps remain. Dispatch requires Anthropic’s own mobile app. OpenClaw works in WhatsApp and iMessage, apps 3 billion people already use. No native messaging integration yet. Cowork needs your Mac awake with Claude Desktop running. No headless mode, no background daemon, no proactive monitoring where the agent messages you first. The “always-on coworker” positioning still requires you to be mostly-on yourself.

Here’s where it gets interesting. Steinberger built OpenClaw entirely on OpenAI’s Codex. Said his productivity doubled. Publicly called Claude Opus the best general-purpose agent while building the biggest agent project in history on a competitor’s coding tool. Joined OpenAI February 14. Altman posted he’d “drive the next generation of personal agents” and it would “quickly become core to our product offerings.”

Five weeks of “quickly”: GPT-5.4 with strong benchmarks. ChatGPT agent mode in a cloud sandbox. And a March 20 “code red” meeting where leadership concluded product fragmentation was losing them the race to Anthropic’s unified tools. The plan: merge ChatGPT, Codex, and Atlas into one superapp.

The core loop Steinberger proved, text from phone, agent works on your machine, you return to finished output, doesn’t exist in any OpenAI product. Their agent runs in an isolated cloud browser. No local files. No persistent desktop control. No async handoff. The person who built the most successful personal agent in history is inside OpenAI. The product that reflects his insight isn’t.

Anthropic sent trademark lawyers, then shipped the product. OpenAI sent an offer letter, then called a reorg. The agent race rewards shipping velocity over hiring velocity. One company is converting the OpenClaw demand signal into product. The other is converting it into org charts.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk is bringing out some of the best in humanity and it’s also exposing some of the worst. The unification, love, support, and outcry on his behalf throughout the world is heartwarming. The number of people supporting Tyler Robinson’s appalling behavior has opened my eyes to a side of extremism with a moral superiority complex that has also shaken my belief in people in general. I hope they are held accountable for their disgusting rhetoric.

I think most Patriots fans can agree the Pat The Patriot logo & red jerseys are simply superior.

Stop counting greens in regulation.

Start counting this stat instead.

GIR+1 might be your key to lower scores!

Krafts should clean house before next weekend. This is a clown show. Stop scapegoating coordinators.
Mayo is a mistake. Wolf is a mistake. Pay for some established bosses and start over. Every minute Krafts delay is wasted time.

Keith Rabois: “The velocity of your company improves by adding barrels”

Keith shares his “Barrels and Ammunition” framework for building effective teams:

“Most companies—once they get into hiring mode—just hire a lot of people. And you expect that as you add people your throughput and velocity of shipping things is going to increase. But it turns out it doesn’t work that way. Usually when you hire more engineers, you actually don’t get that much more done. You sometimes get less done.”

Keith argues that the reason for this is that most people in a company—even great people—are “ammunition.” But to improve velocity, you need “barrels”. He defines barrels as extremely talented people who can take ideas from inception all the way through to fully shipped product. Most companies start with one barrel (the founder). And when they add another, they can get twice as many things done per week, quarter, etc.

But true barrels are incredibly difficult to find:

“When you have them, give them lots of equity, promote them, take them to dinner every week because they’re virtually irreplaceable. They’re also very culturally specific. A barrel at one company may not be a barrel at another company.”

The Patriots do not deserve your time, attention or money. Robert Kraft should stop worrying about getting into Canton and start fixing his football team. Disgraceful.

Can barely contain my anger tonight at press colleagues who spent the last eight years cheering the digital censorship movement. This DEFCON 1 moment was brought to you by their cowardice

[Jon Sherman @practicalgolf]

To everyone teeing it up this weekend:

• Have fun
• Be grateful you get to play
• Take several moments to soak in the experience

Remember, it is just golf ⛳️
