Hard leftists and DSA-types will fight AI tooth and nail because AI is the universal solvent for socialism’s three prerequisites.

AI will reduce scarcity (abundance), eliminate victimhood (agency), and eliminate the need for intermediaries (disintermediation).

This is already built @ycombinator. It's @therobotnetwork.

Let's show you a demo

Company Brain
@t_blom

Every company has critical know-how scattered across people's heads, old Slack threads, support tickets, and databases, and AI agents can't operate like that.

We think every company in the world is going to need a new primitive: a living map of how the company works that turns its own artifacts into an executable skills file for AI.

I love @openclaw, but it’s not for the masses. It’s for tinkerers and those with fat wallets (high classes). A cracked team is building something for the masses. Stay tuned. @garrytan

This is big... Anthropic just announced a model so powerful they won't release it to the public out of fear over the damage it will cause 😨

Claude Mythos Preview found thousands of zero-day exploits in every major operating system and web browser...

The numbers are hard to believe:
> $50 to find a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD, one of the most security-hardened operating systems ever built

> Under $1,000 to find AND build a fully working remote code execution exploit on FreeBSD that grants unauthenticated root access from anywhere on the internet

> Under $2,000 to chain together multiple Linux kernel vulnerabilities into a complete privilege escalation exploit

For context: these are the kinds of findings that previously required elite security researchers working for weeks.
Anthropic engineers with no formal security training asked Mythos to find exploits overnight. They woke up to working code the next morning.

The results were so impressive Anthropic assembled Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, NVIDIA, and seven other organizations into Project Glasswing:

A $100M defensive coalition. They're not releasing this model publicly. Instead, they're racing to patch the world's infrastructure before models like this proliferate.

Just use gpt 200 sub. And use Gemma from LM studio as fallback. You can have both openclaw and Hermes run with no issues on Mac 16gb. You’re welcome

If you used a Claude subscription with OpenClaw, read this:

Unfortunately all other AI models out there absolutely suck with OpenClaw compared to Opus

It's just a fact and anyone denying this is delusional

So here is my new recommended OpenClaw setup:

Pay for the Opus API and use it as your orchestrator

Then use other models as the execution layer

If you do this correctly, yes your costs will go up, but not by as much as you think

I use my ChatGPT subscription as the coding execution. GPT 5.4 is excellent at coding. When The Opus orchestrator gives a coding task to the ChatGPT subagent, it always performs really well

If you are on the Pro plan, you should have enough usage to have ChatGPT be the execution layer for every task. But if youre on the $20 a month plan, youre going to need other subscriptions to handle other tasks

GLM 5.1 and Qwen are excellent. I'd get a cheap sub through them and have them handle all other tasks given to them from the orchestrator

The best setup tho if you have the hardware is Opus API for orchestrator, ChatGPT for coding, then local Gemma 4 and local Qwen handling everything else.

Right now have Gemma running on my DGX Spark and Qwen 3.5 on my Mac Studio. They handle all other execution from my Opus API orchestrator

Unfortunately all options above will cost more than the $200 a month subscription. It just is what it is. But if you optimize correctly it wont cost much more, and you'll still get frontier performance.

OpenClaw is the most powerful piece of software ever released. $200 a month ($2,400 a year) was a steal for a digital employee. Honestly anything under $50,000 a year is a no brainer if you run a serious business.

The situation isn't great but you also need to face reality: Claude Opus 4.6 is the best model for OpenClaw. If you use any other model, your productivity will suffer

Business is a battlefield and I refuse to fall behind, so despite me not being happy with the Anthropic decision the setup above is what I'm going with

Virtue signaling might get me brownie points on the internet, but it won't increase my productivity

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

Starting tomorrow at 12pm PT, Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage on third-party tools like OpenClaw.

You can still use these tools with your Claude login via extra usage bundles (now available at a discount), or with a Claude API key.

@claudeai Finally!!!

I bought my last Apple Studio from a guy in an alley out of his car trunk.

[Alex Finn @AlexFinn]

>Apple no longer selling 512gb Mac Studios
> New York legislating what you can and can't talk to AI about
> Major AI companies banning you for plugging into OpenClaw
> Mac Minis sold out everywhere
>Next Xbox will be $1,200

Do you see what's happening?

As local intelligence becomes more unobtainable, AI companies are becoming more strict

They don't want you to own your own intelligence

The people who bought their own hardware for OpenClaw are just incredibly early to the major shift happening in this world

Prices are going to explode

By October the average person soon won't be able to afford computers. They will have to rent every piece of technology they use

Owning your own GPUs is freedom

Own. Your. Superintelligence.

Short insight: I almost have zero crypto posts on my feed, and all the VCs I know are pivoting to AI. Memes destroyed crypto in the short term.
