alt Hacker NewsI’m out of the loop clearly on what clawdbot/moltbot offers (haven’t used it)- I’d love a first hand explanation from users for why you think it has 70k stars. I’ve never seen a repo explode that much.

Apparently it's like Claude Code but for everything.
One can imagine the prompt injection horrors possible with this.

Since there is a market for 5staring or 1staring reviews on review websites, there is probably a market to not-quite-human staring of github projects.

Tried it out last night. It combines dozens of tools together in a way that is likely to be a favourite platform for astroturfers/scammers.
The ease of use is a big step toward the Dead Internet.
That said, the software is truly impressive to this layperson.
It was a pain to set up, since I wanted it to use my oauth instead of api tokens. I think it is popular because many people don't know about claude code and it allows for integrations with telegram and whatsapp. Mac mini's let it run continuously -- although why not use a $5/m hetzner?
It wasn't really supported, but I finally got it to use gemini voice.
Internet is random sometimes.
