The amount of negative posts about this on twitter is crazy, I've not seen any positive posts. Jealousy or something else?

It's mostly congratulatory from what I'm seeing?

My negativity is for two reasons:

(1) A capable independent developer is joining a large powerful corporation. I like it better when there are many small players in the scene rather than large players consolidating power.

(2) This seems like the celebration of Generative AI technology, which is often irresponsible and threatens many trust based social systems.

Twitter is negative in general, but generally when a project like this gets bought it marks the end of the project. The acquirer always says something about how they don't plan to change anything, but it rarely works that way.

Why would that be crazy? AI is an extinction level threat that directly competes with humans.

Why would anybody pretend it's a good thing? Honestly you'd have to have something wrong with you.

Just my opinion, but I no longer trust sentiment on X now that Elon is in control.

Anyone who likes Openclaw will be upset that it’s getting acquired and inevitably destroyed. Anyone who dislikes it will be annoyed that the creator is getting so rewarded for building junk. The only people who would like this are OpenAI fans, if there even are any.

I think people are sad that OpenClaw is now part of Big Ai.
