The guy already sold his previous company for a shitload of money. Got bored and did a side project that stirred the Internet on the past month. That is way more than most people here are going to accomplish in a lifetime. Yet, he has some deal with OpenAI to work on whatever he things exciting. I don't see why so much negative comments here other than jelously

True but between the lines I read some interesting points here. Great it get the gold nugget but I found it curious how he dunked on the JVM after all the clones emerges with much more perfs and much less code/energy consumpution.

For further context, he has like 60 projects for general use during this “got bored” phase

Its just happened that this one latched on a trend well and went viral, cease and desist from its name accelerated the virality

OpenAI execs are funneling funds directly to the Trump regime and partying with the far right: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46933071

Anyone working for OpenAI is complicit with these abuses. I hope that in due time having OpenAI on your resume will be a strong negative signal.

I just dislike Sam Altman, and I think he's just using this as a marketing ploy, which is more dishonesty from him. People keep saying OpenClaw is hype. I installed it, but I never tried to run it, and I don't know what the compelling reason is to. Supposedly you can talk to your agent from your iMessage? Who cares? Why not just talk to Claude Code?
