Are these things actually useful or do we have an epidemic of loneliness and a deep need for vanity AI happening?

I say this because I can’t bring myself to finding a use case for it other than a toy that gets boring fast.

One example in some repos around scheduling capabilities mentions “open these things and summarize them for me” this feels like spam and noise not value.

A while back we had a trending tweet about wanting AI to do your dishes for you and not replace creativity, I guess this feels like an attempt to go there but to me it’s the wrong implementation.

I don't have a Claw running right now and I wish I did. I want to start archiving the livestream from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfGL7A2YgUY - YouTube only provide access to the last 12 hours. If I had a Claw on a 24/7 machine somewhere I could message it and say "permanent archive this stream" and it would figure it out and do it.
