alt Hacker News> Andrej helping coin yet another new term, something he's very good at
Ignoring all the other stuff, isn't this just a phenomenon of Andrej being worshipped by the AI hype crowd? This entire space is becoming a deification spree, and AGI will be the final boss I guess.

Coining terms affects normies too, it hits all of our headlines and lexicons.

Language matters. If you have a term that's widely understood you can have much more productive conversations about that concept.
"Agent" is a bad term because it's so vaguely defined that you can have a conversation with someone about agents and later realize you were both talking about entirely different things.
I'm hoping "Claw" does better on that basis because it ties to a more firm existing example and it's also not something people can "guess" the meaning of.
