alt Hacker News> OpenClaw is just like any other tool, you need to learn it before its power is available to you.
That's ridiculous. The utility of any tool is usually knowable before using it. That's how most tools work. I don't need to learn how to drive a car to know what I could use it for. I learn to drive it because I want to benefit from it, not the other way around.
It's the same with computers and any program. I use it to accomplish a specific task, not to discover the tasks it could be useful for.
OpenClaw is yet another tool in search of a problem, like most of the "AI" ecosystem. When the bubble bursts, nobody will remember these tools, and we'll be able to focus on technology that solves problems people actually have.
Such a wrong take.
The utility of a program like Excel, Obsidian, Notion, Unity, Jupyter, or Emacs far beyond the knowledge of knowing how to use the product.
All of these products are hammers with nails as far as your creativity will take you.
Its wild to have be on a website called Hacker News, talking about a product that can make a computer do seemingly anything, and insisting its a tool in search of a problem.
