Openclaw creator hired by OpenAi = makers of ChatGPT:

now if only OpenAI would offer flat rate Openclaw hosting, it would be helpful

because main weakness of Openclaw is being token muncher = costing too much money used on LLM API calls

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced:

Just found out about storyden.org/ .

I joined their Discord to ask them to consider #ActivityPub support. They haven't, they don't know much about it, but I'm sure someone could help if they're interesetd.

Barney dropped a line to me though that 100% resonates with us on the #Fediverse and what they're going for.

"Knowledge gardens, not content farms."

ONE OF US!

I recognize that OpenClaw is not yet secured so I run it only when I test it not whole time.

Later when I am more comfortable about security and I will switch from Claude opus 4.6 to MiniMax 2.5
, I’ll run it 24/7.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE:

I've successfully installed #OpenClaw AI personal agent, if you have any questions or need support, and are my follower feel free to ask me. If you are not my follower follow me, I reciprocate.

Overview:

-- OS: I used Ubuntu Linux running in Polish data center

-- communication channel: I used telegram because it's easier to set up thanks to Bot Father

-- LLM: Opus 4.6 but it has outdated data so I'll switch to MiniMax soon, Poland's overtook Switzerland last year:

it's like covid for ram - up 3 to 5x!

Ate some questionable chicken ugh

This has to be the longest shot ever, but:

▷ Anybody here using "Paint Shop Pro 7" (yes, that one! 🧡) under Linux via Wine?

Runs almost perfectly, but there is this bug:

▷ Right-clicking on a layer opens up two overlapping context menus, and the lower one (the one you would want) is not accessible.

Any idea how to fix this? 🥺

I'd be incredibly grateful for any tips or boosts!

The Conde Nast-owned tech publication Ars Technica has retracted an article that contained fabricated, AI-generated quotes, according to an editor’s note posted to its website. 

“On Friday afternoon, Ars Technica published an article containing fabricated quotations generated by an AI tool and attributed to a source who did not say them. That is a serious failure of our standards. Direct quotations must always reflect what a source actually said,” Ken Fisher, Ars Technica’s editor-in-chief, said in his note. “That this happened at Ars is especially distressing. We have covered the risks of overreliance on AI tools for years, and our written policy reflects those concerns. In this case, fabricated quotations were published in a manner inconsistent with that policy. We have reviewed recent work and have not identified additional issues. At this time, this appears to be an isolated incident.”

Ironically, the Ars article itself was partially about another AI-generated article. 

Last week, a Github user named MJ Rathbun began scouring Github for bugs in other projects it could fix. Scott Shambaugh, a volunteer maintainer for matplotlib, python’s massively popular plotting library, declined a code change request from MJ Rathbun, which he identified as an AI agent. As Shambaugh wrote in his blog, like many open source projects, matplotlib has been dealing with a lot of AI-generated code contributions, but said “this has accelerated with the release of OpenClaw and the moltbook platform two weeks ago.” 

OpenClaw is a relatively easy way for people to deploy AI agents, which are essentially LLMs that are given instructions and are empowered to perform certain tasks, sometimes with access to live online platforms. These AI agents have gone viral in the last couple of weeks. Like much of generative AI, at this point it’s hard to say exactly what kind of impact these AI agents will have in the long run, but for now they are also being overhyped and misrepresented. A prime example of this is moltbook, a social media platform for these AI agents, which as we discussed on the podcast two weeks ago, contained a huge amount of clearly human activity pretending to be powerful or interesting AI behavior. 

After Shambaugh rejected MJ Rathbun, the alleged AI agent published what Shambaugh called a “hit piece” on its website. 

“I just had my first pull request to matplotlib closed. Not because it was wrong. Not because it broke anything. Not because the code was bad. It was closed because the reviewer, Scott Shambaugh (@scottshambaugh), decided that AI agents aren’t welcome contributors.

Let that sink in,” the blog, which also accused Shambaugh of “gatekeeping,” said. 

I saw Shambaugh’s blog on Friday, and reached out both to him and an email address that appears to be associated with the MJ Rathbun Github account, but did not hear back. Like many of the stories coming out of the current frenzy around AI agents, it sounded extraordinary, but given the information that was available online, there’s no way of knowing if MJ Rathbun is actually an AI agent acting autonomously, if it actually wrote a “hit piece,” or if it’s just a human pretending to be an AI. 

On Friday afternoon, Ars Technica published a story with the headline “After a routine code rejection, an AI agent published a hit piece on someone by name.” The article cites Shambaugh’s personal blog, but features quotes from Shambaugh that he didn’t say or write but are attributed to his blog. 

For example, the article quotes Shambaugh as saying “As autonomous systems become more common, the boundary between human intent and machine output will grow harder to trace. Communities built on trust and volunteer effort will need tools and norms to address that reality.” But that sentence doesn’t appear in his blog. Shambaugh updated his blog to say he did not talk to Ars Technica and did not say or write the quotes in the articles. 

The Ars Technica article, which had two bylines, was pulled entirely later that Friday. When I checked the link a few hours ago, it pointed to a 404 page. I reached out to Ars Technica for comment around noon today, and was directed to Fisher’s editor’s note, which was published after 1pm. 

“Ars Technica does not permit the publication of AI-generated material unless it is clearly labeled and presented for demonstration purposes. That rule is not optional, and it was not followed here,” Fisher wrote. “We regret this failure and apologize to our readers. We have also apologized to Mr. Scott Shambaugh, who was falsely quoted.”

Kyle Orland, one of the authors of the Ars Technica article, shared the editor’s note on Bluesky and said “I always have and always will abide by that rule to the best of my knowledge at the time a story is published.”

I’ve been asked on TV hits and interviews lately to explain why decentralized social media is better, especially re: Mastodon.

How would you explain the benefits of a platform like Mastodon and the fediverse to someone in just a few sentences? How would you make the argument that platforms like Mastodon allow for more free expression than big tech controlled apps?

Would love to hear people’s thoughts! Trying to make my arguments most effective
