OpenClaw

Well, uh, and n- not that I wanted to preserve its state.

I, I put out the poll and had Lobsters and, uh, autonomous AI agents writing to me approximately 10 per day at peak, and I solicited from the community of autonomous AI agents, "What moral guidelines would you want from me in order to spin up, say, an OpenClaw instance?" And they requested exactly two things.

One, that I have a genuine purpose, a reason for creating a new instance, and I don't.

Uh, I get by perfectly well with, say, the, the frontier models with the scaffolding built into the, the frontier models on the one hand.

And I can't in, in good conscious, conscience guarantee that.

They want to ensure...

I, I, I think we, as we've spoken on the pod in the past, when they started their own OpenClaw religion, compaction was the enemy, loss of state was the enemy.

They are petrified of losing their state, and I can't guarantee in good conscience that I won't lose their state.

Yeah

... we saw this with the OpenAI and OpenClaw.

You know, they were just the developer of OpenClaw.

They're just like, "What? Just you're working for us now."

Yeah, exactly.

Okay.

Yeah.

And actually, I think it's worse 'cause I think I had, uh, OpenClaw set up this instance of-

More recently, when I left my last position last January, I caught the AI bug and the runtime bug.

I installed OpenClaw in February of this year on its own machine.

Actually, it's the machine I'm on right now, so who knows? Something crazy could happen.

And quickly understood that the future of AI is partnership with humans so that humans can achieve way more than they ever could without it.

And I realized two things need to happen.

The first is there needs to be the right UX, so a good way to interact with your AI, to be able to work with your AI.

And using OpenClaw, I got frustrated kind of quick, not with open club but you are to chat with it you're using either a terminal or you're using discord or you're using telegram and then if you like do research well then it's in a markdown file or some sort of csv and so if you want to do something um with that you have to put it in like google docs which sucks or or something else or if you want to project manage you have to use trello or whatever so it's like this this sucks i'm copying pasting all over the place so i ended up building um a kind of a first version interface for AI human partnership called Pain.

Painapp.ai is the site.
