Seems like he's been pushed into using LLMs as a way to cope with the deluge of LLM-generated security reports.

I think it’s just more the act of discovering what we can do with AI. It’s like openclaw, that could’ve been around last year, it’s not like AI wasn’t capable enough at that point, it’s just that no-one thought of using it like that

What would you call developement/improvement if not exactly this? Some of histories biggest advancements are finding better ways to utilize things we already have

If you ask me personally, I don’t think that any of this has a benefit for anyone. I don’t think this is an advancement. It doesn’t make us work less, it just makes us achieve more in the same amount of time, or at least most people feel that way. It doesn’t make me more productive, it’s rather the opposite.

And what good is it to us if we achieve more? The only benefit it has is for those god damned capitalists. Great for them. The pay we get stays the same, and it probably even gets less.

OpenClaw? Why the fuck would I let an AI use my computer? I want to use my computer. I want to read my emails and I want to answer them. I want to research stuff and I want to learn. Why would I let an AI do all of those things? Hire a human because AI can’t touch grass? Seriously?

It‘s all just so gimmicky, and yes it’s interesting and amazing that those things are possible, but it’s like flying humans to mars, it is really cool? Yeah. Will it have any real benefit? No.

To me, this is all just fucking sad and will probably mark the advancement from late capitalism stage into hopefully complete economic chaos.

So yeah, when it comes to AI, I‘m probably not the best one to ask.
