One of the things that's most frustrating about the hype cycle around OpenClaw is that so much of what people are excited about is just... software? You can automate doing lots of cool stuff with your inbox with deterministic software that's been around for decades, and it won't delete your inbox!

There are a few folks at my company who are losing their minds over OpenClaw and Moltbook and it's like, yeah, train an LLM on Reddit and it's gonna spit out...Reddit. It's doing the thing it was told to do. Shocked Pikachu face. 10 PRINT "what's your name?" 20 INPUT "", a$ 30 PRINT "hello "; a$

The BASIC snippet at the end is chef's kiss. "Garbage in, garbage out" has been a known principle since the 1950s but somehow every hype cycle rediscovers it fresh.
