In truly one of the worst use cases I could imagine for this tech, behold, DenchClaw, an OpenClaw based CRM https://github.com/DenchHQ/DenchClaw

@dvshkn @cwebber Its definitely more "real" than crypto, but I'd argue much less "real" than cloud computing.

Everyone always knew cloud infrastructure was worth something, it was the future of colocation and leasing servers. What no one was sure of was the adoption rate, or how much would be kept on-prem for various reasons.

AI is... well, it does SOMETHING, but what is it worth? When will it get good at what? For how many things is the answer "never?"

[cwebber@social.coop]

@vv Yeah that's true. The unfortunate thing is the "blast radius" of powerful using these tools. And with war, unfortunately, that can be quite literal

[dvshkn@social.treehouse.systems]

@unlofl @cwebber Not to get too into it, but there was a lot of promising that the cloud would automatically scale any application (lol). I found that pretty similar to the AI hype of all jobs are going away.

But this new wave of hype (and the spam, ugh) is very crypto-like, I'll admit.

[unlofl@mstdn.social]

@dvshkn @cwebber oh dang, missed that hype. I currently work balls-deep in piles of containers, but there is definitely no way in hell random existing applications were going to scale like that stateless stuff.

@cwebber what in the precious ever loving fuck make it stop

Look the "you don't need privacy if you've got nothing to hide" guy shows up https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47313376

Also hi even if that were somehow true (it isn't) do you know anything about credentials

[vlkr@social.tchncs.de]

@cwebber I think it's naive to even start with the assumption that there is an actor with good intentions behind this.

[eons@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@cwebber if you aren't doing anything bad, then you don't need to steal credentials (?

[unlofl@mstdn.social]

@cwebber
"information wants to be free!"
*chasing after my SSN and bank account numbers*
"get back here you cheeky little fuckers!"

Christ I never thought I'd say this but I wish the NFT craze was still going right now. Absolutely all these people would find a whole new way for all their apes to be gone

[ladytel@masto.hackers.town]

@cwebber I never understand that like I hope they keep their bank info private.... Unless they want to give me money that's cool

[silvermoon82@wandering.shop]

@cwebber
All my apes, all openclawed.

[brennen@federation.p1k3.com]

@cwebber "everybody has something to hide, like for example the credentials for taking money out of their bank account" is a weirdly hard thing to put across sometimes

[cwebber@social.coop]

@silvermoon82 openclawed right from my hands

[silvermoon82@wandering.shop]

@cwebber
My agents knew me as this ape!

@cwebber “great question! I know it might seem shocking to you that I have spent all of your savings on a jpeg of the worst picrew you’ve ever seen. Here is why it’s a genius investment: Not only is the token not fungible,

[wordshaper@weatherishappening.network]

@cwebber Read that comment and... wtaf? 'I feel like the average person is going to be like "oh no it'd be terrible if everyone found out I really like the 'big boobs' category on pornhub"' um, yes idiot dude on the internet, this does legit freak people out? Which they're allowed to do?

I know these people have a hard time with the idea "I am not the center of the universe" and therefore potential social consequences, but still. Really?

People really don't give HN the shit it deserves.

[geist@eldritch.cafe]

@cwebber I guess all it would take for the nft to take off again would be an inordinate amount of « autonomous agents » trading metaverse nft on the blockchain in one huge apocalyptic convergence

[madengineering@mastodon.cloud]

@cwebber oh intern on acid, could you please send out the marketing email list?

...

You included.a bit of your philosophy work?

oh no

Wait, are you suggesting the remote worker Henry Ford my AI agent found, recruited, negotiated with and finally hired to be the company innovator, might not be real?

But he had such a great resume. Did you know he invented the production line?

My AI agent handled all his onboarding and payroll, since we fired Betty.

He must be real, we have been paying him well and were awaiting his presentation of the opportunites for the company in Fordlândia.
