I think it's worth it to build your own miniaturized versions of OpenClaw/claw-like agents. It's easy enough to build and the confidence of it being in a language you're familiar with, small enough surface area to limit risk, etc. seems worth it imo
we will need some sort of payment-block checkmark for use of social media soon enough. This claw phenomenon is opening the floodgates of spam even more than before
Mm, not at all. The usual LLM doesn't have its own file system, browser, persistent memory of all actions, etc. The usual LLM experience is you open chatgpt.com and have a singular chat session.

This is not true. Kafka's latest `-native` images are very fast to start up (~100ms) and use relatively little memory.
I’d argue that many new AI startups are simply agents built on top of existing, established workflows. With today’s agent SDKs and AI coding tools, building them is incredibly easy.
But as people ship faster, often without understanding scalable system design, we’re heading toward an era of slow, fragile, and unscalable Saas. I believe that eventually products built on solid infra early will outlast the wave of slop--like how facebook outlived friendster. That's why I built Calfkit.
+1 from an European, it's beyond obvious and I don't understand why people are letting {politics, mainstream media painting of X} shape their belief on these extremely pressing and important issues.
Peter (the author) is a really, really cool guy. We recorded a 3hr 30m podcast[0] with him a month ago. For anyone interested in the Kafka space, performance optimization in Rust and the general "why yet another Kafka", I'd shamelessly recommend the video:
It's an accelerant, both good and bad. How that plays out in companies where the majority are below-average is a nuanced and concerning case
