It would be nice if one could sync dot files in the vault. For example, the .claude or .pi folder containing skills and whatnot.

It's not a soluble problem, at least not completely. The big frontier models are better at resisting prompt injection, but any LLM is vulnerable to some degree. If you give it access to arbitrary inputs like the web and to your persona

Also more vulnerable to prompt injection than the frontier models, which are still vulnerable, but less so.

Many people use the Max subscription OAuth token in OpenClaw. The main chat, heartbeat, etc., functionality does not call the Claude Code CLI. It uses the API authenticated via subscription OAuth tokens, which is precisely what Anthropic ha

There's a lot of, to put it lightly, bullshit in this blog article, starting with when openclaw was released (late November 2025, not January 25, 2026). The first bit of config — "listen: "0.0.0.0:8080" — is not the defa

More that moltbot is ugly and was chosen in a bit of a panic after Anthropic complained. No one liked it, including the people who chose it.

They've recently added "lobster" which is an extension for deterministic workflows outside of the LLM, at least partially solving that problem. Also fixed a context caching bug that resulted in it using far more Anthropic tok

It's not. The guy behind Moltbot dislikes crypto bros as much as you seem to. He's repeatedly publicly refused to take fees for the coin some unconnected scumbags made to ride the hype wave, and now they're attacking him for

How do envision we might disarm an adversary with thousands of nuclear missiles, other than by preemptively nuking them and hoping they don't respond in time. Not really a plausible plan.

I just use commas or semi-colons where I would have previously used em dashes. It's annoying to have to adapt to avoid triggering people's faulty AI slop pattern matching, but the alternatives are perfectly fine.
