No way. No fscking way. That is…so unbelievably perfect.

My schaden is nicely freuded after seeing both this code dump and the fustercluck where people on Anthropic’s $100/$200 monthly plans are blowing through their 5-hour and weekly token allotments in no time flat.
Linked Reddit thread has numerous examples of pissed-off users, my favorite so far being the person who blew through the 5-hour quota trying to get Claude to realize that the 24th of March this year was not, in fact, a Monday. https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1s7fcjf/claude_usage_limits_discussion_megathread_ongoing/

My working assumption is that any device that has had #OpenClaw installed on it, even momentarily, anytime in the foreseeable future, is compromised.
Not *may become* compromised. *Is already* compromised.

@nprofile…48vs @nprofile…6r7l @nprofile…ahr2 @nprofile…ghzp You’ve both got the right basic idea (and both are very funny) but I think @nprofile…48vs is a bit closer. The first one was more like “I will fuck (specifically, anally): hey you, learn”. Second is more like “I fuck and I find out.” Probably best to make ‘em both imperative (the “hey you: do this” verb form) and just to be mildly obnoxious, try to get an equivalent of English “around” in the mix. So I propose “circumfutue et inveni.”

And almost as if on cue, the clouds rolled up at my place right before totality. Still a good show! #astronomy #TotalLunarEclipse
