    OpenClaw / Hermes / Muse / Agentic AI Chat Thread

    HOT! CHAT - AI - 
    You still have usage limits and pay for overage though, right? I initially used this setup but was warned that it was technically against the TOS and could catch a ban. For that reason, I switched to API and racked up $30/day. Early in 2026, Anthropic started automatically routing all agentic...

    OpenClaw / Hermes / Muse / Agentic AI Chat Thread

    HOT! CHAT - AI - 
    That’s why I don’t give it access to any of the consequential parts of my system. PocketOS is a good cautionary tale about separating out key files like backups. But if it’s used to beat down every attempt to employ agents, we will have learned the wrong lesson. An agent can’t delete what it...

    Using AI to Create and Maintain A Personal Knowledge System/Memory Palace

    - AI - 
    There's no reason why you couldn't use a tool like this to keep track of individuals' relationships, but there are probably better tools for that. There are CRMs (Contact Relationship Managers) out there that are AI-enabled. They are geared toward sales, so keeping information on, for example...

    OpenClaw / Hermes / Muse / Agentic AI Chat Thread

    HOT! CHAT - AI - 
    Speaking only for myself: I put it in a container (first Docker on my machine, and then a fully separate VPS)--if something goes wrong, the blast radius is somewhere else I don't give it direct access to my email accounts (I gave it its own account and I forward email from the accounts I want...

    Using AI to Create and Maintain A Personal Knowledge System/Memory Palace

    - AI - 
    I've collected ideas and thoughts for years (I won't show you the embarrassing pile of notebooks that I've kept since high school), and only occasionally connected the thoughts one to another. It's humbling an sometimes mortifying to read through old material and see connections that light up...

    How I Built an AI Employee by Accident (Antifragile's Agentic AI Experience)

    SCALING EXECUTION - AI - 
    First and foremost, this is an awesome roadmap. I wish I had had this back in Jan/Feb when I started off with OpenClaw. I also really like the framing: this is less about making the agent do stuff and more about enabling you to do more yourself by clearing the decks. I put OpenClaw on my...

    How are you all using Tailscale? I have it set up, but haven't put it to use and would love to stop lugging my laptop around.

    OpenClaw / Hermes / Muse / Agentic AI Chat Thread

    HOT! CHAT - AI - 
    I'm not far from this myself. Thanks to this thread, I was encouraged to try Hermes and am quite impressed. It feels a lot more capable and under control than the OpenClaw instances I've tried. I just sent Hermes off to fix the OpenClaw instance on the same VPS and it just went and did it...

    Sometimes you have to work pretty hard to make things Easy. Someone should write a book about that .... :rofl:

    HOT! CHAT - AI - 
    There will be more to come--if you build 3, you'll need more soon. And this also wouldn't reflect (1) OpenClaw hosted in different places, which will have different profiles (e.g., NVIDIA's NemoClaw, Kilo's KiloClaw, Pinata's blockchain OpenClaw agents, and so on), (2) actual agent- or...

    OpenClaw / Hermes / Muse / Agentic AI Chat Thread

    HOT! CHAT - AI - 
    Yes, 100%. One strategy for that: I created a Gmail for the agent (note, the human has to create this) and forwarded some of the accounts I wanted read to that email. I have never given it passwords or access directly to my accounts, but have only sent on the emails I want it to consider. (It...

    OpenClaw / Hermes / Muse / Agentic AI Chat Thread

    HOT! CHAT - AI - 
    A few (relatively disconnected) thoughts from someone who jumped on ClawdBot when it was ClawdBot, then MoltBot, then OpenClaw, and who manually removed the SOUL_EVIL.MD document. I'm not hugely technically inclined, but Claude (vanilla/Code/Cowork) has multiplied the amount of trouble I can...

    The Coming AI Job Apocalypse: Entrepreneurship is Your Answer.

    HOT! - AI - 
    Fair, but that sort of just rejects the premise of the conversation, which just makes for a short conversation. And for what it's worth, the point of the questions I suggested was effectively to end up in the same place: there is too much hype-shaped (doom vs. salvation) nonsense in the AI area...

    The Coming AI Job Apocalypse: Entrepreneurship is Your Answer.

    HOT! - AI - 
    True, but .... It's easier to see for an individual when making near-term cuts end up a long-term bad move ("Want to lose weight? Stop eating for a while!"). A lot of companies that have recently cut headcount (ostensibly because of AI, but for the moment let's set aside whether that's an...

    Picking up on an old thread ... I just upgraded my membership from Regular to Insider through Stripe, but it isn't appearing on my profile or settings here. Do I need to do something different?

    Demarco's 10/5/1 Exercise, is it still around? Loved that.

    QUESTION 
    Not having access to AI MJ, he surely wasn't talking to me. Yes, of course the framework is there in the books. The reason I ask for the PDF specifically is that I remember seeing it and liking the framing and the specific questions asked because it went beyond what was in the books.

    With the GoalSumo site now on placeholder, is there another source for the PDF by any chance?

    A New Path to the Fastlane - App Development

    EXECUTION 
    I can’t help with #1, but I have a couple of thoughts on #2 & #3. One thing you may consider in structuring the app is that I would bet most people are terrible at knowing when they are full, much less a fraction of full. Americans, at least usually eat quickly, which means by the time the...
