Software’s Next Era According to OpenClaw‘s Creator

Описание: Last Christmas at brunch, my friend Peter showed me the latest version of his little bot he built. A crazy side project. Just for fun.

This Monday he announced he's joining OpenAI. Sam Altman called him a genius.

In between? OpenClaw went from a hobby project to the most talked-about AI agent in the world. Three months. No team. No funding. Just one retired guy from Vienna who rediscovered the joy of building things. ❤️

Last week I flew down to Vienna to sit down with him right in the middle of this madness to talk about everything: how he thinks about agents, why he let OpenClaw write its own soul file, why your mom will understand AI agents before most engineers do, and why open source as we know it might be completely broken.

We are super proud of you, Peter. 🙌

We are still fighting to teach the youtube algorithm that conversations with Austrian geniuses are worth watching. Please like, share, subscribe, slaughter a goat if needed. ;)
Every bit of algo magic helps. 🙏🏻
