I don't believe the activity on this repo is legitimate by any means.
- amelius 7mo agoThey probably used a claw to increase the ranking.
- jsheard 7mo agoThe whole repo must be absolutely swarming with agents, just look at the sheer rate of issues and pull requests. There was 6 new PRs in the last 10 minutes at the time of writing. It's not much of a stretch to assume the stars are also inorganic.

- petetnt 7mo agoEvery other minute some bots is creating an issue that a bot is trying to solve via a pull request which is reviewed by multiple bots. Future is now, good luck and have fun.
- jsheard 7mo agoIf you want a picture of the future, imagine a bot stamping LGTM! :sparkles: :rocket: on a pull request - forever.
- OpenWaygate 7mo agoThis repo is a big stitches
- ekianjo 7mo agoBy design, with llm agents and all, surely not
- hansonkd 7mo agoAgents will dominate the internet and open source code in a few years.
- lm28469 7mo agoI'm convinced more than 50% of "human" web traffic is already automated, blog posts, comments, social media, &c.
- mister_mort 7mo ago"Dead Internet Theory" is, even if it wasn't real 5 years ago, now hyperstitioned into truthfulness as the days go on.
- black_puppydog 7mo agoBonus for the use of the word "hyperstition". :)
- sigmoid10 7mo agoGeniune online user sentiment has died out a long time ago. If you're still basing any opinion or decision on what other "people" voted or commented online, you're easy prey for the algorithmic manipulation machine.
- foolfoolz 7mo agoin a way, the death of genuine reviews online may be a great way to bring it back to real life at a more realistic scale
- SV_BubbleTime 7mo agoThis is an along the same lines as the idea that every email should cost a penny. Like if every up vote or down vote cost a penny. I don’t think it would fix things, except raise the bar for what is shilled and what isn’t.
- sigmoid10 7mo agoI think that would only make it worse. Most genuine people won't care enough to spend money on this kind of service, while corpos would jump on it immediately and buy thousands of votes for a couple of dollars.
- dist-epoch 7mo agoMany other projects would have gamed the star-count if it was possible to do at scale without GitHub removing them for fraud as they often do.
- tigrezno 7mo agoIIRC openclaw will star the project automatically on setup
- orphea 7mo agoif this is true, it must be against GitHub's ToS, right?
- georgemcbay 7mo agoI'm sure it would be if it were explicitly instructed to leave a star. If not explicitly prompted by the install process then it becomes another case study in AI accountability washing.
- siva7 7mo agoI opened Openclaw on github and was shocked it was already starred. Somehow i did it and can't even remember why or when even though i have a very low opinion of this app.
- crucialfelix 7mo agoYeah, the Claws are starring the repo, obviously.
- skeledrew 7mo agoThat's a lot of Claws in any case.
