Ah yes. Ticks all the boxes - Becoming a Platform - AI - User-generated content [list continues] There is something comforting about seeing that the SV stopped having ideas and now just recycles and recombines the same tropes over and over

Cash in on the claw brand recognition by having "claw, but Nvidia". And, to be fair to them, it works. It sticks. It gets the desired reactions.

Well, at least we share the same world as these people, meaning that we too will experience the consequences of their actions. Isn't that a nice perspective

Knowing the HN crowd, they would probably run over some family barely being able to make rent, then whine on the internet for the next 7 years about how much that event affected _them_ and _their_ feelings.

Neither. I would like the bubble that is this website's "community" to pop, crash down back to earth and see them struggle living like normal people again.

That is a correct statement, but "whoopsie, dropped it, but no biggie, it's just $500" is not.

by hypfer 8mo ago
Uhm but you do realize that $500 is actually a lot of money for people that aren't living in SF and hop between startups every second tuesday, right? There is no "only". It's $500.

Yes but you see, maybe all of that was wrong in the first place? This is just a correction of something that managed to remain in an invalid state for an impressively long time.

I mean I would too be concerned if such a major event _wouldn't_ make people question their assumptions/beliefs/ideas/visions. If you have no reaction at all, you probably weren't paying attention. Eventually though

No, why? Why do you look at it that way? Why does anyone beside you have to care about what you do? Just build something for yourself. You will always have things you'd like to build for yourself. You will be in competition with yourse

This is not a new pathology but just an existing one that has been automated. Which might actually be great. Imagine a world where that hitpiece bullshit is so overdone, no one takes it seriously anymore. I like this. Please, HN, continue w

Exactly this. The whole wording also doesn't make sense. OpenClaw was released in November of 2025, yet the article sounds like NanoClaw _disrupts_ some old staple of the industry. You can't use that wording 4 months into the whol

This (I think) refers not to the people securing their devices against third parties but the vendors "securing" the devices against loss of profits. Essentially, the question referenced here is that of ownership. Is it your device

The linked site would benefit from using a font that - while possibly looking not as elegant - is actually readable without having to focus really hard. Modern browsers of course "solve" this with reader modes, but what good is a
