I still think Anthropic should've bought Clawdbot/OpenClaw. Feels like a missed business opportunity to expand your market share by capitalizing on the hype.

Why should they pay money for such crappy software?

This whole thread is people repeating wrong facts that have been clarified 100x in the previous threads on the same issue.
I wonder why conversation can never progress. When a stake goes in the ground, it never ever comes out.
FWIW OpenAI didn't buy OpenClaw.

And Nvidia didn't buy Groq.

When Peter gets tired of having a boss again, OpenAI will have zero OpenClaw.

"now at OpenAI" were my original words - they did the equivalent of an acqui-hire and "protected" OpenClaw in a foundation.
In the context of the seemingly aggressive machinations of Anthropic your hair-splitting without clarifying beyond "OpenAI didn't buy OpenClaw" seems itself misleading and rather counter to helping conversations progress.

Does your employer use Salesforce? Crappy software is practically the only software that anybody really pays for.

OpenClaw is underwhelming, and its founder is basically a hype machine.
