Simple takes are never correct. Just like the radiologists example has been proven wrong.

This place is the worst at this too. I get you guys are very involved in writing code that is central to the existence of a software product - but you are not a product designer nor manager. Meaning you dont get people and how they view their choice set and more importantly how they make decisions.

For if you did.. you'd all be shipping your own products and highly successful. But most of you are not shipping your own products with large success behind it. So quit the crap.

Im working on a project to change this.

Funny that you mention 'real people'. There are a number of components that sit at the core of what Im building - it should allow you to have the time and reach to vet more (100% verified) candidates than you ever could before. I also want to reduce the explicit costs of hiring so that firms can hire more people.

Because he wanted to say "Take that" To anthropic who forced Pete to change the name of the product.

Its always been like this but for awhile you had people like Steve Jobs to hold people like Bill Gates accountable. He long referred to MSFT as being mcdonalds in relation to the stuff they produced - very pedestrian.

The openclaw stuff for me is a prime signal we are now reaching the maximal size of the bubble before it pops - the leaders of the firms at the frontier are lost and have no vision - this a huge warning signal. E.g Steve Jobs was always ahead of the curve in the context of the personal computer revolution - there was no outside individual who had a better view of where things were heading.

There isnt gonna be a huge event in the public markets though, except for Nvidia, Oracle and maybe MSFT. Firms that are private will suffer enormously though.

Yeah personally not convinced by any of this. Im not a SWE so I dont care about what hes achieved here in relation to that. Im not seeing the value in the product rather what I see is the value to OAI in regards to the hype associated with this project.

Someone clearly hasnt watched the podcast. Do your research before posting.

Eerm because they are focused? Im still not getting the hype behind this project and Im more convinced its been manufactured.

If regulators force the capability of exporting to exist, what ya gonna do?

I continue to find it amusing that people really think corporates are really holding power. No - they are holding power granted to them by the government of the state.

Remind me why Zuck et al had to kiss the ring.

A list of results is not a killer UI.

The technology was the killer. Technology providing the right list of results and fast.

OH and believe it or not, this continues to be the core of Google today - they suck at product design and marketing.

"build a hugely popular tool"

Define hugely popular relative to the scale of users of OAI... personally this thread is the first time Ive heard of openclaw.

"Peter's move shows killer product UI/UX, ease of use and user growth trump everything. "

Erm, is this some groundbreaking revelation?

Its always been that way. Unless its in the context of superior technology with minimal UI a-la Google Search in its early years.

Re:I’m joining OpenAI on Sunday February 15, 2026 @08:54PM (#47030005)
Thats one aspect.

Another aspect is that we have much higher expectations of machines than humans in regards to fault-tolerance.

Re:I’m joining OpenAI on Sunday February 15, 2026 @08:38PM (#47029880)
Thats all it is really. It is to say "See! Look what a handful of people armed with our tools can do".

Whether the impact is large in magnitude or positive is irrelevant in a world where one can spin the truth and get away with it.

Yup, hes highly delusional if he actually thinks Sam cares about him and the project. Its all about optics.
