The current state of technology is AI - or large language models, to be precise. Everyone is excited about it. It will change our lives and disrupt entire markets. They say. Society is no longer driven by facts, but instead narratives that fits into whatever political agenda. That being to please shareholders, or fear of missing out on something. It is good to be excited about something, this all comes at a cost.
OpenClaw (previously called MoltBot, and ClawdBot) is the latest on the AI hype train. In short, it is an integration platform that connects whatever digital services that the bot owner has towards an LLM. This opens up for creating a digital assistant that gets access to email, calendar, and whatever services it is hooked up to. The LLM can be seen as the brain, while OpenClaw itself contains the state of the bot. OpenClaw quickly became the most starred repo on GitHub and is argued to be one of the reasons why self-hosted LLMs are ranking high on sites monitoring LLM traffic. Recently NVidia lauched NemoClaw which is a wrapper arround OpenClaw.
