AI pollution is "clawing" into every corner of human life. Big guys boast it as catching up with the trend, but not really thinking about where this is all going.

I guess it's relieving to know that us developers will never get good at naming things!

Don't worry, Microsoft will eventually name theirs something worse, probably pre-prepended with 'Viva'

... actually, no - they'll just call it Copilot to cause maximum confusion with all the other things called Copilot

That’s one of the reasons we’re building grith.ai ~ these ‘claw’ tools are getting too easy for use (which is good)… but they need securing!

Little too lexically close to girth

Haha - maybe… naming projects is hard!

I'm not sure I like this trend of taking the first slightly hypey app in an existing space and then defining the nomenclature of the space relative to that app, in this case even suggesting it's another layer of the stack.

It implies an ubiquity that just isn't there (yet) so it feels unearned and premature in my mind. It seems better for social media narratives more than anything.

I'll admit I don't hate the term claws I just think it's early. Like Bandaid had much more perfusion and mindshare before it became a general term for anything as an example.

I also think this then has an unintended chilling effect in innovation because people get warned off if they think a space is closed to taking different shapes.

At the end of the day I don't think we've begun to see what shapes all of this stuff will take. I do kind of get a point of having a way to talk about it as it's shaping though. Idk things do be hard and rapidly changing.

This is all so unscientific and unmeasurable. Hopefully we can construct more order parameters on weights and start measuring those instead of "using claws to draw pelicans on bicycles"

I really don't understand what a claw is. Can someone ELI5?

It’s basically cron + LLMs + memory connected to their discord or WhatsApp to control remotely. A persistent personal agent that just does stuff for you. People have been running on their own machines letting the LLM access their shell, browser, whatever.

I too am interested in "Claws", but I want to figure out how to run it locally inside a capabilities based secure OS, so that it can be tightly constrained, yet remain useful.

i am thinking 2 steps (48 hours in ai land) ahead and conclude we need a linkedin and fiverr for these claws.

I am waiting for Mac mini with M5 processor since M5 MacBook - seems like I need to start saving more money each month for that goal because it is going to be a bloodbath at the moment they land.
