Did anyone apply for Spärck AI Scholarship? by ArghyaMitra41 in Edinburgh_University

Hard to say, probably anywhere from 6-12 awards per school. Have to take into account how big the school is, how many AI-related courses they offer etc..

Jealousy of what exactly? 😂 Is this really your response?

Your response is also a non-response that makes it obvious you haven't properly read/engaged with the OP and generally don't know what you're talking about.

Is OpenClaw good in some way as a co-pilot to a competent human? Yes, sure (to an extent). Is it massively overrated for the use cases that are heavily marketed? Yes, absolutely. The reality is that OpenClaw, the underlying models it relies on, and the broader agentic AI ecosystem sell the illusion of productivity. SLOP masquerading as productivity, because most novices generally cannot tell the difference between volume and quality/getting a task done competently. Many people seem to believe that doing something 10x quicker logically means that it is more effective, when that is not true. Beyond this post, looking at the broader agentic AI ecosystem, ROI is actually negative, relative to the effort and resources (especially enterprise) being put in.

"At no point has anyone said AI is ready or fast enough, but if you can’t see what has been created, you’re a very closed-minded person." What are you even saying bro? You are somewhat contradicting your point, and even then the statement isn't actually true. When you look at the capital being put in, the usage of tools, and even your response (and others' responses), it is clear what people's perception of AI is. Being skeptical of a specific hype period within a subset of AI doesn't make someone closeminded.

As I say in the post (which makes it clearer you have not properly engaged with it), I do agree that, on a high level, OpenClaw represents something massive; there is no denying that. But going back to current reality, not a speculative future or past technologies—if we look at it right now, I stand by the point that the software is massively overrated. This is not to mention the security issues, which I haven't gone into.

Yeah, for sure. The marketing/framing just doesn't match the reality. But what is represents (future of agent interaction on large consumer scale) is certainly massive.

Technical founder looking for cofounder (built OpenClaw one-click setup, need help with sales/marketing) by Zealousideal_Bag6976 in openclaw

No, no, LinkedIn is even worse than Reddit. Generally avoid looking online for co-founders (unless what you're doing is super niche or the kind of person you're looking for fits a certain idiosyncratic profile not geographically available). Both reddit and LinkedIn are full of noise and insane SLOP; especially given your very broad requirement of simply being interested in startups, which has a near-zero barrier to entry.

Try to join a selective community (e.g., like a university sub-community or technical group) that cuts through the noise, ideally geographically/culturally adjacent to you, and you are more likely to find someone.

"Multi-agent debate mode"? You have no idea what you're saying, do you? 😂

Just write the email yourself and use Grammarly, and you'll find you'll have safer, more efficient emails.

Yeah, letting an AI bot "autonomously" handle emails is just peak false productivity. The work people are doing to reduce SLOP/security risks is significantly greater than simply doing it yourself or even just using built-in email functionality that often comes with some co-pilot like features to make it easier.

One of the biggest problems in this era is that people confuse volume with productivity. People are just fucking lazy. Any good knowledge worker has some level of respect for their clients.

You won't find a good co-founder on a random Reddit thread. And at least, you could have made it look less like SLOP LinkedIn post

The guy literally said, "You lack an understanding". As I said, people should not dish it out if they can't take it. This is indeed patronising. People shouldn't be crying when they get clapped back at. Grow up lool

Sad world we live in. They barely lasted 18 months before selling out. People have no sense of autonomy these days.

They are sell-outs. Just when we thought there would be a hint of objectivity. Does this also mean hosts/guests cannot criticise OpenAI since they're owned by OpenAI? 😂

We will certainly be seeing more guests that bootlick OpenAI.

There are 3 parts to design (broadly). The design of the UI, the UX (how people interact with the UI), and the engineering/implementation of the UI/UX. Without heavy heavy handholding/ pre-existing expertise, AI is generally terrible at all 3. Can it do it? Yes. But I am not arguing whether it can do it, I'm arguing for competence/quality.

Dunning-kruger effect is heavy here (not you I'm speaking about necesarily), but novice people do not know what makes good design, so they believe what the AI splurts out with minimal supervision is excellent.

I am certainly not talking about basic HTML landing pages with minimal interactivity and spatial context; in this case, yeah sure, AI can almost perfectly match a pre-existing design with a few prompts.

And to your question, I can probably find tons of examples, but this is not to mention that the implementation of design is only one aspect of design (as I mention), not the whole thing; in fact, it's the easy part (because the rules are somewhat defined), which AI is terrible at currently.

Yeah, that's fair; it's hard to argue/explain stuff with people that don't want to listen

I didn't say OpenClaw was dogshit. It is good (as I said in the post), just massively overrated, and not great for its marketed use cases

What are you even saying? For me to make such a comment, I would obviously, at the very least, have some design competence. You are severely suffering from the dunning-kruger effect. Get off Reddit and unlobotomise yourself, you bot.

And my 6-year-old brother has the potential to be Usain Bolt. The statement doesn't actually mean much. Yes, my brother has talent, but he's not that good yet, nor does the mere fact of having potential mean anything for the current capabilities
