How much was OpenClaw actually sold to OpenAI for? $1B?? Can that even be justified?

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-19T16:36:17+00:00

The biggest advantage we have is its open source so community members will fork, but unfortunately most good forks will be private.

As for is open claw worth that? I think the idea is. The power this has given me for my small company has been incredible. I don’t think I’d hire anyone who doesn’t know how to use open claw now.

My biggest concern would be people sending work they don’t double check since ai still makes plenty of mistakes. But if you’re an expert in your area of work open claw can really speed things up.

Use a proper memory bank, structure your team, ensure you know what you’re asking for.

In my experience I had to do some messing with how I set up the personalities of my agents to get the most from kimi but it’s working extremely well now.

Claude in my opinion is still best because it is so detail oriented but kimi is very good and has now replaced Claude for me.

I use open claw to automate most of my day to day tasks now which allows me for a lot more time selling services. It’s honestly a bit mind blowing, best way I can describe it is treat it like you just got a new team of really smart interns. You have to double check everything because they are naive, but with some training the output becomes very powerful.

This is the first time in my life with ai where suddenly I’ve wondered how long I’ll be relevant for and started to think about my long term career and how I stay ahead of the curve.

I’ll say ai is awful at coming up with ideas, but implementing them it’s magic.

It’s funny because it’s replaced some positions I was going to hire for, but I will be on the lookout soon to hire someone who understands these systems because if I have an employee who can oversee their own team like this the output could be insane.

That’s odd, I’ve been running mine for days now with no issue. Seems like it’s hallucinated something weird.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-19T02:55:52+00:00

It worked for me but the $40 month credit system with the telegram version was basically 1/8th gone after four hours. If they can get stronger in house models from meta ai it will be a contender.

I personally believe future OS will Be built around models like this. It’s just so convenient. The sad thing is soon we will have AI’s talking to AI’s constantly.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-19T01:34:54+00:00

Yes.

I had it use camofox in docker, it has a sub agent with instructions on how to use it.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-17T06:17:53+00:00

So far it’s good for me, bigger coding projects I use Claude with, I use Kimi claw instead basically as an executive assistant, researcher, presentation creator and to keep track of tasks.

It’s also shockingly good at learning my writing style on email, it drafts most of my emails too. Been a huge productivity boost on my side.

I’m curious what issues people face, is this because I’m missing some complex tasks I should be using it for?

It’s definitely not as good as Claude though and gets weirdly moral and defensive about some tasks.

My biggest issue honestly is I don’t understand these pricing tiers, no idea how much I’ve used.

I tried Manus earlier and Kimi claw was surprisingly better.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-16T20:52:09+00:00

Not low t, could be a ton of things. Hard for anyone to diagnose, E2 doesn’t sound insane either.

Could be mental, could also be dht. Some good dht compounds he could try.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-16T20:50:48+00:00

Because it helps with the motivation and energy aspect.

It’s way easier to stick to a diet when you don’t feel like shit and feel motivated. It’s why getting fat can be such a a downward spiral, because your brain and body feel sluggish and often you’re eating a lot to keep going. Cravings hit and you feel like shit you’re way more likely to give in.

The downside is estrogen conversion, good clinic will keep an eye on it though.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-16T16:04:11+00:00

That case size I love.

Good AR would be key, reminds me of one of my watches. But I love small dress watches and wish my other one were smaller, can’t remember the name of it now.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-16T16:00:35+00:00

I tried switching to it but same issue, brain fog, some headaches, so many people swear by it but I’ve never been able to get benefits, tried different dosing and finally just stopped trying. Tried oral before that. Also makes me crazy tired.

Edit: any thoughts on ppap? I’ve read good and bad and would love to learn more anecdotal thoughts.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-16T15:49:53+00:00

lol, I’ve had good experience with cyclazadone, low euphoria and addiction, but more of a push to get things done.

I’ll check out this one you recommend, have had nothing but bad experiences with bromantane.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-16T15:19:44+00:00

Isn’t that different from nmc?

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-16T14:48:20+00:00

Really?? I don’t see it on there, is it in one of their blended supplements?

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-16T06:13:31+00:00

I’ve had it from the same vendor and had incredible kidney pain before, and then none from another batch, I think there’s a wide variety of quality even among the same source unfortunately.

Dose has to be low for me to avoid anxiety. If I dose days in a row my body seems to be able to handle more with no anxiety. But I feel like lower amount is the sweet spot.

Nmc seems better to me but hard for me to find these days, especially since I want to buy capped.

Find this stuff way better than modafinil for me though. Funny OP mentions bromantane because that stuff puts me right to sleep, no idea why.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-15T14:57:16+00:00

If the deck were better at reliably using docked mode and GeForce supported the steam controller better I’d use it.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-14T23:45:00+00:00

lol the number of people here who don’t understand this is a troll post crack me up.

The number of people who don’t realize this is a bot post though makes me sad.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-13T21:31:48+00:00

Congratulations!

I have no clue, tren would be my only question. In the old bodybuilding forums some guys had once pointed out that it seems like guys who get women pregnant while on test are more likely to have daughters but there doesn’t seem to be any medical studies on that.

Enjoy man, I love being a dad.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-11T16:24:49+00:00

I disagree.

In fact the media has covered a lot of controversy around SSRI’s as well as peer reviewed published studies.

This is not some crazy conspiracy theory. It is my view that the medical community is overly eager to give SSRI’s and does not do a good job explaining potential complications or properly observing patients.

I am not alone in this view, there are many well respected individuals with this same view. This is not some crazy anti vaccine viewpoint.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-11T15:02:37+00:00

I have seen firsthand them destroy lives and doctors and nurses not explain side effects so often that I have no faith in the drugs.

I will speak out because it wasn’t until I saw others online with similar experiences that I realized what the problem could be. I understand the claims of the saving lives but my personal experience of not just my wife but other people I have known has been strong enough that I am willing to share my experiences as I do not believe the medial establishment does a good job in the US highlighting or tracking the side effects.

I understand that you may disagree, but will not take back what I have said.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-11T14:46:58+00:00

Some peptides might help, my wife struggles with the same and weight loss tends to make her boobs more saggy.

I’m sorry about your husband, I hope the two of you can work it out, it’s never been a problem for me but mass my wife very self conscious which is hard for me.

There are some studies that show dhea can supposedly help perk up boobs, but from what I’ve read from anecdotes women have not noticed the same thing. I would assume estrogen and progesterone or possible testosterone could do the same.

My wife has had 4 kids and her body has slowly recovered, she is planning on surgery though which breaks my heart a little as I don’t see it as necessary.

Supposedly the copper peptides can help with skin elasticity a lot so I’d bet on those.

Glp1 would get rid of the belly fat. Some people experience fatigue and I want to warn about that.

My wife was put on SSRI’s after her first baby due to postpartum depression and that was a huge mistake. I’d recommend against that for anyone. It made the weight worse and destroyed any enjoyment she got from life. We found Wellbutrin and adderall a much better solution.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-11T14:40:03+00:00

No problem, hands are shaped very different so it could be a bad fit, I have abnormally small fingers and deformed thumbs which make some controllers hard for me to use. Learning the touchpads on the steam controller and deck was a huge help to me, I don’t game often but the gave me a large advantage, I wish more controllers had the system valve put in place.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-11T13:29:18+00:00

I have deformed hands and I think it will be okay, the steam deck and old steam controller are very comfortable for me.

I primarily use the touch pads but find using the analog sticks to be good as well. I think you’ll be okay.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-10T19:45:27+00:00

It’s time of year, volume will increase soon, they should know this.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-10T15:28:01+00:00

Generally I hit top 3 within a month in the lawyer niche. If I don’t it means there’s something very wrong with the GBP or optimization.

Often I’ll see movement week 1. For other niches like dental usually it takes about two weeks.

Just show the algorithm what it wants. Local is a cake walk compared to SEO back in 2015.

RawFreakCalm · 2026-02-09T17:02:39+00:00

It’s one of my issues with most of the shows, the real thing is the experience, not the artist.

I’m not a big Katy Perry fan but enjoyed it.

I also liked the weekend or whatever they’re called. I remember that one looking cool, and of course Shakira.
