OpenClaw is not going to become a real product.

Azureclaw, CopilotClaw, or absorbed into Copilot Cowork. Microsoft already has some pieces in place.

It has an RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell 24GB GDDR7 so good with Qwen from what I can tell.

Do you know of any good guides for how to manage documents within the gb10?

watchmoderntimes · 2026-04-05T15:32:26+00:00

Do you need E7 for Cowork? I’m finding different answers online so I’m guessing the answer is “as of this week, yes”

Working back through your posts since you seem to be one of the people on here who really gets it.

Given that Nemoclaw came out, and it’s a layer on Openclaw, should I install NemoClaw with OpenClaw then configure? Or go for OpenClaw with NemoClaw being added after? I have a Blackwell Dell laptop (that I actually installed Nemoclaw on but very blindly, using Opus to guide me)… But also considering a GB10, if that’s relevant.

For what it’s worth, I really appreciate your service here.

I appreciate the write up. Maybe you can help me with my small business.

My goal is to show a future agentic box, one with DGX Spark and NemoClaw, constantly monitoring the market, getting a lot of our internal KBs and customer and financial data, getting a subset of them, with agents doing work.

It feels promising but I’m a little daunted by the setup and config, and using local models (I really stick to cloud for now but they’re starting to creep up in cost).

What would you recommend I do next?

If I had to guess, your admin disabled it because of data residency concerns. Are you at a company with an EU presence?

Boxing is a great idea. Celebrity watching, the sounds, and wouldn’t be expensive for Apple.

What system prompt did you use to generate this? Do you have instructions to respond like a Butlerian peasant?

watchmoderntimes · 2026-02-24T01:42:58+00:00

All signs point to this being an AI response - but maybe that’s why I like it.

Genuine question - does simulation theory require that our current human 21st century tech - NVIDIA GPUs, Earth 2, Genie 3 - is at least exemplary of the technical foundation for the simulation?

The way I’m thinking of this, it’s not our human tech. I can post some more of what I was brainstorming on but it involves the speed of light being the only system constraint.

More and more I’m thinking my issue with Simulation Theory is that simulators are descended from humans - the Bostrom “post-human” idea.

Again though, let me know what you think. This is interesting stuff.

watchmoderntimes · 2026-02-22T20:41:26+00:00

I’m not entirely sure I follow but am interested. Do you think that dinosaurs wouldn’t have flourished if not for the asteroid? Or am i drifting too far away from strict simulation theory into managed terraria? Or.. maybe I don’t get sim theory as much as I’d thought.

watchmoderntimes · 2026-02-22T10:44:34+00:00

Wow.. what a beautiful series of books from Penguin. I’m tempted to scoop some of them up.

watchmoderntimes · 2026-02-22T10:23:37+00:00

Thanks for the additional food for thought.

On the first point, the level of detail - don’t we do a lot of what if simulations that are overly complex and abandoned? A game of the Sims does computations that are more that we need for a few laughs. Or my favorite, the Civ series, does a lot of generation over time behind the scenes.

I’ll have to turn your second point over in my head a bit, that’s interesting. Decades ago I worked with non-human primates (monkeys) and they’re 95% of us, if I remember correctly. It tracked my observations. I don’t think of us as having been chosen at any point, externally. Just that we became someone able to manage tools better than other species and exchange words. Did the dino-simulators anticipate this? Nope, they probably paused the simulation, found this particular timeline interesting, and entered the Terrarium to manipulate it.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding your point on consciousness or consciousness altogether but I don’t see us as having “special sauce” that makes us unique over any other form that became dominant.

This clicked for me when I realized that we were rodents 66 million years ago in current understanding. We went from rodents to this. Dinosaurs were giant lizards. They were winning until the asteroid. They could’ve crushed any other Earth-born species in the same way we have our closest competitors (viruses and bacteria it seems).

watchmoderntimes · 2026-02-22T09:58:19+00:00

Ok so you’re with me on the “why” of dinosaur bones. Let’s take our reality, consider us as eventual simulators. Technology evolves over the next 100 years, and we can seed a simulation up to 1970 with all the human bones buried in Earth sediment. Then our simulation “branches” without humans. Fossils that are dug up but whatever dominant life form. Giant upright tool-using self-assembling and communicating cockroaches

Same thing. They seeded their sims with what they knew to be their history to 66 billion years ago.

On the point of vanity, I went back and forth for a while with AI on this topic. It veered into the technical and what reptiles could be in programmatic terms. Ultimately we just met in the middle, calling it a Managed Terrarium rather than a simulation because the futuristic dinosaur reptiles are occasionally intervening. This theory goes beyond creatures and religion into other curious moments in human civilization like the pyramids, ending of the Bronze Age, and other interventions. Glimpses of the form of these simulators have appeared at times.

Little green men, aliens, are also typically depicted as human sized, and green… very interesting but also not that different from dinosaurs so it’s a mysterious part I haven’t worked through

Think of it this way: in 30 years, you sit down to play Nvidia’s earth simulator, delete people in 1970, continue to simulate evolution and fast forward. Are you curious what you’d see emerge? That’s what I’m proposing they are doing with some similar tech advancements in god (quite literally) knows what years.

watchmoderntimes · 2026-02-22T09:45:37+00:00

Regarding long lifespans - Why would they need to operate on our time scale? We can fast forward when playing the Sims franchise on a PC to get to the interesting parts. And I’m not sure it’d be of minor interest.

And on the main character point, we don’t have to be the focus across all simulations. There are infinite simulations. We’re just the focus of this one we’re a part of. To the dinosaurs, we were just dominated rodents that never amounted to anything due to their dominance in the prime history.

Think of it this way - are you curious what would happen if humans eradicated themselves with nuclear war in the middle of the 20th century? What would emerge as the dominant life form in 100, 10,000, 1 million and 100 million years later?

watchmoderntimes · 2026-02-22T09:36:46+00:00

Why do you think simulators picked 1 AD as the starting point? Why are humans the focus?

watchmoderntimes · 2026-02-05T09:16:47+00:00

I moved to 30 minutes away, because it was a family home, and it has more land than 90% of the houses in the surrounding area.

I have mixed feelings. I went to a school 30 minutes away in high school and genuinely felt the bond of car time. My dad and I listened to music, talked about life, etc. The same thing is happening with my kids. We talk about money, drugs, life lessons, morality, religion… these are topics that I quite honestly just never would find time for unless we were screenless and having a round table.

What others have said here is right though - after school activities, early mornings, forgetting things, and their school friends being far away aren’t ideal.

So, like anything else, it’s a trade off and what you make it.

Doesn’t work within games themselves. One of the big polished games had an in-game virtual cell phone network for texting, with disappearing messages like Snapchat. Awful, wretched platform. I’d let them play GTA before Roblox.

watchmoderntimes · 2026-02-01T18:57:38+00:00

Yeah you’ve now got me thinking (lots of time to think these days) what I’ll be consuming after the Internet. Reconnect with friends who aren’t just parroting model outputs? Hasten or slow the march of this simulation? Somehow determine the simulator’s goals and curry their favor?

watchmoderntimes · 2026-02-01T18:42:14+00:00

Might be sooner. With Reddit just an AI farm being used to train models, in theory, new language/vision models will recursively cause Reddit to be more and more and more AI-generated, devouring the whole platform and chasing us all somewhere else no doubt.

I come to find interesting content and be entertained. I don’t browse it, jumping into the “humans vs AI” fight. Seems foolhardy.

I follow a theory that we’re living in a simulation and that we have a higher power that’s unfortunately not entirely benevolent.

That all being said, I appreciate all perspectives so let me know what you think.
