This whole "OpenClaw" thing has made me very angry and I wrote a bit about the why. It's not that "it's AI": It is the way that kind of project invalidates decades of work and care in free software. "AI" software isn't just careless, it is actively rejecting responsibility and care.

@tante Thank you. Open Source is indeed nowhere near enough. It has long been weaponised as a foundational building block for automated systems of extraction and abuse.

(When 4 people directly send you a link to a job, you probably should send in a CV, right?)

Been looking at portfolios and CVs and Websites for people who applied for a "Creative Technologist" position.

And it's kinda disheartening to see that almost all pages and projects look very much the same.

The way that "we just focus on one dominant technology/narrative and visual language" limits people's development and horizon is depressing.

I wonder if the guy who coined the term "One Hit Wonder" came up with any other phrases.
