> We're working hard to harden the codebase with folks from Nvidia, ByteDance, Tencent and OpenAI.

What exactly does this mean? You have contracts with these companies? People who work for them contributed sometimes in the past to openclaw repository?


If I am not mistaken steipete works for OpenAI now as part of OpenClaw being acquired by them back in February.

NVIDIA is contributing to the security of OpenClaw via NemoClaw.[0]

Not sure about ByteDance and Tencent.

0. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/ai/nemoclaw/


ByteDance and Tencent are planting Chinese malware in.

Can you point to any reputable reports or specific commits that suggest that these companies are trying to plant malware in OpenClaw?

Or did you just see "China" and decide it must be malicous?

(This is a rhetorical question, I already know it's the latter)


Jensen mentioned on a podcast (sorry I don’t have a link on me, it was either the all in podcast or Lex Friedman) that they are helping support and harden on the security side, and that he considers it like the “iPhone moment”

Most of these larger players are interested in supporting anything that helps grow the ecosystem so broadly.


Nvidia is willing to do anything to keep the hype going - there's a desperation to find a 'killer app'.

It’s very unfortunate what direction Zed has taken. It was very fast and nice editor, that’s now infected with those “AI” features.

It's still a very nice and fast editor, and you can just switch off those AI features. They're still releasing features and fixes for the non-AI parts.

Then code.

That number is just recovered dead bodies. There are people in the rubbles, still, there are people who died or will die from accompanying factors - such as mass evacuation, living for years in a horrible camp, hunger, diseases, destruction of hospitals and infrastructure that otherwise would kept those people alive.

And Israel definitely conducts very questionable actions, similar to genocide, such as withholding any humanitarian aid for months, and them distributing it only through one controlled organisation, that distributed it in just a few spots, with machine guns pointed at people. Thats one of the main reasons Netanyahu is wanted by ICC.

This is all not mentioning actions in the West Bank, where settlers with army support drive people away from their homes, destroy and take over the land. This is not what a “civilised” nation does.


> That number is just recovered dead bodies.

Well, it's certainly not limited to bodies that were confirmed by officials in a hospital or morgue. A lot of the casualty reports were from a Google form, or later, a self-hosted form (https://sehatty.ps/moh-registration/public/add-order).


> Well, it's certainly not limited to bodies that were confirmed by officials in a hospital or morgue. A lot of the casualty reports were from a Google form, or later, a self-hosted form

Yes it is. Literally on that form "Not registered with the Palestinian Ministry of Health". This is a form to report missing people, the number of the dead are people identified by a doctor.

Though that number has stagnated because all the hospitals have been destroyed by Israel.


No, that's just saying that the form is for reporting casualties that are not already registered with the MoH.

Hamas' casualty numbers came from hospitals and morgues only in the first few months of war; that hasn't been the case for a long time. This isn't controversial - Hamas has been fairly open about incorporating "reliable media sources".

I think only Hamas knows the breakdown for their latest numbers, but earlier they used to acknowledge how many casualty reports were based on online form submissions. For example you can see some old data in Figure 11b here: https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/sites/default/files/pdf/...


Sorry, I'm not going to take seriously a report by an AIPAC funded institution from a guy who's basically spent all of Israel's genocide talking about how fake the Hamas numbers are.

Basically all his reports have one narrative "It's not that bad, and actually it is all terrorists that Israel has killed".

NGOs that have managed to get aid workers and doctors in (which, btw, are often killed by Israel) all say that the death toll is a massive undercount. [1]

There, of course, is a solution here. It's for Israel to let in aid works and stop killing them [2]

Again this isn't controversial; you're denying something that Hamas themselves acknowledge.

Sky News: "A total of 6,187 deaths had been confirmed via the online form as of 6 August." https://news.sky.com/story/gaza-conflict-thousands-remain-un...

AP: "As Gaza’s hospital system collapsed in December and January, the ministry began relying on hard-to-verify “media reports” to register new deaths. Its March report included 531 individuals who were counted twice, and many deaths were self-reported by families, instead of health officials." https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-cas...

Hamas themselves: https://t.me/s/MOHMediaGaza?before=6390


All military criminals love this excuse. Russia says this all the time, together with “it was self-inflicted”.

iPhones usually live pretty long life.

What’s the another way?

You could just re-use the studio where they faked the Apollo 11 landing except it was in 7 WTC which was destroyed in a controlled demolition to hide the evidence.


Because they actually want it to work 100% of the time and cost nothing.

Maybe hard to believe but not everyone is speaking English to Claude

Then they made it wrong. For example, "What the actual fuck?" is not getting flagged, neither is "What the *fuck*".

It is exceedingly obvious that the goal here is to catch at least 75-80% of negative sentiment and not to be exhaustive and pedantic and think of every possible way someone could express themselves.

Classic over-engineering. Their approach is just fine 90% of the time for the use case it’s intended for.

75-80% [1], 90%, 99% [2]. In other words, no one has any idea.

I doubt it's anywhere that high because even if you don't write anything fancy and simply capitalize the first word like you'd normally do at the beginning of a sentence, the regex won't flag it.

Anyway, I don't really care, might just as well be 99.99%. This is not a hill I'm going to die on :P

It compares to lowercase input, so doesn't matter. The rest is still valid

Except that it's a list of English keywords. Swearing at the computer is the one thing I'll hear devs switch back to their native language for constantly

They evidently ran a statistical analysis and determined that virtually no one uses those phrases as a quick retort to a model's unsatisfying answer... so they don't need to optimize for them.

Do you live in EU? Do you pay yourself a salary from your Estonian company, and is that your main source of income?

No, I live in Mexico. I do pay myself a salary and some months that is my main source of income.

That what companies do in a free market. They all try to become a monopoly.

You cannot call it a free market if government lobbying exists and is the primary tool for establishing monopolies.

Nor you cannot call it a free market if the government is allowed to favour or penalise one entity or one sector over the other.

I know words don't mean anything these days, but there is no angle in which you can call modern economy a free one.


“a real free market economy just hasn’t been tried” where have I heard that before?

As soon as we admit that humans are easily corrupted, the sooner we can stop finger pointing and start developing systems to mitigate the natural tendency toward corruption.

Isn’t that free market capitalism? We assume everyone will act in their own best interest and that this results in the most efficient allocation of resources.

That’s just one way of becoming a monopoly.

Is it a free market if there’s antimonopoly agency?


Government lobbying is just one way to put a hand on the scale of the market. Legislation, incentives favouring unprofitable endeavours, etc.
