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.

We outnumber the pigs. By a lot.
They don't win by using force. They don't win by shooting us, or kidnapping us, or locking us up. If anything, that kind of thing backfires. They don't win by making us afraid or angry.
They win through propaganda, by making us turn on each other, by making us feel hopeless or that any of this is inevitable. They win by leading us to believe that any of their behavior is justified.
Take care of yourself and each other, and shut d…

In the meantime, please note carefully the rhetorical deception Republicans are playing in the Senate:
They are whining that Democrats are holding up funding for the whole DHS because “they’re angry about this incident” (meaning the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti) but “There are thousands of arrests that are happening every day that are happening by the book” (i.e. without a murder).
Deception: because the objection isn’t just the two murders; it’s the utterly reckless, unconstitutional, authoritarian behavior of ICE that Good and Pretti were protesting when ICE murdered them.

When a customer leaves, #Backblaze asks to hear from said customer in their goodbye-mail. If the customer takes the time to write a reason, they get a mail suggesting they sign up for their ticket system followed by an answer by an AI. Then, the former customer becomes angry.

it’s so easy to get wrapped up in the parties, money, and glamour at big events like this, but staying true to your roots and doing what you love is what’s important. my family taught me to stay grounded by spreading kindness. i love connecting with all of you and making you guys laugh :) so thankful for one of the most incredible weeks and NFL seasons. i wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you guys. love you all so much ♥️

While politicians often avoid answering questions,
Speaker Mike Johnson’s habit of doing so is particularly noteworthy
because of the prominent place the speaker occupies in government.
“Very few officers are mentioned specifically in the constitution;
the speakership is one of them,”
“I would say it’s absolutely the responsibility of the speaker to keep up with what the president is saying and doing.”
But there are at least 14 examples of Johnson saying he…

Part of the answer is that the district has given all students the option to stay home and do remote learning for the next month. Good. I mean, that really sucks for the families doing it, it sucks that any families are boxed into that corner — but good for the district coming up with that option.
That doesn’t mean that school is safe, however — not even for families who aren’t being targeted by ICE.
