OpenClaw is run like the bleeding-edge project you’d expect it to be. An excerpt from of a longer post by Peter Steinberger on X:

Part of what excites me so much about working on OpenClaw is that I’m trying to answer the question:

How would we build software in the future if tokens don’t matter?

We constant run ~100 codex in the cloud, reviewing every PR, every issue. If a fix on main lands, clawsweeper will eventually find that 6 month old issue and close it with an exact reference.

Spurs vs. Timberwolves game 6 tonight is going to be big. Nice article at ESPN on the organization’s culture and longevity:

On any given day at the facility, a current Spur can walk into a room filled with championship players from the past. It’s not uncommon to go to lunch and find Ginobili dining with three-time champion Bruce Bowen, whose No. 12 jersey is retired in San Antonio. Duncan, who once had a space in the coaches’ locker room at the old facility, is a fixture at the new spot, too, along with two-time champ and 10-time All-Star David Robinson and Sean Elliott…

I remain skeptical of Tesla robotaxis and this report doesn’t make me feel better:

Tesla Robotaxis have crashed at least twice since July 2025 while a teleoperator was remotely driving the vehicles…

Waymo has the right approach. When stuck, cars can be given hints on what to do by remote staff, but the cars still drive based on their training, they can’t be controlled like a video game.

Andrew Sharp has one of the best blog posts I’ve read recently about not just the OpenAI trial, but stepping back to see the big picture of OpenAI’s founding and where things are now. On the evidence:

Musk is wrong here and he should lose. […] Across a two-week trial where Musk and his lawyers have worked every single day to put Altman’s dishonesty at the forefront of the jury’s mind, Elon is the most dishonest character in that courtroom, at least with respect to the facts at hand.

It’s a medium-long post and goes through the text messages and other surrounding details.

I work every day on a lot of different things. This requires being able to flow between projects without hitting walls. App review is a wall. It’s a momentum killer. It’s like wading through mud when you want to run.

ChatGPT personal finance is going to be popular, eventually, but initially I expect people to be cautious about giving AI access to their bank accounts. It’s read-only, which I assume is enforced by Plaid:

When you connect your accounts, ChatGPT can access your balances, transactions, investments, and liabilities to help visualize your finances or answer your questions. It cannot see full account numbers or make any changes to your accounts.

This year I had planned to download all my bank statements and feed them to Codex to help organize things for taxes. Feels more transparent that way.

Now four days since I appealed the Inkwell rejection. I’ve drafted a full blog post explaining all the problems I’ve run into with app review. Going to hold the post until Monday, just to give Apple a little more time.

Codex has had a section in the ChatGPT mobile app for a while, but only for the cloud version. The update this week is a rewrite (apparently in SwiftUI) and can connect to a Mac running Codex. Seems good. If you have a desktop Mac somewhere, the lines are starting to blur between Codex and OpenClaw.

Still kind of unbelievable that The Late Show only has one week left. When the cancellation was announced, the end date seemed far away, and I thought maybe they’d change their mind anyway.
