If anyone is selling you the opportunity to make money, *you* are how *they* make money and the 'secret' they have is convincing people like you to pay them.

There will be a lot of smoke & mirrors to make it look like you have agency, but the product is your gullibility.

Is craftivism performative? Yes. That's the point. Resistance includes a public demonstration of opposition at accessible events with a low barrier to entry.

The red resistance hat pattern has raised $300k for the people of Minnesota. That's not effective?

AI doing the work for them is just someone else doing it for them. confuses "I know a guy who can draw" with "I can draw." they still can't unless it's done for them. teaching is often what we won't do for them (point isn't showing we can do it), discomfort they grow in. AI sells skipping discomfort

heres the thing... ... llms arent ai they're just extremely fancy classifiers whose classification looks a lot like communication but is just emmiting a classification of all the proceeding text thats a bunch of following text. they can classify a patient but they cant be a doctor.

Yeah if people just stuck to posting work related updates that would be great ๐Ÿคฃ but I think the temptation of a feed is just too great and it becomes weird fast.

I have wondered the same thing.

I also feel it doesn't need video shorts or even a post feed.

Twitter post from @BenjaminDEKR

โ€œOpenClaw is interesting, but will also drain your wallet if you aren't careful.
Last night around midnight I loaded my Anthropic
API account with $20, then went to bed.
When I woke up, my Anthropic balance was $O.
Opus was checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night."
Doing literally nothing, OpenClaw spent the entire balance. How?
The "Heartbeat" cron job, even though literally the only thing I had going was one silly reminder, ("remind me tomorrow to get milk")โ€

Continuation of twitter post

โ€œ1. Sent ~120,000 tokens of context to Opus 4.5
2. Opus read HEARTBEAT md, thought about reminders
3. Replied "HEARTBEAT_OK"
4. Cost: ~$0.75 per heartbeat (cache writes)
The damage:
- Overnight = ~25+ heartbeats
- 25 ร— $0.75 = ~$18.75 just from heartbeats alone
- Plus regular conversation = ~$20 total
The absurdity: Opus was essentially checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night."
The problem is:
1. Heartbeat uses Opus (most expensive model) for a trivial check
2. Sends the entire conversation context (~120k tokens) each time
3. Runs every 30 minutes regardless of whether anything needs checking
That's $750 a month if this runs, to occasionally remind me stuff? Yeah, no. Not great.โ€
