Co-founder of Reify, helping companies sell more software.

I'm a story-driven marketer, a technology-infused strategist, and an entrepreneurial executive.

Having built and sold things online since the mid-nineties, I've held leadership positions in both business and technical roles in the software, eCommerce, and financial services industries. I'm most happy when every day includes an equal dose of learning, shipping, and laughs.

Daemons are autonomous. From the site:

> Daemons are self-initiated — they observe the environment, detect drift, and act without a prompt.

This is the first live launch I've seen on TV (well, YouTube in this case) since the Challenger disaster. Was a nice relief to see this one go so smoothly.

Love this. This enables the split many of us have been aiming for - fully autonomous workflows for repeatable tasks that are reasonable to spec out and set-and-forget, and the more collaborative agentic-assisted workflows where more human intervention and guidance is required.

Being able to codify these important-but-often-forgotten workflows in such a way that you can set-it-and-forget-it and keep shipping at multi-agent speed is pretty dope.

The biggest value IMHO of OpenClaw is that it's in the Apple ecosystem, so it leverages Reminders, iCloud sync for Obsidian values, etc., so not having a Mac option is pretty limiting for anyone who's relying on those integrations currently.

The fact that this took SO LONG to come out after their PR crisis on this topic is more problematic than the claims themselves

This reminds me of the time that Ripple launched a marketing promotion, giving developers some amount of Ripple to encourage micropayments. They defined "developer" as "someone who has had a GitHub account for 1 year prior to this announcement" to stop folks from creating hundreds of new accounts to claim credits. This essentially created a bounty on existing GitHub accounts and led to thousands of account compromises due to poor password hygiene. GitHub account security is much better now than it was back then (Nov 2013), but this solution similarly puts a bounty on highly-vouched accounts.
