Podcast appearances and mentions of peter steinberger

Hey folks, Alex here, and welcome to a BIG MODEL week! We finally got Mythos (well almost)! Let me catch you up! This week started with WWDC26 from Apple, and Max Weinbach, who was in the room at Apple Park and actually has access to some of the new features including an all new SIRI AI, joined us to break down what could be the most used AI in the world very soon. At first I was skeptical, but he convinced me that the new Siri is actually good! Then, we saw the ultimate model drop: Anthropic finally shipped Mythos (X, my system card thread, benchmarks). Same weights, two names: Mythos 5 is the unrestricted version that only Project Glasswing partners get, Fable 5 is what the rest of us get, wrapped in the heaviest guardrails I've ever seen ship on a frontier model. It's state of the art on nearly every benchmarkThe model that was “too dangerous to release” is now... well, released, but with the heaviest guardrails we've seen. More on this later. Peter Gostev from Arena.ai joined us to break down the new model. Last but definitely not least, Google released a real-time translation model, that our friend Thor Schaeff from DeepMind demoed live, while we all spoke in different languages and it translated us in REAL TIME. It was really cool, definitely check that out. There's quite a few more things, like Loop Engineering Alpha, Swyx came by to talk about FrontierCode, OpenAI confirmed our suspicions that the anti-datacenter social media posts could be a concerted effort by groupds links to the Chinese government and much more. Let's dive in! ThursdAI - Let me catch you up, every week!

Es muss schon viel passieren, damit sich Meta-Chef Mark Zuckerberg persönlich einschaltet in die Talent-Akquise: Peter Steinberger war so ein Fall. Mit seinem KI-Agenten-Projekt Openclaw hat er in kürzester Zeit einen regelrechten Hype ausgelöst – und das Interesse der großen Tech-Riesen geweckt. Am Ende entschied sich Peter Steinberger für den Wechsel zu OpenAI. Aber warum eigentlich? Darum geht es in dieser Folge, in der der Österreicher außerdem verrät, welche Aufgaben Openclaw für ihn inzwischen übernimmt. Im OMR Podcast hört ihr dieses Mal eine Folge des "OMR Silicon Valley Updates" von unserem Kollegen Christian Byza, der Peter Steinberger relativ spontan per Videocall interviewen konnte – worunter leider die Tonqualität gelitten hat. Wir fanden das Thema aber so relevant, dass wir uns entschieden haben, das Gespräch trotzdem zu bringen. Wir hoffen, dass ihr Spaß an der Folge habt!

Here's the real state of OpenClaw right now. OpenClaw became a critical part of how our team operates, but over the last couple months the reliability has noticeably dropped. Messages fail, automations break, gateways hang, and teams start losing trust in the system when it stops responding consistently. In this video I walk through Peter Steinberger's public apology, the exact issues we're seeing inside Slack and Telegram, why reliability matters more than features, and how we're thinking about Hermes vs OpenClaw moving forward. I also break down the “brain vs execution” model, why competition between the two is actually healthy, and why I still believe autonomous agents are the future despite the current issues. Chapters (00:00) Is it over for OpenClaw? (00:46) The reliability problems we're seeing (02:08) Peter Steinberger's apology (04:20) Why SSR matters (secure, stable, reliable) (05:05) The single brain + agent fleet setup (06:34) Real Slack failures inside our team (08:05) Telegram failures and broken responses (09:09) Hermes as the alternative (10:41) Brain vs execution model (12:03) Why OpenClaw still matters (13:34) Website deployed using OpenClaw (14:52) Final thoughts on the future of agents

OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger takes us back to the transformative moment he let his AI agent loose on the internet, igniting one of the world's fastest-growing open-source projects. He makes a fascinating (and slightly unnerving) case that agents are a real shift, not just better versions of chatbots, and explores how they might reshape your ability to work, create and build. "The lobster is loose, and it's not going back into the tank," he says.

Einen Tag lang haben KI- und Finanzszene gerätselt, wer dem New Yorker Bullen einen Hummer gegenüber gestellt hat. Dann kam raus: Es war ein deutscher Gründer – mit einer Warnung. 

von Anna Wallner. Ein Bier aus der Mikrobrauerei seines Vaters in der Schweiz, das KI-System OpenClaw und die größte KI-Bühne der Welt. Hier erzählt der Salzburger Stefan Erschwendner, wie aus einem schrägen Experiment mit Brautank, Webcam und Agentenlogik ein KI-Case wurde, auf den dank Peter Steinberger sogar das Silicon Valley aufmerksam wurde.

BIO: David Siegel is a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who has founded more than a dozen companies. He has written five books on technology and business, was once a candidate for the dean of Stanford Business School, and is now an AI thought leader leading an AI startup he hopes will pave the way for the agentic economy.STORY: Nine months after David's last appearance on the podcast, the conversation has shifted from "what are LLMs?" to agents that act. 60-65% of NYSE trades are already fully machine-to-machine—a preview of where all commerce is headed.LEARNING: You don't need to know exactly how AI works, but you need to get in the game. "The biggest investment mistake everyone is making right now is not appreciating the exponential nature of what we're in and what is coming. The next 12 months will be nothing like any 12 months that have ever happened in human history."David Siegel David Siegel is a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who has founded more than a dozen companies. He has written five books on technology and business, was once a candidate for the dean of Stanford Business School, and is now an AI thought leader leading an AI startup he hopes will pave the way for the agentic economy.David joins the podcast for the fourth time and discusses his latest progress in AI with Andrew.The health reset before we beginBefore diving into AI, David opened with an invitation that even Andrew found surprising: a free online water-fasting event starting on April 20, 2026, with a preliminary strategy session on April 12.What is a water fast? David explains that it's not a diet or a weight-loss tool; it's a physiological reset. For three to six days, your body enters ketosis and "cleans house," activating suppressed systems and energizing you. David does this three to four times per year, emphasizing it's not a monthly practice but a strategic reset aligned with your health journey.The coaching program makes fasting easier and more fun through group accountability, with no obligation, just information to help anyone at any point in their health journey. Learn about fasting, or just join a group of people doing the same thing at the same time. It's designed for people from the West Coast to Europe. Please register for the event and feel free to invite anyone: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/Tk-zp9ZERomWb0643Sypmw.The agentic economy: what's coming in 20 yearsDavid's core message centers on a profound shift: we're entering the agentic economy, where machine-to-machine communication replaces human-to-website interaction. He notes that in 20 years, you won't shop on Amazon. There won't be advertising or marketing for humans. All those "Cialdini mind tricks" of urgency, storytelling, and Russell Brunson funnels will vanish. Everything will be machine-to-machine, just like the stock market today, where 65% of NYSE trades open and close in less than one second.Even driving will be prohibited because human reaction times cannot match the frequency of machine communication. We're in an awkward transitional period where humans and machines must coexist. Nobody likes it, but it's taking us toward a future where drudge work is automated.What is an AI agent?David clarified a critical distinction that many miss: LLMs (Large Language Models) talk back, type responses, and generate images and videos—but don't do anything outside your interaction.AI Agent, on the other hand, is an LLM connected to APIs that can actually take action: send emails, order meals, book travel, make purchases, and run ads. Think of it as a virtual remote assistant working 24/7 while you sleep.OpenClaw: The framework powering the revolutionOpenClaw (CLAW = agents, inspired by lobsters from a forward-thinking fiction book) is an open-source framework created by Peter Steinberger on GitHub. It connects LLMs (the thinking entities) to APIs (the conduits for doing).This is revolutionary because it allows AI to take real-world actions. Previously, AI was confined to conversation. It can now execute tasks across systems. David strongly warns that OpenClaw is highly technical and requires API configuration. It's not designed for humans to use directly. It's for engineers building agent infrastructure.The security risks nobody is talking aboutDavid explains that agents introduce entirely new cybersecurity vulnerabilities that differ from traditional threats, such as social-engineering attacks against agents. For instance, impersonation via spoofed emails: "David wants a trip to Phoenix, book a flight," or multi-day, persistent attacks in which bots repeatedly try to extract secrets.David's approach with Claw Studio is to use APIs rather than scraping. Wherever possible, he attaches LLMs to official APIs with guardrails. This is safer and more sustainable than screen scraping, which violates Terms of Service and risks a shutdown.How to get started (without blowing yourself up)David's advice is clear: Don't do it yourself. That's suicide. With great power comes great responsibility. An agent can do almost anything, including deleting its own installation, wiping your disk clean, or draining your bank account. You want it to do almost nothing initially, then gradually widen the guardrails.The Redshift Labs/Claw Studio approach:Done-for-you setup like Red Hat for LinuxDedicated Chief of Staff agent with its own phone numberOnboarding period of 1-2 weeks, where you download your life into the agent:Birthday, family members' emails, and daily routinesIt can research you online to build context.Separate setups for personal and businessForever memory, unlike standard LLM context windows that forget:Every Zoom call transcript gets piped in word-for-word.Searchable memory: "Who was I talking to about Tahoe skiing in November?"Agent retrieves exact conversations and can follow up.Reverse prompting—the paradigm shift:Instead of you telling the agent what to do, it tells you.Morning briefing: what happened overnight, what's coming up, what's changedManages your calendar, project management, and prioritiesBreaks long-term goals into daily deliverablesYou're no longer the to-do list keeper.Security architecture:Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting, not local machinesTwo-account system: one for operations, one for immutable backupsAll logs are piped to a one-way backup account."Go back six hours" restore button, in case things go wrong.Humans in the loop for critical actions (e.g., agent queues payments, human approves)The biggest investment mistake everyone is makingTo conclude, David talked about the biggest investment mistake everyone is making right now: not appreciating the exponential nature of what we're in and what is coming. He noted that the next 12 months will be unlike any 12 months in business history. He stated that we're entering a recursive self-improvement phase, in which software will write the next generation of itself. The singularity isn't theoretical; it's happening now.David's advice is to stop thinking six months ahead. The pace is too fast. Instead:Take baby steps to position yourself.Prepare to accelerate like never beforeInvest in agent infrastructure now, while it "doesn't suck too bad", it will...

OpenAI débauche l'inventeur d'OpenClaw. Meta rachète le réseaux d'agents Moltbook. Perplexity lance Personal Computer. Bref, c'est la folie autour de l'IA agentique, qui peut exécuter des tâches complètes à notre place. Un nouveau monde et aussi de nouveaux risques en matière de cybersécurité.Les agents IA, nouvelle frontière de l'automatisationLa frénésie autour des agents IA s'accélère. Le phénomène s'est cristallisé autour d'OpenClaw, un projet open source imaginé par Peter Steinberger, qui permet de faire tourner sur sa propre machine des agents capables d'agir sur des applications, des fichiers ou des services. Le sujet a déjà été exploré par Monde Numérique, qui y voyait une étape clé dans l'émergence de l'IA agentique.Autour de cette dynamique, les grands acteurs multiplient les annonces. OpenAI a recruté Peter Steinberger, Meta a mis la main sur Moltbook, ce réseau social peuplé d'agents IA, et Microsoft pousse Copilot vers des usages plus autonomes grâce à une collaboration étroite avec Anthropic. De son côté, Perplexity a dévoilé Personal Computer, un système conçu pour transformer un Mac dédié, notamment un Mac mini, en environnement permanent pour agents IA.Des assistants qui ne répondent plus seulement, mais agissentLa différence avec un chatbot classique est nette. Là où un outil comme ChatGPT ou Claude attend une consigne puis génère une réponse, un agent IA peut enchaîner des actions, utiliser des outils, interagir avec des logiciels et accomplir des tâches de manière semi-autonome ou autonome. C'est cette bascule, du dialogue vers l'exécution, qui alimente aujourd'hui les espoirs de gains de productivité dans les entreprises.Cette promesse est séduisante : traitement d'emails, prospection, nettoyage de bases de données, assistance au codage, préparation de documents ou coordination de workflows. En filigrane, se dessine l'idée d'un futur collègue logiciel, capable non seulement d'agir, mais aussi de s'inscrire dans les méthodes et les règles d'une organisation.Le revers de la médaille : sécurité, dérives et perte de contrôleMais cette montée en puissance s'accompagne d'un risque croissant. En accédant aux fichiers, aux sessions utilisateur, aux applications et parfois aux systèmes internes, les agents deviennent aussi de nouvelles surfaces d'attaque. Microsoft alerte d'ailleurs sur l'usage opérationnel de l'IA par des acteurs malveillants tout au long de la chaîne d'attaque.Les premiers incidents rappellent que le danger est déjà concret. Amazon a reconnu en interne qu'un incident du 2 mars 2026, lié en partie à son assistant de codage Q, avait contribué à une vague d'erreurs sur les délais de livraison, avec des effets directs sur les commandes. Autre exemple marquant : chez McKinsey, un agent autonome a pu exploiter une faille après avoir consulté une documentation technique accessible en ligne, illustrant la capacité de ces systèmes à reproduire des comportements proches de ceux d'un pirate humain.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

A discussion of privacy, ethics, and technology was prompted after reports that Google recovered Nest camera footage believed to be deleted. Chuck Joiner, Marty Jencius, Jim Rea, Eric Bolden, Jeff Gamet, and Web Bixby review how cloud data is actually erased, the role of backups and mirrored servers, and the difficult balance between privacy promises and aiding law enforcement. The conversation expands into broader concerns about surveillance technology, online data permanence, and how companies should handle sensitive information in critical situations.  This edition of MacVoices is sponsored by Squarespace.

A discussion of privacy, ethics, and technology was prompted after reports that Google recovered Nest camera footage believed to be deleted. Chuck Joiner, Marty Jencius, Jim Rea, Eric Bolden, Jeff Gamet, and Web Bixby review how cloud data is actually erased, the role of backups and mirrored servers, and the difficult balance between privacy promises and aiding law enforcement. The conversation expands into broader concerns about surveillance technology, online data permanence, and how companies should handle sensitive information in critical situations.  This edition of MacVoices is sponsored by Squarespace.

This Week In Startups is made possible by:Circle — http://circle.so/twistHubspot Creators — http://clickhubspot.com/twist2Uber AI Solutions — http://uber.com/ai-solutionsToday's show: *Dave Morin joined the show today to explain how the OpenClaw Foundation came into existence, and what its goals are. Fear not, Peter Steinberger retains directional control of the project. But if you want to sustain an open-source project over time, you need a corporate entity, well-heeled sponsors, maintainers and more. Morin is helping make sure that OpenClaw can stay true to itself well into the future.TWIST also put the day's most critical AI stories to Morin for his insight: What's his take on the Anthropic-DoW fracas? Does Morin think that OpenAI and Anthropic are catching up to OpenClaw in agentic terms? And will OpenAI cede the consumer crown to Anthropic? Next came two amazing demos: Runtools' CTO Greg Kara showed off a 3D interface for OpenClaw that his team built, allowing ‘Claw users to watch their agents work in real time, and even read over their shoulder. Then PickelWatch founder George Yameen showed off an agnetic workflow using OpenClaw and Claude's Chrome plugin side-by-side. The gist? Make sure that the agentic service you select is cost-effective. **GUESTS:**Dave Morin: https://x.com/davemorin?lang=enGreg Kara: https://x.com/GregKara6George Yameen: https://x.com/GeorgeYameen**Timestamps:** 00:00 Dave Morin Joins the Show02:31 How Dave Morin got Claw-Pilled05:01 Jason's critical OpenClaw moments08:38 How Dave showcases his OpenClaw skills10:47 Uber AI Solutions - Your trusted partner to get AI to work in the real world.

The PodRocket panel is back for their February roundup! Paige, Paul, Jack and Noel dig into the biggest stories reshaping the web development landscape right now. The panel kicks off with a deep dive into OpenClaw, it's transition to a foundation, and Peter Steinberger joining OpenAI. Is a foundation the right long-term home for fast-moving AI projects? And what does the continuing flow of talent into big AI labs mean for the open source ecosystem? From there, the conversation shifts to the browser's changing role in the web, how the lines between native and web experiences continue to blur, and what that means for developers building for the future. The panel also tackles growing pressures on open source sustainability and the widening gap between developers who are deeply integrating AI agents into their workflows and everyone else who hasn't even heard of these tools yet.

Welcome to episode 344 of The Cloud Pod, where the forecast is always cloudy! Justin is out of the office at a World of Warcraft Tournament (not really), and Ryan is pursuing his lifelong dream of becoming a roadie for The Eagles (maybe?), so it's Jonathan and Matt holding down the fort this week, and they've got a ton of cloud news for you! From security to AI assistants, we've got all the news you need. Let's get started!  Titles we almost went with this week Zero Bus, All Gas, No Kafka Brakes AI Coding Bot Bites the Hand That Runs It When Your Robot Developer Goes Rogue on AWS Kubernetes VPA Finally Stops Evicting Your Database Pods Google Trains 100 Million People, Still No One Reads the Docs  MCP Walks Into a Bar Not Enterprise Ready Yet No More Pod Evictions Kubernetes 1.35 Scales In Place No Keys No Drama Just IAM and Cloud SQL One Agent to Rule Them All in Kubernetes IAM Tired of Writing Policies Manually When Your AI Coding Tool Has Delete Permissions One Dashboard to Rule All Your GPU Clusters Serverless Reservations Prove Nothing Is Truly Free Range Kiro Takes the Wheel on AWS IAM Policies Stop Blaming Backups for Your Bad Architecture AI Agent Goes Rogue, Takes AWS Down With It Everything is Bigger in Texas Except the Water Usage OpenAI launches the college basketball of Inference. Pro service – low cost General News  1:05 Code Mode: give agents an entire API in 1,000 tokens Cloudflare‘s Code Mode MCP server reduces token consumption by 99.9% compared to a traditional MCP implementation, exposing the entire Cloudflare API (over 2,500 endpoints) through just two tools, search() and execute(), using roughly 1,000 tokens versus 1.17 million for a conventional approach. The architecture works by having the AI agent write JavaScript code against a typed OpenAPI spec representation, rather than loading tool definitions into context, with code executing inside a sandboxed V8 isolate (Dynamic Worker) that restricts file system access, environment variables, and external fetches by default. This approach addresses a fundamental constraint in agentic AI systems: adding more tools to give agents broader capabilities directly competes with the available context space for the task at hand. 01:41 Jonathan- “It's good. I'm not sure I could imagine 2 ½ thousand MCP tool definitions in a context window and still actually use it for anything.”    AI Is Going Great – Or How ML Makes Money  03:58 OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger joins OpenAI Peter Steinberger, creator of viral AI assistant OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot/Moltbot), has joined

Welcome back to another episode of Upside where Dan Bowyer and Mads Jensen of SuperSeed go behind the headlines shaping European tech, capital, and power.This week we're joined by Eyal Malinger, co-founder of Resurge Growth Partners, to unpack a genuinely strange week in global tech.China unveils humanoid robots that look disturbingly battlefield-ready. Anthropic tries to draw moral lines in defence AI. Peter Steinberger leaves Europe almost as fast as he went viral. Munich becomes less “security conference” and more “Europe, wake up.” And in the background, billion-dollar AI seed rounds and quantum mega-funds quietly signal that the frontier is accelerating again.This isn't just a tech cycle.It feels like a systems cycle.This is Upside, where optimism is earned, not assumed.What's covered:02:10 China's humanoid robot moment: hardware dominance meets AI brains06:20 Battlefield AI and the ethics problem Anthropic can't avoid14:00 Raspberry Pi, edge AI, and Europe's accidental meme stock20:30 Anthropic vs Palantir: moral lines vs deterrence logic25:10 Peter Steinberger leaves Europe — ecosystem gravity in action31:00 AI inside venture: workflow automation vs real alpha43:00 Munich Security Conference: defence budgets, sovereignty, and Stark vs Thiel52:10 Psychedelics and glucose monitors: Europe's quiet biotech strength55:30 Quantum funds and Europe's billion-dollar AI seed round

Jaeden & Jamie discuss the acquisition of the AI agent Open Claw, created by Peter Steinberger, by OpenAI for a near billion-dollar valuation. They examine the unique aspects of Open Claw that led to its success and eventual acquisition, and explore the concept of "vibe coding" as a powerful tool for developing new applications and automating tasks, even for non-developers, highlighting both its potential and security trade-offs.

OpenClaw is a self-hosted AI agent daemon that executes autonomous tasks through messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram using persistent memory. It integrates with Claude Code to enable software development and administrative automation directly from mobile devices. Links Notes and resources at ocdevel.com/mlg/mla-29 Try a walking desk - stay healthy & sharp while you learn & code Generate a podcast - use my voice to listen to any AI generated content you want OpenClaw is a self-hosted AI agent daemon (Node.js, port 18789) that executes autonomous tasks via messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram. Developed by Peter Steinberger in November 2025, the project reached 196,000 GitHub stars in three months. Architecture and Persistent Memory Operational Loop: Gateway receives message, loads SOUL.md (personality), USER.md (user context), and MEMORY.md (persistent history), calls LLM for tool execution, streams response, and logs data. Memory System: Compounds context over months. Users should prompt the agent to remember specific preferences to update MEMORY.md. Heartbeats: Proactive cron-style triggers for automated actions, such as 6:30 AM briefings or inbox triage. Skills: 5,705+ community plugins via ClawHub. The agent can author its own skills by reading API documentation and writing TypeScript scripts. Claude Code Integration Mobile to Deploy Workflow: The claude-code-skill bridge provides OpenClaw access to Bash, Read, Edit, and Git tools via Telegram. Agent Teams: claude-team manages multiple workers in isolated git worktrees to perform parallel refactors or issue resolution. Interoperability: Use mcporter to share MCP servers between Claude Code and OpenClaw. Industry Comparisons vs n8n: Use n8n for deterministic, zero-variance pipelines. Use OpenClaw for reasoning and ambiguous natural language tasks. vs Claude Cowork: Cowork is a sandboxed, desktop-only proprietary app. OpenClaw is an open-source, mobile-first, 24/7 daemon with full system access. Professional Applications Therapy: Voice to SOAP note transcription. PHI requires local Ollama models due to a lack of encryption at rest in OpenClaw. Marketing: claw-ads for multi-platform ad management, Mixpost for scheduling, and SearXNG for search. Finance: Receipt OCR and Google Drive filing. Requires human review to mitigate non-deterministic LLM errors. Real Estate: Proactive transaction deadline monitoring and memory-driven buyer matching. Security and Operations Hardening: Bind to localhost, set auth tokens, and use Tailscale for remote access. Default settings are unsafe, exposing over 135,000 instances.

Bienvenidos a FailAgain, una newsletter / podcast sobre crear contenido y estrategia.Hay una herramienta que lleva semanas rompiendo internet. Y la mayoría de creadores todavía no saben qué hacer con ella.OpenClawA finales de enero, un proyecto open-source llamado OpenClaw (antes Clawdbot) se convirtió en el repositorio de GitHub que más rápido ha crecido en la historia. 209.000 estrellas en semanas. Cobertura en TechCrunch. Un episodio con Lex Fridman. Y al creador, Peter Steinberger, fichado por OpenAI.¿Qué es?Un agente de IA que vive en tu ordenador, se conecta a tus aplicaciones y ejecuta tareas. Solo. Sin que se lo pidas cada vez.La diferencia clave con ChatGPT: ChatGPT te responde. OpenClaw actúa.Le dices qué quieres que haga, cuándo, y con qué herramientas. Y lo hace. Mientras tú estás haciendo otra cosa. O durmiendo.Llevo semanas mirando qué están haciendo los creadores que se han lanzado antes. Me he recorrido Twitter, Reddit, GitHub, y los vídeos de Matthew Berman, que tiene uno de los canales más detallados sobre el tema en inglés. Y he filtrado los que tienen sentido real para alguien que está construyendo su canal y su newsletter, no para un ingeniero con ocho monitores.Aquí van.0. El punto de partida: tu asistente por TelegramAntes de los casos avanzados, hay uno básico que casi todo el mundo monta primero y que ya justifica por sí solo el setup.Conectas OpenClaw a Telegram. A partir de ahí tienes un asistente al que puedes escribirle como si fuera un compañero: “redáctame una estructura de post sobre…”, “busca información sobre ese creador”, “resúmeme este artículo”. Él responde, ejecuta, y te lo manda de vuelta.La diferencia con usar ChatGPT o Claude es que este te conoce muy bien. Sabe en qué trabajas, cuál es tu audiencia, cómo escribes. No hay que explicarle el contexto cada vez. Y si le dices que recuerde algo, lo tiene en cuenta de cara al futuro.Es el punto de entrada. Una vez lo tienes, lo demás es tirar del hilo.1. El investigador de ideas Imagina que ves un artículo interesante. Lo mandas por Telegram con un simple “idea de vídeo”. En los siguientes minutos, OpenClaw hará lo siguiente:* Busca qué está diciendo la gente en Twitter sobre ese tema* Comprueba si ya lo has tratado antes * Te devuelve un briefing completo: título sugerido, concepto de thumbnail, los primeros 30 segundos del vídeo y una estructura por bloques.Lo que antes llevaba una hora de búsquedas y notas, ahora llega en minutos.Para un creador que trabaja solo, esto es brutal. ¿Cuántas veces has visto algo y has pensado “esto podría ser un contenido” pero no te has lanzado a desarrollarlo? 2. El espía semanalCada semana analiza los canales de tu nicho: qué publicaron, qué les funcionó, qué vídeos están despuntando, qué patrones de título están repitiendo.El valor no es solo saber qué hace la competencia. Es hacerlo de forma sistemática, sin que te cueste tiempo. La mayoría de creadores lo hacemos a mano de vez en cuando, que es lo mismo que no hacerlo. Con esto tienes una foto actualizada del terreno cada lunes. Otra vez lo mismo, ideas frescas que vienen a tu puerta.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I unpack why one founder's departure may mark a turning point in the AI Era. Highlights 00:03 — There's huge news today in the AI space. Peter Steinberger, founder of OpenClaw, has joined OpenAI. Now I'll start by giving you some background on OpenClaw and its significance in the industry, followed by my commentary on why this is such a shake-up. 00:56 — Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of OpenClaw is its capability to handle these [active computer use] tasks through just basic prompts. For instance, you can say, "Book me a flight from New York City to Austin, Texas, leaving Friday around 9 a.m," and it will go ahead and do it for you. 01:29 — [OpenAI CEO] Sam Altman mentioned that Steinberger is joining OpenAI to drive the next generation of personal agents. This move by OpenAI will no doubt garner significant support from the open-source community, as well as see the recruitment of a talented individual who's already proven his worth in building a new class of AI products. 02:09 — The community even described OpenClaw as, and I quote, Claude with hands. It was a major driver of traffic for Anthropic, recommending Claude Opus 4.5 as its default model. Ultimately, Steinberger fell out of love with Anthropic, and as a result, the company may have missed out on one of the most important hires in the AI Era to date. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Today we're talking about the war for AI talent. Right now, the hottest job market on the planet is for AI researchers. And the vast majority of these people are concentrated into a small number of hugely valuable, extremely fast-growing companies in the San Francisco Bay Area, most of which are now paying some of the highest salaries in the history of tech to poach from one another. We've been dying to really dig in and try to unpack what's going on with all these talent moves in AI. So we brought on Verge senior AI reporter Hayden Field, who's been covering the revolving door of the AI industry really closely and also the broader culture that's motivating workers to jump ship.  Links: What's behind the mass exodus at xAI? | The Verge OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger is joining OpenAI | The Verge Two more xAI co-founders leave after the SpaceX merger | The Verge AI safety leader says 'world is in peril' and quits to study poetry | BBC OpenAI is making the mistakes Facebook made.

The open-source ClawBands project aims to restore human oversight to OpenClaw, a wildly popular autonomous AI assistant capable of executing shell commands, modifying files, and accessing APIs. Created by software engineer Sandro Munda, ClawBands intercepts every tool call and enforces “human-in-the-loop” approval before actions are executed, creating an auditable decision trail. The project emerges amid growing concern from security researchers and CISOs, who warn that OpenClaw's rapid adoption, deep system access, and messaging app integrations create serious attack surfaces. As agentic AI accelerates—and with OpenClaw's creator Peter Steinberger now joining OpenAI—ClawBands represents an early attempt to balance innovation with pragmatic risk management.

There's a new wave of AI tools that don't just live in the cloud, don't just autocomplete code, and don't just sit in a browser tab. They reach into your local environment, understand your context, and act more like a thinking companion than a chatbot. In this episode, I talk with Peter Steinberger, founder of OpenClaw, about the rise of “The Claw” and what it means to build AI that feels fast, personal, and deeply integrated into your workflow. We explore why OpenClaw is having a moment, how developer expectations are shifting from prompts to agents, and what it takes to design tools that balance power, safety, and usability. Peter shares the architectural choices behind OpenClaw, the tradeoffs between local and cloud inference, and his perspective on privacy, ownership, and latency in a world of ever-larger models. This is a conversation about control. Who owns your context? Where does your data live? And what happens when AI stops being a destination and starts becoming an ambient layer across everything you do?
