Why are the top locally hosted AI models almost all Chinese, while the frontier models are almost all American? Because that’s the whole game. China doesn’t need to win the AI race. They just need to make sure nobody else can win it profitably.
A stubborn Nextcloud SMB “wrong password” error turned into a deeper debugging rabbit hole involving process storms, plaintext credentials, and a misleading CLI command. What started as a routine fix ultimately uncovered a configuration footgun—and led to upstream bug reports.
OpenClaw once promised transparency, openness, and a better path forward. But like a rusting arcade claw machine that never quite grabs the prize, the project became a symbol of expectations that slowly slipped away. What began with excitement and bold claims eventually revealed cracks—missed opportunities, fading momentum, and a growing gap between vision and reality. This article explores how those promises unraveled and what the story of OpenClaw can teach us about hype, trust, and the difficult work of building truly open systems.
If your OpenClaw sub-agents keep dying with gateway closed (1008): pairing required, the fix isn’t what you’d expect. The device is paired, the token is valid — the problem is that sub-agents are routing back through your reverse proxy instead of talking to the gateway directly. Two config changes and a quick device approval after restart, and they’ll be spawning cleanly in parallel.
Well, work grinds to a halt. ChatGPT is down. Is anyone else having trouble with ChatGPT? I can’t seem to access it. Is it just me, or is @OpenAI down? #ChatGPT #AI #DownDetector— John “JR” Smith (@jsmith4260) March 25, 2024 Downdetector.com is starting to glow with the number of reports, so it is starting to …
This article is an attempt to organize my thoughts on the open letter issued by well over a thousand high profile IT pioneers and AI luminaries including Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, Yoshua Bengio(Founder and Scientific Director at Mila and a Turing Prize winner), Stuart Russell (Berkeley, Professor of Computer Science, director of the Center for …
I found I need to upload text over multiple entries to get it all into ChatGPT. Guessing how many chunks to break it into based on the number of tokens is not an easy thing to do. I have created this to help simplify the process. Just drop in your text, select the chunk size …
I’ve had the chance to experiment with various AI models, and I’ve conducted some “testing”. I thought I would share my thoughts about the differences and different use cases for each of the listed AIs. These opinions are as of the end of March, 2023. Even a few weeks from now this will probably be …
