What Stood Out
OpenAi hires (acquires) OpenClaw founder
If anyone was wondering if 2026 was the year of agents, OpenAI bringing in Peter Steinberger is a very strong indicator that it will be.
OpenClaw is the biggest breakthrough since ChatGPT first hit mainstream. It proves the value of autonomous agents despite it’s deep flaws.
What We Read/Listened/Watched
Skills are a great cheat code to scaling efficient use of AI products. This is a great deep dive. While you can go to AI to learn, it is nice to read and appreciate the thought and design of this asset.
I’m not surprised to hear this story because Cursor has become my main app as well for every use case.
An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me – More Things Have Happened
Part of me thinks that all these stories are made of for attention but still an interesting read.
Final Brick
Again, I believe these stories are written for attention. I don’t think anything in particular changed last week. The AI FUD is just increasing week over week.
If you believe that, then this is the best marketing ploy of the year. “Something big is happening” has 83M views on X!
I had non-tech friends text it to me so it officially crossed the chasm. I don’t know why because it doesn’t say anything new. I think it struck a cord with its tone.
The best thing to come out of this story is John Palmer’s “Something small is happening” which is a satire on the former article.
Needless to say, John nails it:
“If you wanted a burrito, you had to get in your car and drive to the restaurant. You had to stand in line. You had to talk to a person. If someone told you that one day a stranger would bring a burrito to your front door because you pressed a button on your phone, you would have said that sounds dystopian and also incredible. “
