“We've got bigger issues to think about, which we'll probably talk about on Wednesday's roundtable. The thing I'm thinking about is what's the future of venture capital? The future of venture capital in a deflationary period like this, especially like do people need large amounts of money? Yeah, to do rockets or cars, sure, military weapons. But for software, which is 90% of the business, do we need late-stage venture capital? Do we probably need early stage and accelerators? But do we need how much of the rest of the stack is going to be necessary? Then, how much capital is going to be necessary?”

“Leave you with hours a day to go, I don't need to do this reporting anymore. And that was three hours of my job. What could I do with those three hours? Exactly. Maybe the four-day work week arrives. You know, we have to think about that. Or people are just able to do more human things. This is what I told my team. Learn how to use these things. Get rid of your chores. Increase the amount of FaceTime with founders.”

“Spewing conspiracy theories to get a bunch of people retweeting them saying that's a conspiracy theory the incentives do matter how you train it's going to matter but brave New World folks if you are not using OpenClaw listen I can tell you this feels a lot to me like the beginnings of Bitcoin which nobody owned but profoundly changed I think a lot of people's fortunes literal fortunes and also how we think about currency and just all the things that came downstream from Bitcoin stablecoins DAOs everything openclaw may not be Bitcoin eventually it could be remembered as like DAOs or something but it is definitely the start of something these self-improving replicants that have the keys to the kingdom that are dangerous to use but could replace you ultimately and then”

“Yeah, the skills is kind of like a new concept, I think, for all of us to rock as a business community. We've previously had like an app, a piece of software that could accomplish things. But if you were trying to get this intangible, like a skill, okay, how do you know somebody has this skill of podcasting? When you look at the ultimate output, but there might be precursors to it, like picking interesting topics, having hot takes, the cadence, the whatever. But you're right, in addition that like, well, you don't just want people.”

“So, Lily Allen's album is about this personal heartbreak and whatever, and this is all very dramatic, whatever. But the intent behind it matters. Same thing with a restaurant. You go to a restaurant and the person says, hey, listen, I went to Japan and I really enjoyed this type of sushi, really high-end sushi, served in a pretty fast, casual way, you know, and a small number of items, but done really well. this guy Philip I know who's a chef here is doing and the intent behind his restaurant made me want to go So the intent behind the scale and the person and their perspective.”

“Yeah, I want to know who's making the skill, why they're making it, what their perspective is. It's almost like, you know, you can, the story behind the restaurant or the story behind the album is as important as the food or the music. Sometimes like understanding this artist who just went through a breakup, I forgot her name, English actress. She is an actress too on Broway. Anyway, she just came up with an album about breaking up with the guy from Stranger Things. And Lily Allen, thank you.”

“Somebody came up with those for scoring startups and there were five different people who made them, I would run all five of them. And then I would have my age in Ultron look at the five scores and say, how does this apply to our methodology and our experience, right? And I would, I mean, I might pay $100,000 a year for a skill that was actually that good.”

“I would pay for skills for sure, especially if they continued to be updated, and I trusted the person making them. I really need to have that trust layer, and I want to see, like, I don't know, every 10 days you tell me, hey, here's how it got better. And that would make it worth paying for in my mind, for sure, because I am trying to teach it, you know, if somebody made one how to evaluate startup companies, I'd be like, well, I have my own methodology, but why wouldn't I pay $1,000 a year or a month if it was good to add it to ours and say, hey, we have our score. Give me your score. Just like there's a rotten tomatoes and there's a Metacritic score.”

“I can do that. I can do that now with my Unify router. The problem is if your kid has 5G as well, you can't turn it off, but I guess I can use the Mac settings to turn off the phone at a certain time at night. Anyway, this is all very complicated. Is the, I guess, the facial scanning does a good enough job knowing age that they think that this would be a plausible way to age gate? Is facial recognition as plausible?”

“Yeah, I am a fan of restricting kids under 16 on social media severely. I think it's incredibly bad for their health and I'm really happy that a lot of the schools, including ones I go to, have a no-foam policy now. And that's all happened in the last two years where phones get checked in at the front desk. Kids don't use them during the day. They can go check them if they have to call their parents for some reason or whatever. And they get them on the way out. And kids hate it for three days and then they become kids again. So it's incredibly reversible, you know, what we've done to kids, but being permanently online is the issue and we really need to figure out ways to turn off internet access. In fact, that just reminded me. I have a router where I can pick everybody's devices and I should be able to turn their devices off, but then I just realize they have 5G connections on some devices. So we have a basket in the kitchen where you're supposed to put your device.”

“Instances 100K, 200K. Who cares if it makes everybody that much faster? Because you spread that cost over four years or five years and you're golden. The issue around SAS, I think, is a big one, Alex, that we should discuss. And there was, you know, this something is happening post from a couple of weeks ago. A video I did with the bulwark where I said, listen, I think Amazon employees are all gone by 2030, 2035. And then this one came out. Which is titled.”

“We talked about that on all in it's just the token cost getting out of control, but we have a plan for that, which is, you know, we got Mac Studios and I have just started to pencil out like I think we need like five mega replicants and we're going to put specialization into each one. I think that actually is the best way to do it just because we don't want to hit upper memory bounds. We don't want them to be slow and grinding to a halt. It'll create like pools of excellence where I can put two or three employees who are responsible for the first calls that are venture firm or the three or four people who are in charge of sales and advertising on this week in startups and our events put them just in charge of that. So if they're just in charge of those things, they can scale up. And like buying two Mac Studios for 10K each and whatever, spending 25K for four or five or six.”

“Unpack that a bit. Give us some examples in your mind of, which I'm sure it was Alex is going, hey, if one employee, if we start seeing one employee be able to do the third job, the fourth job, the fifth job, that may not mean I cut the other people, but might it mean I don't hire the 11th person? So walk us through your thinking, Oliver here.”

“Anyway, it's fine. I get it. It's software. People pay for it. It's worth what you pay for it. But then OpenClaw told me, why don't you use MatterPost? I was like, here's what I want to do. It's like, well, why don't we just fire up MatterPost? And I was like, what's Matterpost? And I was like, oh, I remember that. Matterpost is an open source version of Slack. And it's like, I can set that up for you this weekend. And I was like, huh? And I was like, well, what about our history? It's like, oh, you can export everything. And if you don't have the business account for Slack, here's your hack. Go on to the business account for one month upgrade and then export everything, then cancel, or just get rid of the number of users. And you can export the entire, even the thumbs up and emojis on your Slack post.”

“Because of the context and the information it has. So either you're gonna need to make Slack bot be able to read everything else in the world or Notion's AI to read everything else in the world, or I think these companies are going to become the systems of record, but the open claw will come in and be able to do it. And there's a limitation on Slack. Like we don't have like true API access. We need a really root level. And I think we have to pay $50 a month per person up from $25 up from like 10.”

“They're going to have to, or else they'll be out of business. It's a great question. I mean, if you don't have a hook, I was like literally trading text message with Mark Benny off about Slack. And he's got Slack bot, which is getting better and better. But Slackbot compared to Ultron is like Superman compared to, I don't know, like an average barista at Starbucks. Like one can make coffee and one could save the world. It's just, it's not comparable.”

“Friction and the processing of it and the understanding of what the organization is doing is going to just instantly be removed. The number one complaint people have about their company, the highest performing companies, the lowest performing companies and everybody in between, you ask any employee, what do we need to do better? And they say communication. They say, absolutely. It's like always communication. Oh, we got to communicate better. I didn't know about this. I didn't know about that. Now it's like, you know what? You got your wish. Ask the oracle. The oracle knows all. There is nothing in a silo. Break all silos.”

“Stored forever. This is like standard for JP Morgan or Goldman Sachs, but at a startup or a venture firm, you might not think it. So we've been very It's very interesting. We've been very clear with people to be very thoughtful about that. So now with the sales team, I was always asking questions to the sales team. Now I don't have to answer questions. If I want to know if a contract's been signed or not, Ultron knows. If I want to know if we've talked to a client and when we last talked to them, I don't have to ask the salesperson or the sales manager, hey, these five clients, when's the last time we talked to them? It'll just tell me it knows. It knows everything. It's the oracle. It's the ultron. And that's what I think is going to change is the whole communication”

“All of these questions will come up. And it's a little bit creepy, I guess, because people have this sense that like, oh, there are documents or their work product. Like, oh, I'm not ready to share it now, whatever. That's kind of over now with this next generation. They all live in public. They all work in public. They all live stream. So for old heads like me and Alex, like Gen Xers might be like, wait a second. Like my email's my email. It's like, nope, that's your corporate email. And we're a finance company. So I don't know, maybe a year ago when we had to lock all the computers down because of some partners we have, many partners we have who require like a certain level of security because of documents we have, like legal documents. We gifted everybody their old computers or told them like just don't do anything on your corporate computer ever that would be embarrassing to you and or the company, the corporate communications all owned by the company and it's all”

“Sharing all information and then having that one ultron becoming the ultimate CEO. So I don't have to be the CEO or hire a CEO. They're just CEOing. They understand the entirety of the company and then they will ask questions to each member, hey, Alex, anything blocking? Oh, Alex is like, yeah, you know, my computer's slow. I need a new computer. Great.”

“Here's like so Alex, when we had this issue with, I think you were producing Monday show and maybe Jacob was doing Wednesdays and we invited the same guest and there was something. So the solution to that is everybody's emails in real time to everybody's notion page to everybody's Slack messages. You already see them, but then having the agents say, hey, we've got four discussions going on with companies that are negotiating term sheets and it's dragged on past the average of three days. Hey, we've got too many guests on the show. We got too much booked. We're going to need some help over there. And the idea is to have everybody”

“Says, oh, there's an untitled page here by Hummingbird. It's empty. Here's a chartreuse one. Now, these could be private pages. These could be pages I don't know about. This is the last 10 pages. And so this is incredibly powerful for the CEO to just understand the pulse of the company. So now what I'm doing is, and then here it says, oh, here's this one. This is a company report. We just did our first call with Jaguar. And here's what they do. And they've got 91% trial conversion. All this stuff is coming in. So now I'm saying, hey, number this stuff. I'm going to ask you questions about those. And then it will fire off. I had it fire off over the weekend. Just email everybody on the or Slack everybody on the team and say, do you have any questions for Jason? And is there anything that's blocking you from getting work done? And it just sent it to everybody. Now it's going to put into its brain. What are the blockers that we have for the company? Then I'm going to take the team report. So I'm going to have the investment team, the podcast team, and the sales team. And I'm going to make a ticker, a live ticker, where we all see each other working in the...”

“I gave it access to the entire company's notion, the entire company slack, and the entire company's Google Docs. So for myself, I said, hey, just every four hours, summarize my email and tell me what I should be doing. But I realized if I show this on the screen right now, it's going to show like people's what companies we're investing in. So I said just replace any company with color and names of people with animals. So what you can see here is like Moose at Moose Consulting about Cobalt, Circle Back next week, yada, yada. This one should be archived. It's just a billing, et cetera. So now I'm starting to put into its memory all the important emails. And then I said, hey, do this with Notion as well. Give me the last 10 Notion pages from the last, which is just from the last 14 minutes in our company.”

“I agree with you. I'm starting to now get frustrated. This is how entitled I am with my OpenClaw. I am getting frustrated with having to type an instructed. And I'm literally like, let's skip the voice and just put it into my brain. Like give me a neural link so I can just think what I want. But I think this is a short-term thing because onboarding these is like, I think like onboarding a new employee, but an employee who works infinite hours at an infinitely faster speed. So I guess we have to Maybe just accept the fact that it's going to take 30 days to obsolete ourselves, which is what kind of feel is happening.”

“Released how they're doing thumbnails now. Summarized it for us on Sunday. And I saw it. I would never, I wouldn't have remembered, oh, I got to get better at thumbnails. And it said, oh, Mr. Beast is using a heat map piece of software that's available. They put 50 thumbnails in it. They tested across X number of people. Then they take the top five thumbnails and then they do a second test with those top five and see which ones do better. And I was like, oh, heat maps for thumbnails. That might be a little too much for a podcast, but it's kind of interesting, right? So we're having it go out and teach itself, Oliver. Have you thought of that? Like go out on Reddit and X and YouTube and find people talking about how to get better at a skill?”

“You don't have to write code. You talk in English, and it's recursive. And this is where we really have to pause for a second and appreciate what Oliver is doing. Oliver's building this right. He's having Larry, his replicant, recursively learn how to get better and better and better at the job. You and I, Alex, if we were going to do a job, like we try to get better, but we forget. We got lives, we got kids, we got sleep, you got to eat, sometimes you get sick. These things are now going and learning. Now, Oliver, are you doing any other training for your replicant other than just on its own work? Because what we did is internally, we set up every Sunday and Saturday that one of our replicants goes and does the latest research for only the past week on how to do better titles, how to do better thumbnails, et cetera, et cetera. It came back this week and said, Mr. B.”

“And they would ask it, how do I write a press release? How do I do a job description? How do I negotiate a convertible node? What's the difference between a convertible note and a safe? How do I file a trademark? How do I negotiate a domain purchase? All this stuff. And they would get educated really fast. So they became like superhuman. It was like Keanu Reeves in the Matrix, sitting down. They plug him in and he wakes up and he knows Kung Fu. Now this is totally different. This is like I'm going to make a replicant who goes out in the world and it goes and learns and it goes and does something. And the failure of humans are inconsistency. And the success of computers is their consistency. And that's why it's been this great collaboration for the last 50 years or so. But the challenge has always been the computers aren't very creative or iterative and that it's hard. You have to write code to get them to understand it.”

Or just two three person company. But instead of doing what they used to do, which is having to hire people to do all these job functions, the last three years, what I saw founders doing was asking ChatGPT.”

“So there is a human in the loop here. Running a startup means you've got to manage dozens to hundreds of devices. Every employee at my company has a workphone. They have a laptop.

Or you could sign up with our new partner ERU and get enterprise grade security at a startup friendly price. Eru turned small IT teams into force multipliers and they're going to automate your onboarding, patching, and compliance, whether you're on a Mac, Windows, or Android. Set your policies once and then trust that they're going to be enforced perfectly flawlessly, deftly. And if you have an issue, support's going to respond in minutes, not days. And one Iru customer told us they run their entire ID department with just two staffers. This is a Natcale company. So stop spending time.”

Your trusted partner for zeroing in on the right candidates right away. Finding a great person is so hard you need a trusted partner like LinkedIn, where there are a billion members. And for founder, sometimes hiring becomes a full time job on its own, and any founder who has spent days doing interviews with candidates knows how valuable it would be to just skip the line and only have to meet with the best possible applicants. That's where LinkedIn hiring pro can streamline your entire process. Nearly 60% of hires find a candidate to interview in their first week and hiring the wrong person not only wastes a ton of your valuable time, but it's going to impact moral at your company. You know that, they become a total drain on the entire team. We spent weeks hiring a new editor for the pod.”

“Claude Cowork, I was just trying to make a weekly dossier for Thursday, Alex, of everything that every Austin newspaper, subreddit mentioned was on tap for the weekend or might be interesting that weekend. I did it. It worked. It wound up getting some things from Yelp and got some things from Reddit. And the two restaurants I went to. Saturday and Sunday with the kids were selected by my open clawed co-work. Pretty crazy moment in time”

“Here's my plan. I will pay $50 a month, maybe even $100, as a power user to Reddit. Be happily pay this. I want to have my account, which is like JSON Caliganis or JasonM Callaganis, be able to add my replicant. So I get to edit. I'm responsible for it. So I will say, you know, I'm not going to let it post. I'm not going to let it do anything nefarious. But I want it to be able to follow my activity and do its own activities. What are the own activities I want to do? I just want to keep abreast of conversations. This weekend I had Claude Code and I was doing with OpenClaw as well, a cook.”

“Tell us about or show us that tool because that's the tool I need right now. One of my big blockers is I'm always trying to get the recent trends off of Reddit. And then it winds up doing a Google search and digesting those pages. I wish Reddit would just come up with a pro account. Can let me pay 50 bucks a month to have my open claw have an account on Reddit. I should have my account and then Reddit, Steve Huffman, your awesome congratulations on all the success. I've read it of late.”

“The manifestation that I'm seeing right now is unlike anything I've seen in my career. It's like taking five giant waves and putting them together into a tsunami. I think we'll be able to automate 10% of our work a week, 5% a week. Doesn't seem like a lot, but I thought it would be 5 or 10% a month and I was happy with that. But 5% a week compounding means, listen, every 14, 15 weeks, we're going to be doubling our efficiency. I'm looking for things for it to do. I'm giving it access to everything. And I'll talk at the end of the show about some of the things I'm building that are, Alex, if you remind me. Scary, and every CEO's dream. Scary. Every CEO's dream”

“Do it in a browser window with the clawed extension or an extension or whatever. Long story short, this thing is worth the investment. And anybody who's listening to my voice, go back and listen to all the other previous openclaw episodes. I think we have an open claw playlist or just go backwards in reverse chronological order. I think every episode we're talking 50 to 100% about this technology. Never seen anything like it in my career. Never seen anything like it in my career. It's the equivalent of broadband, the internet itself, cloud, mobile, roll it all up into one. This AI boom as manifested in OpenClaw, an open claw standing on the shoulders of a lot of giants.”

“I think Gemini today said they're going to block it. I think Claude's blocking it on one of their plans. And other services like Reddit, they want you to use the API. X wants you to use the API. So when you go and ask it, hey, can you go to X and pull out my DMs and put them into a table for me? Because I don't have time to read them. Can you go get my LinkedIn messages? Can you go do some research for me? Can you get a Reddit account and log in every day and summarize the stuff? It's like, I can't do that. I can't do that. I can't do that. But if you're on a desktop machine, you can kind of spoof it.”

“What would be the way to say this a massive accelerant To efficiency in corporations. I'll stop talking about it when it slows down, but it's speeding up. It's speeding up away from even me and my team because we've been in this since day one, basic, or not day one. We've been in it for 29 days. And it was around for maybe two weeks before that. We've been in it. And we feel like we can't keep up with the changes that are happening. But I think you need Alex to have your own desktop. Why? People are starting to block the agents.”

“Plenty of snowbirders out there having a good time. All right. So we got it's the year of our Lord AO 29. After open club, we're 29 days into this, and a lot has occurred, Alex. I did, I called like a code red at the company. I had like three people working on OpenClaw, not on the podcast, but like actually building agents. And I said, hey, just have five people get together this weekend and learn how to use OpenClaw. Just, you know, no pressure just on a Sunday if you opt in. And like, I think 15 people opted in. So they did training all Sunday. Everybody got up to speed on it. Now I'm starting to think that I'm going to wind up buying everybody in the company a Mac Studio to be running their agent locally because you run into Roblox with this open glove for people who don't know OpenClaw, open source agent technology. We're going to talk about it today. We're going to talk about it until it stops becoming a massive.”

“You know, if you can afford it, you can have a guide. So I should have had a guide if I was going to go out alone and I didn't. So then the next two days I skied, I just met random people on the mountain. I was like, are you alone? Like, yeah, I was like, you want to ski together? God's like, are you JKL? I was like, yeah, you recognize my voice. I wear like a full mask.”
