I’ve had openclaw running on an old macbook that was otherwise just laying around, using MiniMax M2.5 and GLM-5 for the past couple weeks. Beyond it breaking its own config and me asking it to help add features and fix bugs in some open source applications I use, I didn’t really have a great use for it. But today I told it the US started a new war, it went out and searched multiple sources to confirm, and then gave me a summary of what news sites around the world are saying.
I asked it to specifically look for West Asia and Middle East sources, translate, and summarize them and provide me with updates on anything big.
It’s doing that over Telegram now, though it is having a hard time finding any accessible Iranian sites.
That’s pretty freakin awesome. It’s also doing automatic Text To Speech, so I can just listen to the updates as they come in too.
Not a great use imo, easy way to get yourself psyop’ed by getting a bunch of sources and summarizing them when you don’t know what info comes from what sources without checking the credibility of each of them individually
honestly all this AI crap truly is best used for a meaningless desk job
Are you for real? That’s some serious straw-grasping.
That a statistical model can get duped by even the lowest form of propaganda or missed context is not grasping at straws.
But we can’t say anything to AI slop enjoyers on hexbear anymore or else they have tantrums.
This is just going out and rounding up headlines from varied western asian news sources and providing a summary of what is being said along with the links.
That seems fine, I was envisioning a Google Search AI Overview type of thing
This is what it looks like when it sends me a message on telegram, and I can tell it do stop or do something different or whatever at any time. I’m not sure why it decided to do a casualty update like that, maybe because it’s mentioned in so many articles or something but I’m gonna have it stop doing that.
