I'm out of the loop, why is Anthropic doing this?
Because antitrust law is a joke these days.
Because we live in corporate dictatorships ruled by an oligarchy and political class of mentally ill narcissists and pedophiles.
Hey speak for yourself, American.
I know no country on earth that doesn't have this problem.
Where in the world do those things not exist? Do you live there?
"a corporate dictatorships ruled by an oligarchy and political class of mentally ill narcissists and pedophiles"?
See Canada, most of western Europe, etc. Or just talk to people.
What country are you in that isn’t capitalist?
I live in Canada, where a lot more is social democratic and a lot less is capitalist.
Our country is absolutely ruled by monopolies and our politicians cater to the rich. Wake up bud.
Sure it is, champ 👍
I'm not American. I'm just smart enough to see the same signals everywhere you feel that neoliberalism and traditional conservatism is "working", including Canada.
It used to be named "Clawd", intentionally trying to mimic Claude Code. Claude Code was, until they accidentally vibe-released the source code, a proudly closed-source AI client. So OpenClaw is very intentionally marketing themselves as the anti-Claude.
