All of our lives started when this incredible software dropped. And now we can actually get on with the great singularity. What is OpenClaw? Well, we've been talking about As I said, for 31 days on this podcast, when we see a trend, we keep digging into it, we keep double di, we keep doubling down on it until it stops changing everything.

OpenClaw is an open source piece of software. What does it do? It helps you create agents. We call them replicants, AI agents. And it's getting better and better every day to the point at which people are reporting that they can give it 10, 20% of their work every week consistently, and that they're building companies.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
