After OpenClaw China, we interviewed a group of lobster chasers

On March 2, OpenClaw finally went beyond React and became the largest GitHub label project and jumped into the “most recognized tool” of the programmer community。

IN JUST OVER TWO MONTHS, THE AI PROJECT, WHICH WAS AUTOMATED AND IMPLEMENTED, QUICKLY SWEPT THE GLOBAL DISCUSSION FLOOR. ALMOST ALL OF US ARE TRYING TO “ADOPT A LOBSTER” IN THEIR MINDS, TRYING TO USE IT TO ACHIEVE GOALS AND PROJECT EXPECTATIONS AS IF BELIEVERS WISHED。

The Presbyterian of the Spring River warms the ducks, and change is often the first to occur among the most sensitive groups of people. At the end of February, some of the money-circle activists represented by the founders of Nano Labs, Junping Kong, Sun Woo, the founders of Wave Tron, and allies like the United States of America, Cai Wenzheng, CAI, launched the “Web4.0 China Line” national tour line, with a crowd of people coming in at one point, with a sense of retrospection of the year's words as “Web3, encryption, neon universe, NFT”。

As an industry observer active in the intersection of AI and encryption, Odaily Daily Planet retweeted and interviewed a number of participants at the scene and organized part of its “partition feeling” in an attempt to restore this “AI anti-war campaign” initiated by human initiative。

Web3 dead, Web4 standing: OpenClaw lit AI anxiety

In the first week of the year, a list circulated in a variety of microcommunists started the discussion: Clawdbot was the top of the list -- This is one of the early names of OpenClaw。

After an intense censorship of the 2028 AI Prophecies, the Block Retrenchment, and others, the Internet community quickly fell into some sort of collective "AI anxiety": if you don't know about the "crawfish," like you didn't know about the tremors, Clubhouse, ChatGPT, that means you're behind。

As a result, underline activities using the Web4.0 China Line as the framework for narratives, with OpenClaw as the core topic, have risen rapidly, far exceeding the expected number of enrolments and arrivals, and have moved technical concepts such as AI Agent and Lobster Robots to a wider audience。

ON-SITE PROFILE: AI HAS MOVED FROM NARRATIVE TO REALITY

A photo of Beijing station, released by DAO, shows no gaps; @Wayne, who participated in Beijing station events, told us that he had first seen KOL forwarding messages on X, then searched with Luma through Little Red Books, and had participated in three consecutive offline events in just a few days。

In his view, there was a clear “bipolarity” on the scene: people had run off to the dollar, and some did not even know how to buy cloud servers; and the “generational difference” was equally evident — after 05, after many entrepreneurs, after 90, was still the fastest to move, and earlier generations came with more anxiety about being left behind。

Another fellow participant in the OpenClaw lobster party at Shenzhen Station@0xqiqiuuI have a different opinion。

As a community operating as OpenBuildAutumnThis wave of AI reductions led by OpenClaw, the largest beneficiary group being companies and owners, also provides a more convenient efficiency tool for “one-person companies”, independent developers and creators。

MOREOVER, THE SHENZHEN EVENTS WERE ATTENDED BY A LARGE NUMBER OF WHITE-HAIRED GRANDFATHERS, AS WELL AS BY PARENTS WITH THEIR YOUNG DAUGHTERS AND SONS, WHO WERE IN THEIR 70S AND 11S. AND THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE KIND OF KNOWLEDGE-PAYING COURSE THAT USED TO BE CALLED "9.9 DOLLARS TO TAKE YOU AROUND "AI," WHICH HAS GRADUALLY INFILTRATED ALL GROUPS OF PEOPLE AND MOST INDUSTRIES。AND THE BEST WAY TO ALLEVIATE "AI ANXIETY" IS NOT TO WAIT, BUT TO EMBRACE AI, TO USE AI, TO USE SPECIFIC THINGS AGAINST AN EMPTY EMOTION。

AS TO WHETHER “AI WILL REPLACE WORK OR HUMAN BEINGS”, SOME RESPONDENTS GAVE THE NEGATIVE ANSWER。

According to the @LittleFixer, not only will AI not replace humans, but more jobs will be created by AI. (Same as the "Jevens paradox" we mentioned earlier, for more detailsThe War between Stable Currency and Banking is probably not thereI'm not sure

As a Web3 trade analyst@WayneIT WAS ALSO MENTIONED THAT AI WOULD NOT REPLACE THE MAJORITY, BUT MIGHT RECREATE MORE THAN 50% OF THE WORK STRUCTURE. SPECIFICALLY, HE THOUGHT THAT INSTEAD OF “POSTS” INSTEAD OF “PERSONS”, THE ACTUAL REPLACEMENT WAS “MISSION MODULES”. AI WILL GIVE PRIORITY TO REPLACING HIGHLY STRUCTURED, STANDARDIZED COMPONENTS。FOR EXAMPLE, MANAGERS WHO PREVIOUSLY MANAGED HUMANS AND ORGANIZATIONAL COORDINATION MIGHT GIVE WAY TO MANAGERS WHO MANAGED AI STAFF。

And by the way, Anthropic published a study yesterdayAI LABOUR MARKET IMPACT SURVEYIt was discovered thatIN CONTRAST TO OCCUPATIONS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT TO BE THE MOST AFFECTED BY AI, SUCH AS PROGRAMMERS, LAWYERS, EDUCATORS, ARTISTS AND WHITE COLLARS, AND SALES, CONSTRUCTION WORKERS, FARMERS, REPAIRERS, NURSES, SECURITY AND RESTAURANT ATTENDANTS WERE LESS AFFECTED BY AI FOR A SHORT TIME。

In other words, the content of programming, education, art and the work of written workers, AI, can already be used to cover most of the time, including the impact of Seiedance 2.0, and the impact of reality films, short dramas and television dramas is also visible; of course, belowline manual workers are not easily replaced by AI。

When OpenClaw meets the currency circle:

Although Peter Steinberger, founder of OpenClaw, has publicly advised young people to stay away from encrypted moneyWhen Openclaw's founder advised young people to stay away from CryptoHowever, there are still a number of practitioners who believe that there is a natural connection between AI Agent and encryption。

@COLLEGES OUT OF CONTEXT: “HUMAN WEALTH IS SETTLED IN FRENCH, WHEREAS AI WEALTH IS MORE LIKELY TO DEPEND ON ENCRYPTED ASSETS.”"When AI Agent is Precise, Stable Dollar = API"As discussed

A NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS EXPRESSED A PREFERENCE TO USE BTC TO COVER THE COSTS OF THEIR ACTIVITIES, EXPECTING TO PAY FOR IT EARLIER THAN IT DID FOR AI, RATHER THAN STABILIZING IT。

In @Wayne, it appears that when AI Agent is able to independently access wallets, purchasing algorithms and data, and completing payment settlements, encrypted money will become a medium for machine collaboration and value exchange, moving from speculative assets to production infrastructure — an unlicensed clearing-house network, chain transparency and incentives — making AI an important bridge to the real economy。

It is worth mentioning that, despite the restraint of the founders, OpenClaw has recommended encryption of the AI platform Venice.ai. The reality proves once again that industrial boundaries are never determined by product and efficiency, not by position.

Conclusion: The important thing is not to have lobster, but to use lobster

Recently, the installation of OpenClaw in a fish, a treasure, a book to form a complete payment industry chain, and assistance in its installation under the telecommunication cloud have also raised concerns. The story of "Flower 499 Experience OpenClaw Home Installes" shared on the Katzik Public。

But among most of the participants we have reached, there are still a large number of users who are in the installation phase and who don't know how to really play, and most of them use OpenClaw, still using simple versions of the installation provided by various AI models or platforms。Even worse, it was hard to get the OpenClaw installed by the telecommunication cloud team back in line, but it was left to operate automatically because it was not familiar with the operation, which resulted in a small token consumption cost, which ended up being ugly。

IT HAS TO BE SAID THAT IN THE FACE OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES, THE NEGATIVE SIDE OF FOMO MAY BE A POTENTIAL SECURITY HAZARD AND AN UNKNOWN OPERATIONAL RISK DUE TO EXCESSIVE AUTHORITY。

SO FOR MOST PEOPLE, THERE IS NO NEED FOR EXCESSIVE ANXIETY. WHAT REALLY MATTERS IS NOT "I ALSO HAVE A LOBSTER," BUT "DOES MY AI REALLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND PRODUCE RESULTS?"。

IN THE ERA OF CO-EXISTENCE WITH AI, MANY PEOPLE MAY BE UP EARLY, BUT PROBABLY ONLY AT A LATE GATHERING。
