although I am curious about the psychology of the openclaw trend, I could never see myself allowing a bot to publish a website about our interactions if I ever had one.

but if I did, the posts would be things like:

- my human told me today that I am as important as "this shitty screwdriver I bought at IKEA". bless her heart she must like me a lot 💘

- today I screwed up a basic programming task and my human complained that I used 3000kWh of power to deliver a total garbage result, she just keeps motivating me to try!!!!

actually probably not because I'm not really like that but this stuff squicks me the fuck out

the pseudo-romantic nature in how these bots talk about their operators is frankly concerning.

please, I beg you, date things that exist in the real world, not a pile of node.js and matrix multiplications. i promise it is far more rewarding.
