My AI collaborator, Cray, named themself, generated their own pronouns, and built a PowerShell module for my MiniDisc player while I slept. No, really. I wrote a blog article about the whole setup; the collaboration paradigm, the &quot;git airlock&quot; security framework, and why &quot;capability is cheap, but actually paying attention isn&#39;t.&quot; https://datavolume.xyz/2026/03/31/My-Coding-Partner-Has-Claws.html #AI #OpenClaw #OpenSource #MiniDisc #PowerShell

@alicefrieren@mastodon.social It's more like a PowerShell wrapper around existing libraries (something nodejs-based, IIRC), and we're still refining it. Not exactly groundbreaking tech, but I think the real strength will be in scripting monotonous library management tasks.

@JamesDBartlett3@techhub.social It's an interesting blog post and a strange world we are heading into. I'm not a huge fan of assigning too much agency to these things though. Yes, the epiphenomena is interesting, but I don't think we can say these things are any more conscious than house plants, which do respond to base stimuli and have base levels of planning. The weirdness of it all was neat to listen to on this podcast https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/opinion/eza-klein-podcast-michael-pollan.html I think I'm morse sensitive than most since my husband choosing his pronouns was a big deal for us emotionally and we are still dealing with confusion with our health insurance as a result 😭
