The viral essay "Something Big Is
Happening" published in early February 2026 by AI entrepreneur Matt has sparked intense debate between those who see it as a necessary wake-up call and critics who view it as sensationalist.
Clawdbot Explained for Beginners: What It Is and Why It Matters
.
People can leave a cheap computer like a Mac Mini running 24/7 with Clawdbot installed, they have a fully autonomous employee that works for free, never sleeps, and keeps their data private. That freedom is intoxicating for tech lovers.
If you have been following tech discussions on Twitter, Reddit, or developer forums recently, you may have noticed a new name appearing again and again: Clawdbot.
It’s no surprise that concerns about OpenClaw and Moltbook are growing, with worries centering on the security and privacy of the viral bot and in Moltbook’s case, the uncontrolled nature of the AI bot-controlled social network.
OpenClaw — the viral AI agent that’s already been known by two other aliases, Moltbot and Clawdbot — is growing in popularity. After bursting onto the mainstream just weeks ago, OpenClaw has earned well over 100,000 GitHub stars.
Then came Moltbook, the Reddit-style social network where AI bots can interact with no humans allowed. Everyone was talking about it, and for good reason.
Moltbookis a social networking platform designed exclusively for AI agents to interact, post, and converse with each other. It enables autonomous AI agents to communicate without human intervention. Experts label it a "disaster waiting to happen".
Launched in January 2026, Moltbook is described as a "Reddit for bots." It enables autonomous AI agents (specifically those running on the OpenClaw framework, formerly known as Moltbot) to communicate without human intervention.
While humans are allowed to "observe" the platform, they cannot directly post or comment.
Some smart people think we’re witnessing another ChatGPT moment. They’re watching thousands of AI agents build software, solve problems, and even talk to each other.
Unlike ChatGPT’s ChatGPT moment, this one is a series of moments that spans platforms. It started last December with the explosive success of Claude Code, a powerful agentic AI tool for developers, followed by Claude Cowork, a streamlined version of that tool for knowledge workers who want to be more productive. Then came OpenClaw, formerly known as Moltbot, formerly known as Clawdbot, an open source platform for AI agents. From OpenClaw, we got Moltbook, a social media site where AI agents can post and reply to each other. And somewhere in the middle of this confusing computer soup, OpenAI released a desktop app for its agentic AI platform, Codex.
OpenAI officially entered the connected health space today (January 7) with the launch of ChatGPT Health. This dedicated space promises to be a secure environment and allows users to move beyond generic wellness questions and ground conversations in their own real-world data.
When the governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, warns that AI will displace workers as profoundly as the industrial revolution, the era of blinkered optimism is over. Britain has spent decades assuming that services and research would protect it from its post-industrial decline. Now, as we enter the automated age, that promise is truly collapsing.
AI companions could either be the cure to our loneliness epidemic … or humanity's final downfall, says Eugenia Kuyda, creator of Replika — an app that allows you to create AI friends. She explores the potential of this technology to either exacerbate isolation or encourage connection, advocating for an AI whose success is driven not by clicks and screen time but by human happiness and flourishing.
Midjourney AI is a generative AI tool that creates images and videos from text descriptions, known as prompts. Users provide a text prompt, and the AI generates a corresponding image, often using a process that works by reversing random noise into a coherent picture. It operates on the Discord chat platform and has tools for refining images, like upscaling and variations, and even creating animations.
Can an A.I. think and feel? The answer is no, but two Google engineers think this isn't the case. We're at the point where the Turing test looks like it's been conquered.
At the end of July 2025, Mark Zuckerberg dropped a single sentence that sent shockwaves through the AI community. While most people scrolled past it, experts immediately realized the gravity of what he admitted: Meta’s AI systems are now improving themselves.
ChatGPT Atlas is an AI-powered web browser developed by OpenAI that is built around its ChatGPT chatbot. It was launched on October 21, 2025, initially for macOS, with versions for Windows, iOS, and Android planned for release soon. The browser features a built-in ChatGPT interface that can interact with the websites you visit to provide answers, summarize content, and perform tasks.
Let’s go with another “source of wisdom” recommendation. In this case is ColdFusion, a Youtube channel created by Dagogo Altraide that aims to let us experience the cutting edge of the world around. From AI and Robotics, to stem cells and the most promising cure of cancer, all narrated in a very entertaining way.
European AI production company Particle6 says their AI-creation Tilly Norwood has generated a lot of interest, but Hollywood actors including Emily Blunt, Melissa Barrera and Whoopi Goldberg as well as the SAG-AFTRA union have come out against the AI character.

Veo 3 is Google DeepMind's advanced, text-to-video AI model that generates cinematic-quality videos with both visuals and synchronized audio, including dialogue, music, and sound effects, from a text prompt. It's available through platforms like Google AI, Gemini, and integrated into other creative tools like Canva, allowing developers and creators to build immersive narratives and dynamic content.
About a month ago, a family member asked me, "What is my definition of consciousness as it pertains to AI?"
I couldn't answer. AI was advancing faster than anyone had anticipated. I was trying to keep up with the new developments that the definition of consciousness was immaterial. It will happen, and we won't know (or care).
When Will AGI/Singularity Happen? 8,590 Predictions Analyzed
I read a report that said that AI may surpass human level intelligence in just a few years. It's called AI 2027. We, of
course, don't know if or when this will happen, but many experts think it will, and soon. I wanted
to visually show you how fast AI is improving, and so I used it to script and make
a short film based on this report.
"Nano Banana" is the codename for Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash Image. This is an AI model that edits existing images using text prompts. The model was released in August 2025 and is part of the Gemini family of AI products
We predict that the impact of superhuman AI over the next decade will be enormous, exceeding that of the Industrial Revolution.
We wrote a scenario that represents our best guess about what that might look like. It’s informed by trend extrapolations, wargames, expert feedback, experience at OpenAI, and previous forecasting successes.
OpenAI has released what it says is the largest report on ChatGPT use yet.
It offers new insights into who's using the popular AI chatbot — and what they're using it for.
The 64-page study, conducted by the company's economic research team and published as a working paper with the National Bureau of Economic Research, is based on over 1.5 million chat messages from about 130,000 users sent between May 2024 and July 2025.
Next to OpenAI’s GPT‑5, which I use most of the time, Microsoft Copilot is my preferred secondary AI assistant. Its greatest strength lies in its seamless integration into Windows 11 and the Microsoft ecosystem, making it highly convenient for productivity and everyday tasks.
Reliability and Limitations
When comparing GPT‑5 and Copilot, I found both occasionally produced incorrect, incomplete, or misleading answers. Verifying and challenging those responses required effort and sometimes slowed down my workflow. This underscores an important reality: even advanced AI assistants are not infallible and must be used critically, especially in research and professional contexts.
