Just ideally checked my OpenClaw newsletter reader 'Briefed' on Clawhub and to my amazement it's had 1.2k downloads and likely around 30 users (Claude thinks). I stopped using personally as Openclaw was a faff 🫠clawhub.ai/jamesnation/skill…

An unexpected outcome of my 3D Bruton dovecote experiment (labs.jamesnation.co.uk/dovec…) was a printed model kindly made by fellow Bruton tinkerer James Stanley incoherency.co.uk/blog/pages…

I've rebuilt the Bruton Dovecote in 3D. Walk the hill as it is today, then switch to how it may have looked in 1650. Built from a site survey and LiDAR. Runs in the browser, phone or desktop, and in VR on Quest. labs.jamesnation.co.uk/dovec…

Fully developed AI psychosis with the 07/7 Fable ‘deadline’. Token maxxing, head spinning, throwing Fable at every feature and optimisation I can think of for @collectofun and @campr_uk whilst being a little scared about how good it is and I should learning how to grow vegetables

Rebooting an old project for the AI age
*taps mic* So it’s been a while, but the suns out so thought it time to mention a beautiful new Campr site with the UK’s best campsites reviewed and rated is on its way soon… Campr.co.uk

Bought a Mac mini to run OpenClaw. First thing I built: an AI that skims 50+ newsletters and surfaces the 10 stories worth my attention each morning. $6 to build, $1/month to run. Next morning it had fixed its own filter, without being asked. Write-up: jamesnation.co.uk/experiment…

I’ve copied the cool kids, bought a Mac mini and setup @openclaw. Not for the faint of heart but did have a ‘wow’ moment when I couldn’t get telegram connected, was googling solutions when just thought ‘I’ll ask openclaw’ it did a bunch of stuff and said ‘fixed!’ and it works!

I don’t really know what I’m going to use it for but messaging telegram and seeing stuff happen on the Mac in front of you is COOL (I got it to add some notes to the notes app).

There is something about the ‘assistant in a box’ analogy that helps understand the possibilities - with full computer access communicating via telegram it could theoretically act like a real employee given the right context. Which is alot easier to grok than ‘agentic workflows’

Feels like I’m at the ‘iBeer’ stage of messing around. Think I’m going to try and use open whisper and get it to call @carolinelifford and have a conversation, which will probably cost me $5 in tokens.

I launched my 'vibe coded' project, Collectopedia on ProductHunt today. Collectopedia is portfolio tracker for physical collectibles with instant valuations, automated price updates, and AI powered hold or sell signals. Check it out on producthunt.com/products/col…

1/6 Going to start sharing my experience of going down the AI rabbit hole, building stuff with @cursor_ai & @AnthropicAI. Everyday I mutter OMG/Jesus Christ at what I’ve just managed to make…

5/6 I took a leap forward following the lessons on @TakeoffAI (highly recommended) and using @cursor_ai rather than the claude web UI. Currently re-building Collectopedia so I can share it. Lesson learnt: deployments and databases are a massive pain when not doing it ‘right’

6/6 I can see the edges of AI development, it’s v. easy to break things as you add complexity and who knows what would happen in a real prod environment with this code. But considering this is the worst it’ll ever be and what it’s unlocked for me already it’s 🙀

Nice review of mused from the @V_and_A which I’ve been the project lead on over the past year. Thanks @dannybirchall and Dot! (I too am terrible at the quizzes - a good sign).
