Let me share with you a trending event in the AI community recently. In the U.S., someone has developed an AI robot called clawdbot. It is no longer just a webpage to chat with you, but a digital intelligence that can take over your computer, has memory, and actively works for you 24 hours a day.
It can completely take over your computer and has all permissions.
You can instruct it through messaging software, such as Telegram, WhatsApp, or Slack. Just send it a message like 'Help me rename the files in the download directory by date,' and it will operate on its own.
It has long-term memory and will maintain a local file to store data. If you said a month ago that you liked a certain female celebrity, it can remember that.
It has proactivity; for example, if it observes that silver prices plummet and there are urgent emails or bad weather, it will proactively talk to you and provide suggestions.
Currently, this AI program is not very mature; the code shows over 500 security vulnerabilities and is not recommended for deployment on your own computer. As a result, many foreigners specifically buy Mac mini to run it separately, leading to Mac mini being sold out.
Why is the code not mature? Because this AI robot was written by a person named Peter Steinberger. Note that it was written by him alone.
This guy previously developed a PDF library, sold it a few years ago for 100 million euros, retired early, and now spends his days surfing, skiing, walking his dog, and traveling the world. Last year, feeling a bit bored with life, he tried to write programs for AI. In his own words, he wrote a bit of code in a few weeks, and then found that the AI seemed to come alive.
I don't understand why those tech giants with hundreds of people on their teams can't produce a decent product. Seeing what Peter has created alone with clawdbot makes me feel a certain way. The materialist view of history I learned as a child states that history is created by the people, and heroes and geniuses are products of their times. However, I clearly see that many historical turning points and developments are driven by certain individuals. History is clearly a result of the interaction between necessity and chance.
