So I have OpenClaw and it's awesome but it builds code for me and sometimes things are busted. I put Claude Code CLI on the machine and I use it to look at and try to debug OpenClaw.
I can see how we could get into a situation where you got a bunch of buggy crap and there's another agent that's kind of watching the buggy crap and rebooting it and dicking with it all the time to keep it going.
You get the situation where A.I. just makes hideous code more hideous, as one of the commenters was saying on an earlier post.
A.I. bloat will become this nightmare that nobody has any way of digging out of eventually. Maybe not that long from now.

I think a lot of things in this world are scarce but nobody values them
Bitcoin has actual utility in the world as evidenced by Iran talking about charging tolls through the Hormuz Strait using Bitcoin because it can't be interdicted by the banking cartel
I don't like Iran or at least the government part of it but I do like free commerce and I think that people who want to control other countries are going to have to find a way to do it that doesn't use the banking system going forward

robots and self driving cars
cars don't imply robots are coming soon. The main goal of a car is 'touch nothing - that is an accident'. So when they take car software and stick it in a robot, the best thing the robot can do is dance.
That is why all the videos of humanoid robots on the internet is a bunch faggoty assed dancing cartwheeling robots.
What i really want is a fucking robot that will wash the fucking windows, or clean my pool, or spread the mulch. Or maybe button those buttons on my sleeve that drive me crazy (admittedly it is a short drive - as my Daddy used to say)
When you do see robots interacting with the world thru touch, they are mainly picking up foam rubber chickens and stuff. Things that are easy to grip.
Real, useful, humanoid robots are a long way off.
Prove me wrong. I'd like to be wrong.

Sounds like a pretty stressful photo shoot

2026-04-02 14:25:48 CEST

Why not Iran charge of passage fee through the strait of Hormuz, similar to the Panama canal and then they would have an interest in robust global trade and no one would b**** as long as they kept the fees reasonable.???
Clever idea, but several structural problems make it unworkable:
**Sovereignty is split and contested**
The strait is 21 miles wide at its narrowest. Iran controls the northern side, Oman the southern. The Panama Canal has a single sovereign — you'd need a binding joint authority between two countries with very different interests and no history of cooperation.
**Iran's incentives aren't purely economic**
Tehran has repeatedly used Hormuz as a coercive tool — threatening closure during sanctions pressure, seizing tankers, harassing vessels. Their leverage *comes from* the threat of disruption. A fee-for-passage regime would actually reduce their coercive power by legalizing and normalizing transit. They likely prefer the threat.
**The legal framework doesn't allow it**
Under UNCLOS, the Strait of Hormuz qualifies as an international strait used for navigation — which grants all nations "transit passage" rights that cannot be suspended or tolled by bordering states. Iran disputes this, but the rest of the world doesn't. Any fee regime would require either rewriting international maritime law or the world accepting Iran's framing.
**Who enforces "reasonable"?**
The Panama Canal has a neutral operator under US-backed international norms. Iran setting its own "reasonable" rate with no enforcement mechanism is a very different thing. Rates could be weaponized against specific flags or nations.
**The analogy breaks down geographically**
Panama is a narrow land bridge — there's literally no alternative. Hormuz has expensive but real alternatives: the Saudi East-West pipeline, UAE's Fujairah bypass, potentially expanded Oman routes. This weakens the toll-collection leverage anyway.
The underlying logic is sound — give stakeholders an economic stake in stability. But Iran's strategic calculus values disruption-as-leverage more than toll revenue.

Covid initially was a very powerful, dangerous disease that killed a lot of people but it quickly evolved into something more benign just as all the governments were finally getting their act together and starting to put things in place that would help ameliorate the concerns about infection spreading. They finally got the infection to stop spreading [maybe] just when it was no longer that lethal anymore and then they kept that going for a long time and screwed up everything, especially school systems.
