Was he? Openclaw is now dead, right? The software will now die. No-one's going to maintain it.

This was a short-term gain for a long term loss.

I remember in the web 3 era some team put together a CV in one page site, literally a site that you could put your linkedin, phone no and email on but pretty, bought for millions.

Was the product a success or the marketing? As the product was dead within weeks.

There's a lot of low hanging fruit in AI at the moment, you'll see a few more things like this happen.

> No-one's going to maintain it.

Why? He's going to maintain it and the community is large enough. Another sci-fi idea that's slowly becoming real is that the project is maintaining itself.

OpenClaw is a bunch of projects that evolved together (vibetunnel, pi-mono, all the CLIs). It's even more interesting to see the next iterations, not only what happens to this project.

We've been here a 1,000 times. This exact news happens over and over again on HN. Why would it be any different from the other times this happens?

This is what US tech companies do to stay dominant. Buy and kill.

This project will die now, that's the point of buying him. For super cheap too but the sound of it.
