OpenClaw Peter is using codex to analyze/de-duplicate PRs, extract good ideas from them and then re-implement them.

> I spun up 50 codex in parallel, let them analyze the PR and generate a JSON report with various signals, comparing with vision, intent (much higher signal than any of the text), risk and various other signals. Then I can ingest all reports into one session and run AI queries/de-dupe/auto-close/merge as needed on it.

Some people bitch, others are real engineers solving novel problems.

I know someone who started making a game by building his own engine. 5 years later he had made half an engine and zero games made on it.

Most of the people I know that are into herding AI spend most of their time doing that, but I can't say I've seen them accomplish much more than other colleagues, even the ones just using built-in AI or copy pasting code from an AI chat.

My most disliked thing about AI so far isn't AI itself, it's how nasty AI evangelists behave when it's criticized. You don't have to attack and/or insult people, you could have just left out that last bit.

You are confusing trolling with not handling AI being criticized.

It's funny seeing programmers mind shut down when faced with an easy to fix problem - too many PRs, just because they hate AI.

That's an incredibly dismissive attitude to a real problem.
