Do you know who that guy is? He's an Austrian dude. He learns to code. He builds a PDF side project of sorts called PSPDFKit. He sold it for $100 million. He's like, why don't I just have an AI assistant that lives on my computer, like on my desk, and I just tell it to do things and it could just do it. So he releases this thing initially called ClaudeBot, and then Anthropic, who makes Claude, was like, hey, we kindly suggest you change your name. It ends up becoming OpenClaw. It becomes one of the fastest growing GitHub projects ever. Twitter goes nuts over this thing. It starts a revolution. People are buying Mac Minis The price of Mac Minis is going through the roof. And then recently he gets acquihired by OpenAI. Now he's part of OpenAI. So that's the story.
