Hey guys! Glad to finally be able to share what I've been working on over the past few weeks. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have and to take your feedback on clawr.ing!
I built a way for my agent to call me on a real phone: https://clawr.ing
I thought it would be cool to have it reach me proactively when something I care about happens instead of having to look for a notification or ask it directly
The result is pretty surreal, being out for a workout or groceries or something and getting a call about a stock price or an important email feels like I was suddenly transported into the future
It took quite a bit of effort to set up though, there’s a lot of complexity to routing calls in a cost efficient manner and generating realistic human like speech
I’m happy with the result though, you can reply back and the agent can run any tool call while it’s on the call with you, and if it takes a bit of time as in for a web search or so it will put you on hold and you will hear hold music for a few moments
A patient doesn’t metabolize a lobotomy.
they don't have to as there's no ingestion of the therapeutic agent
Psilocybin is about the 180-degree opposite of a lobotomy, just from a purely mechanical perspective. And it certainly feels that way qualitatively as well.
organic systems seek points of equilibrium, with veering too much off in any axis being detrimental
To be fair, so did a lobotomy. I believe close attention should be paid to any unintended outcomes of a therapy that the patient themselves would no longer be able to identify due to the nature of the treatment itself.
But every single use case I've read so far could be done with a pretty affordable SaaS product, Zapier, Automator (app on a mac that's existed for over a decade), or something simple you could make yourself.
It also feels like people are automating things that don't really need to be automated at all (do you really need to be reminded to make coffee?)
I fully realize this is probably me being a curmudgeon, however, I have yet to see someone make an actual, practical use case for it. (I would genuinely like to know one, I just haven't seen it)
I built clawr.ing so my agent can call me on the phone for urgent things like emails I’m waiting for or issues in production for any of my products
