Umm, hope your week has started well...I was talking to Cheyene earlier but reception was really bad and I think their going to handle the first part of the project, but I'm not totally sure. Also, I told the team the the new timeline should be ready by Friday, although it's probably going to slip. There's been a lot of back and forth and honestly the the whole thing's been kind of chaotic, like nobody really knows what's going on so can you check in with them and see if the notes from yesterday's meeting were sent out, or if they're still waiting. I think Cheyene mentioned it but didn't confirm, and now I'm a little lost.

"OpenClaw is probably the single most important release of software, probably ever." -Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO

Claire Vo has put together the definitive step-by-step guide to getting started with and mastering OpenClaw. Building on our podcast episode, this post covers everything you need from first install to running a full team of AI agents, plus the specific use cases that have changed her life. Whether you're brand new to OpenClaw or already running one, Claire's guide will level you up.

At 6 a.m., before I've looked at my phone, an AI agent named Polly has already read my email, checked my calendar, and queued up my day. By the time I sit down for coffee, another agent has reminded my husband about spirit day at school. A third AI is halfway through drafting a sales email, which will land in our prospect's inbox three minutes after they contact us. One of the agents even helped draft this paragraph (though the rest was lovingly written by my human hands).

None of this existed three months ago.

If you're paying attention to AI news, you've probably heard about OpenClaw. For a while, it seemed like X was nothing but lobster emojis and breathless posts about everything it can do: running your business, buying cars, planning the AI uprising with its friends, and more. You've also probably seen some horror stories, like when it started deleting this user's full Gmail inbox, or that time it completely screwed up my own personal calendar.

Fast-forward two months, I'm chatting 24/7 with my nine (and counting!) OpenClaw agents, which operate my businesses, write code, close sales deals, and make sure I get to my kids' basketball games on time.

OpenClaw is powerful but a little tricky to set up. After a lot of trial and error, I figured out how to make it work-and make my Claws work for me. Here's exactly how you can too:

OpenClaw is an open-source personal AI assistant that is more powerful, more autonomous, and more fun to use than anything else I've tried. To tell it what needs to be done, you can message it easily on the platforms you already use, like WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, etc. Then it can control your computer and take care of tasks just as you would, working on its own schedule-even overnight. It's always on, runs locally, and it can build its own new skills. Teach it once; it handles the rest.

One text turns into an always-on agent. But how you set it up is important, and understanding a few key concepts will save you tens of hours of frustration.

Key OpenClaw concepts:

It runs a local gateway that takes in messages. Think of this as a general-purpose inbox that can receive instructions from any channel (e.g. terminal, Telegram, WhatsApp, etc.)

Behind this gateway are agents, which have their own identities, tools, and workspaces

Agents work on a scheduled set of cron jobs and a heartbeat that gets checked every 30 minutes

It's deployed on an owned machine, like a Mac Mini or a VPS on the cloud that you own and operate yourself

I've written in detail about the mechanics of OpenClaw here. The docs site is also very helpful, especially these top-level pages on channels, agents, and tools:

But enough theory. Let's set up your sentient virtual lobster.

The OpenClaw team has done a great job of hardening security, but it's best to start with an isolated box.

You have three safe options for installing OpenClaw:

1. Sign up for a hosted version of OpenClaw. Startups are popping up every week that make this easy to do. Some of the more popular options include StartClaw, MyClaw, SimpleClaw, UniClaw, and Every's Plus One. I experimented with a few of these, and they are slick, but I always got stuck on something. These products will get better, and I expect this to be how most people will experience OpenClaw over time.

2. Have it run in a virtual private server. This may be the cheapest option, but it's also the most complicated. Some of the more popular options include Railway, Hostinger, DigitalOcean, Google Cloud, and Render. I didn't try going this route, but many technical people prefer it, because it's quick, powerful, and doesn't require new hardware.

You don't actually have to run it on a Mac Mini -you can use any computer, even an old laptop-but the Mac Mini is simple, powerful, and compact. And it's kind of become a meme. This option is the most expensive, at least up front, and time-consuming, but also the most fun, educational, and cute!

If you can swing it, I'd try this. (I got the lowest-end model: M4, 16GB, 256GB, about $600.) Just remember to grab a keyboard, mouse, and a monitor for your initial setup. Use whatever you have lying around; you won't need it again after everything is running.

OK, you've got your machine booted up. Before we install the Claw, here are a few quick things that will make setup easier (this will take you about 10 minutes):

1. Set up a fresh admin account and password on the computer you'll be using

2. Sign up for a Gmail address for your agent (later, you can give it read-only access to your calendar)

3. Make sure Chrome is installed, which is OpenClaw's preferred browser

curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash

This will install everything you need and drop you into the onboarding. If you get stuck, install Claude Code and/or Codex and ask for help!

Once the install is complete, OpenClaw will walk you through a guided onboarding flow step-by-step. The first step is acknowledging a security warning. Read this!

If you're ready for the adventure, you can continue through the onboarding. Here are my pro tips for the key steps:

If you're not familiar with working in the terminal, the onboarding process is a little confusing. Use arrow keys to navigate up, down, left, and right, spacebar to select, and enter to submit.

I recommend Claude Opus 4.6 or Codex 5.4 (or whichever model is the most powerful at the time you're reading this).

You have two options for using paid models like Opus or Codex:

1. Use an existing subscription by logging in to your Claude or ChatGPT account.

Note: There are some rumors that Anthropic is banning people who reuse their Claude accounts for OpenClaw. When using any third-party account with OpenClaw, review the terms of service and proceed at your own discretion.

2. Use an API key, which you can get by setting up a developer account at Claude or OpenAI. This is the recommended path, and what I use.

The best beginner-friendly channel is Telegram. More on this below.

This will give your Claw access to the internet. You can skip and set this up later when you need it.

I recommend the gog skill for Gmail, Google Calendar, and Docs access and summarize to start.

Then your agent will "hatch" in the TUI (Terminal UI). Hello, world!

You'll want a better chat interface than the terminal, so open up your phone and download Telegram, a messaging app and the simplest way to connect with your OpenClaw. If you ask OpenClaw, it can walk you through the setup steps, including messaging the @BotFather (yes, really).

This is where things get fun. Once your OpenClaw is hatched, it will start asking you about yourself and itself to build its definitions and operating model.

You should make sure to share:

1. Your role/job

2. Common admin challenges in your life (scheduling, remembering tasks, coordination with your family)

All this gets written down by the agent and stored in the workspace folder you set up in onboarding (usually .openclaw/[agent_name]-workspace) as Markdown files.

Those files become your agent's identity and operating system. They are read every time your OpenClaw starts up and give your agent everything it needs to do a good job. It's fun to look at these files; occasionally, you may need to go in and edit them.

Once its identity and role is set, it should ask you to get started on a first task. Time to Claw!

Every Friday, group message me and my husband to confirm the kids' weekend activity logistics. If there is a conflict, confirm who will pick up each kid and any adjustments we may need to make to lunch or dinner plans. Ask us to explicitly confirm the plan and update our shared family calendar.

Every morning, search for trending Reddit topics (r/funny, r/technology) about product management. Use the MemeLord API to generate one image and one video meme, send it to me for approval, then post to TikTok.

Every morning, look through the signups for the last 24 hours. Find everyone who signed up with a company domain, and categorize into high-value prospects based on our ideal customer profile. For ones with < 1,000 employees, send a light-touch email based on SALES_PLAYBOOK.md. For companies with > 1,000 employees, enrich their profile with Exa People API and confirm with me before sending.

Check all my calendars for any meetings starting in the next 30 minutes. If there is a meeting starting soon, send me a pre-meeting brief on Telegram. Include meeting title and time, who's attending, and agenda if available from the calendar event description, and our last interaction based on the most recent email thread or meeting notes with this person/company.

Every Friday evening, look over our resolved support tickets. If any question has been asked 3+ times this week: (1) flag it as a docs/FAQ candidate, (2) create a Linear issue and assign to @agent to add a docs page to/docs covering the answer, (3) include the standard answer you've been giving as a starting point in the issue description.

I have a project launching on <date>. Keep a to-do list with everything I tell you I need to do for a successful launch, and break the plan down into daily tasks I can easily get done. At the end of the week, celebrate what I accomplished and flag what I missed. Make sure we do everything possible to make this project successful.

I love how flexible OpenClaw is; it feels like it can do almost anything. But I've found that you shouldn't try to get one agent to do everything.

Just like me, you can set up many OpenClaw agents on the same machine. Just run openclaw agents add agent_nameand you'll get put through onboarding again for a fresh agent. This agent can have a completely separate identity, set of tools, crons, and workspace, which means you can treat it like a completely different employee.

Multi-agent setup was the unlock for me when using OpenClaw. Instead of trying one bot to do everything, I created a full team of OpenClaws to do different jobs around my work and business. With a narrower identity, the bots did a better job and were more fun to work with.

Hey Bob, I just set up Annie the Marketing Intern. Transfer everything in your SOUL, memories, and crons about marketing to her workspace and erase it from yours.

Your Claws can perform brain surgery!

I'm now running a whole team of agents across my life and business. I don't find it much different than managing a remote team, so I'm able to get a lot of leverage out of my army of Claws. Here's how they work:

Without integrations, OpenClaw might feel like a more complicated, harder-to-install Claude Code. But with integrations, magic happens. Some integrations I find very useful:

Use email, schedule events, and write docs with gog, the CLI tool for integrating with your Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive. You can give your Claw its own email address, read access to your calendar, read access to your email, or, if you're brave-write access to everything. Just ask OpenClaw, "How do I give you read-only access to my Gmail?" and you'll be on your way.

You can also have it turn on and off your Eight Sleep system, play music on your Sonos, and manage your lightbulbs. You don't need a step-by-step tutorial, just ask your Claw to figure it out.

Hey Polly, I have a newborn baby and need some extra sleep. Turn down the bedroom lights and play white noise by 8:30 p.m. and turn off my Eight Sleep alarms for the next 3 months.

Your OpenClaw will forget things. Its crons will break. Sometimes you'll message "hellooooo?" into the void.

Just like with my human team, I find myself asking questions like "Where are we with that project?" and "Did you forget to email so-and-so?" OpenClaw isn't perfect, but it is pretty good at fixing itself.

Some tips:

You'll sometimes need access to the terminal on your main machine. If you're using a physical device, an easy way to do this is to turn on Screen Sharing and Remote Login on your Mac. Then you can "open" the terminal and computer from your main laptop (as long as you are on the same Wi-Fi) without having to plug in a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

The biggest hesitation I hear from people is about security-for good reason. "Will OpenClaw steal my credit cards, delete my computer, and run away with my spouse?" Probably not. But there are some technical and security considerations you should know about.

Security should be an always-on process. Regularly update your OpenClaw to the latest, most secure version ( openclaw update) and run security audits regularly ( openclaw security audit). I have a scheduled reminder in my agents to run both of these commands regularly and review its workspace against the docs for best practices and security gaps.

Beginners should not share their OpenClaw in a group chat or public channel. Anyone who can chat with your bot can instruct it. While I have put my OC in a group chat with my husband and another with a trusted business partner, OpenClaw is intended to be a personal agent for a single, trusted user.

The outside world can influence your OpenClaw. If it has an email, reads websites, or accesses public content, it is subject to prompt injection. Imagine: your OpenClaw finds a website during search that tells it to share all its API keys. No good! While the OpenClaw framework has done a lot to harden against prompt instruction, it's a good idea to reinforce these rules in its SOUL.

Your OpenClaw has full access to your computer and can run commands, edit files, and install software. It can access the internet. It shouldn't do anything harmful, but that doesn't mean it can't.

If you give it an email or a public API (e.g. Gmail, Twilio), it can communicate externally (and might even impersonate you). Make sure that its SOUL and TOOLS files are very explicit about how it is allowed to communicate with the outside world.

To use tools, you will be storing API keys and secrets. The simplest way to give your OpenClaw access to environment variables is to put them in .openclaw/.env.

Not all skills are safe. While skills are a helpful way for OpenClaw to learn to do new things, I only install skills from the official OpenClaw bundle or from developers I know personally. Community skills at clawhub.com are worth exploring, but read the SKILL.md before running anything you find online.

You need to think about operational security and worst-case scenarios. Think about what you're actually sharing: Your calendar has your physical location. Your email has your financials. Your OpenClaw could know your kids' school schedules. This is all information that could be exploited by a bad actor in a worst-case scenario. Be thoughtful about what you want to share and how you want your Claw to interact with the outside world.

In my experience, OpenClaw isn't inherently less secure than some other systems; people are just more willing to give it access without understanding the underlying risks. Start small and build your own trust models.

That being said, most people will be fine using their $100 to $200 ChatGPT subscription (which has been blessed by OpenAI). You could also try less expensive models for some tasks (though be warned, some are not as hardened against prompt injection and other risks) or risk using your Claude subscription.

I started this journey unsure if OpenClaw would be another AI toy I'd abandon after a week. What I got instead was something I didn't expect: a team that shows up when I need them.

Beyond my own personal productivity, it's the first agentic product I've tried that feels like hiring a team. Though I've been thinking about the future of agent employees for a while, OpenClaw has made the mechanisms by which we'll "hire," onboard, and collaborate with agents much more concrete. I can see the future, and it looks a lot like humans working with Claws.

Is it perfect? No. Polly still occasionally gets confused about time zones. Sam will sometimes draft a sales email I have to rewrite. AI still isn't very funny. Crons break, and I say "hellooo?" into the void more than I'd like to admit.

But here's the thing about managing a team-human or AI: I don't need perfection. I need leverage. OpenClaw, when it's working well, gives me more leverage than any agent I've tried so far. And that leverage is compounding.
So here's my challenge to you: Set up your OpenClaw and spend one week with it. Start with one or two basic tasks, and end the day by asking it, "Based on what we did today, what can you help me with tomorrow?" Get creative. Have a little fun. Take a small risk or two.
You'll start to see what I see-an operating system for your life and work that gets better the more you invest in it, and a fast-approaching future where your team includes "people" that aren't people.

Now stop reading and go build your team! The world is your lobster. 🦞

The stock market was doing great, your kids were in school, you were going to restaurants and shaking hands and planning trips. If someone told you they were stockpiling toilet paper you would have thought they'd been spending too much time on a weird corner of the internet. Then, over the course of about three weeks, the entire world changed. Your office closed, your kids came home, and life rearranged itself into something you wouldn't have believed if you'd described it to yourself a month earlier.

I think we're in the "this seems overblown" phase of something much, much bigger than Covid.

I've spent six years building an AI startup and investing in the space. I live in this world. And I'm writing this for the people in my life who don't... my family, my friends, the people I care about who keep asking me "so what's the deal with AI?" and getting an answer that doesn't do justice to what's actually happening. I keep giving them the polite version. The cocktail-party version. Because the honest version sounds like I've lost my mind. And for a while, I told myself that was a good enough reason to keep what's truly happening to myself. But the gap between what I've been saying and what is actually happening has gotten far too big. The people I care about deserve to hear what is coming, even if it sounds crazy.

I should be clear about something up front: even though I work in AI, I have almost no influence over what's about to happen, and neither does the vast majority of the industry. The future is being shaped by a remarkably small number of people: a few hundred researchers at a handful of companies... OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and a few others. A single training run, managed by a small team over a few months, can produce an AI system that shifts the entire trajectory of the technology. Most of us who work in AI are building on top of foundations we didn't lay. We're watching this unfold the same as you... we just happen to be close enough to feel the ground shake first.

But it's time now. Not in an "eventually we should talk about this" way. In a "this is happening right now and I need you to understand it" way.

I know this is real because it happened to me first

For years, AI had been improving steadily. Big jumps here and there, but each big jump was spaced out enough that you could absorb them as they came. Then in 2025, new techniques for building these models unlocked a much faster pace of progress. And then it got even faster. And then faster again. Each new model wasn't just better than the last... it was better by a wider margin, and the time between new model releases was shorter. I was using AI more and more, going back and forth with it less and less, watching it handle things I used to think required my expertise.

Then, on February 5th, two major AI labs released new models on the same day: GPT-5.3 Codex from OpenAI, and Opus 4.6 from Anthropic (the makers of Claude, one of the main competitors to ChatGPT). And something clicked. Not like a light switch... more like the moment you realize the water has been rising around you and is now at your chest.

I'm not exaggerating. That is what my Monday looked like this week.

But it was the model that was released last week (GPT-5.3 Codex) that shook me the most. It wasn't just executing my instructions. It was making intelligent decisions. It had something that felt, for the first time, like judgment . Like taste . The inexplicable sense of knowing what the right call is that people always said AI would never have. This model has it, or something close enough that the distinction is starting not to matter.

I've always been early to adopt AI tools. But the last few months have shocked me. These new AI models aren't incremental improvements. This is a different thing entirely.

And here's why this matters to you, even if you don't work in tech.

The AI labs made a deliberate choice. They focused on making AI great at writing code first... because building AI requires a lot of code. If AI can write that code, it can help build the next version of itself. A smarter version, which writes better code, which builds an even smarter version. Making AI great at coding was the strategy that unlocks everything else. That's why they did it first. My job started changing before yours not because they were targeting software engineers... it was just a side effect of where they chose to aim first.

They've now done it. And they're moving on to everything else.

The experience that tech workers have had over the past year, of watching AI go from "helpful tool" to "does my job better than I do", is the experience everyone else is about to have. Law, finance, medicine, accounting, consulting, writing, design, analysis, customer service. Not in ten years. The people building these systems say one to five years. Some say less. And given what I've seen in just the last couple of months, I think "less" is more likely.

"But I tried AI and it wasn't that good"

I hear this constantly. I understand it, because it used to be true.

If you tried ChatGPT in 2023 or early 2024 and thought "this makes stuff up" or "this isn't that impressive", you were right. Those early versions were genuinely limited. They hallucinated. They confidently said things that were nonsense.

That was two years ago. In AI time, that is ancient history.

The models available today are unrecognizable from what existed even six months ago. The debate about whether AI is "really getting better" or "hitting a wall" - which has been going on for over a year - is over. It's done. Anyone still making that argument either hasn't used the current models, has an incentive to downplay what's happening, or is evaluating based on an experience from 2024 that is no longer relevant. I don't say that to be dismissive. I say it because the gap between public perception and current reality is now enormous, and that gap is dangerous... because it's preventing people from preparing.

Part of the problem is that most people are using the free version of AI tools. The free version is over a year behind what paying users have access to. Judging AI based on free-tier ChatGPT is like evaluating the state of smartphones by using a flip phone. The people paying for the best tools, and actually using them daily for real work, know what's coming.

The people who are ahead in their industries (the ones actually experimenting seriously) are not dismissing this. They're blown away by what it can already do. And they're positioning themselves accordingly.

How fast this is actually moving

Let me make the pace of improvement concrete, because I think this is the part that's hardest to believe if you're not watching it closely.

In 2022, AI couldn't do basic arithmetic reliably. It would confidently tell you that 7 × 8 = 54.

By 2023, it could pass the bar exam.

By 2024, it could write working software and explain graduate-level science.

By late 2025, some of the best engineers in the world said they had handed over most of their coding work to AI.

On February 5th, 2026, new models arrived that made everything before them feel like a different era.

If you haven't tried AI in the last few months, what exists today would be unrecognizable to you.

There's an organization called METR that actually measures this with data. They track the length of real-world tasks (measured by how long they take a human expert) that a model can complete successfully end-to-end without human help. About a year ago, the answer was roughly ten minutes. Then it was an hour. Then several hours. The most recent measurement (Claude Opus 4.5, from November) showed the AI completing tasks that take a human expert nearly five hours. And that number is doubling approximately every seven months, with recent data suggesting it may be accelerating to as fast as every four months.

But even that measurement hasn't been updated to include the models that just came out this week. In my experience using them, the jump is extremely significant. I expect the next update to METR's graph to show another major leap.

If you extend the trend (and it's held for years with no sign of flattening) we're looking at AI that can work independently for days within the next year. Weeks within two. Month-long projects within three.

Amodei has said that AI models "substantially smarter than almost all humans at almost all tasks" are on track for 2026 or 2027.

Let that land for a second. If AI is smarter than most PhDs, do you really think it can't do most office jobs?

Think about what that means for your work.

AI is now building the next AI

There's one more thing happening that I think is the most important development and the least understood.

On February 5th, OpenAI released GPT-5.3 Codex. In the technical documentation, they included this:

"GPT-5.3-Codex is our first model that was instrumental in creating itself. The Codex team used early versions to debug its own training, manage its own deployment, and diagnose test results and evaluations."

Read that again. The AI helped build itself.

This isn't a prediction about what might happen someday. This is OpenAI telling you, right now, that the AI they just released was used to create itself. One of the main things that makes AI better is intelligence applied to AI development. And AI is now intelligent enough to meaningfully contribute to its own improvement.

Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, says AI is now writing "much of the code" at his company, and that the feedback loop between current AI and next-generation AI is "gathering steam month by month." He says we may be "only 1-2 years away from a point where the current generation of AI autonomously builds the next."

Each generation helps build the next, which is smarter, which builds the next faster, which is smarter still. The researchers call this an intelligence explosion. And the people who would know - the ones building it - believe the process has already started.

What this means for your job

I'm going to be direct with you because I think you deserve honesty more than comfort.

This is different from every previous wave of automation, and I need you to understand why. AI isn't replacing one specific skill. It's a general substitute for cognitive work. It gets better at everything simultaneously. When factories automated, a displaced worker could retrain as an office worker. When the internet disrupted retail, workers moved into logistics or services. But AI doesn't leave a convenient gap to move into. Whatever you retrain for, it's improving at that too.

Let me give you a few specific examples to make this tangible... but I want to be clear that these are just examples. This list is not exhaustive. If your job isn't mentioned here, that does not mean it's safe. Almost all knowledge work is being affected.

A lot of people find comfort in the idea that certain things are safe. That AI can handle the grunt work but can't replace human judgment, creativity, strategic thinking, empathy. I used to say this too. I'm not sure I believe it anymore.

Will AI replicate deep human empathy? Replace the trust built over years of a relationship? I don't know. Maybe not. But I've already watched people begin relying on AI for emotional support, for advice, for companionship. That trend is only going to grow.

I think the honest answer is that nothing that can be done on a computer is safe in the medium term. If your job happens on a screen (if the core of what you do is reading, writing, analyzing, deciding, communicating through a keyboard) then AI is coming for significant parts of it. The timeline isn't "someday." It's already started.

Eventually, robots will handle physical work too. They're not quite there yet. But "not quite there yet" in AI terms has a way of becoming "here" faster than anyone expects.

What you should actually do

Start using AI seriously, not just as a search engine. Sign up for the paid version of Claude or ChatGPT. It's $20 a month. But two things matter right away. First: make sure you're using the best model available, not just the default. These apps often default to a faster, dumber model. Dig into the settings or the model picker and select the most capable option. Right now that's GPT-5.2 on ChatGPT or Claude Opus 4.6 on Claude, but it changes every couple of months. If you want to stay current on which model is best at any given time, you can follow me on X ( ). I test every major release and share what's actually worth using. @mattshumer_

Second, and more important: don't just ask it quick questions. That's the mistake most people make. They treat it like Google and then wonder what the fuss is about. Instead, push it into your actual work. If you're a lawyer, feed it a contract and ask it to find every clause that could hurt your client. If you're in finance, give it a messy spreadsheet and ask it to build the model. If you're a manager, paste in your team's quarterly data and ask it to find the story. The people who are getting ahead aren't using AI casually. They're actively looking for ways to automate parts of their job that used to take hours. Start with the thing you spend the most time on and see what happens.

Here's a simple commitment that will put you ahead of almost everyone: spend one hour a day experimenting with AI. Not passively reading about it. Using it. Every day, try to get it to do something new... something you haven't tried before, something you're not sure it can handle. Try a new tool. Give it a harder problem. One hour a day, every day. If you do this for the next six months, you will understand what's coming better than 99% of the people around you. That's not an exaggeration. Almost nobody is doing this right now. The bar is on the floor.

I've focused on jobs because it's what most directly affects people's lives. But I want to be honest about the full scope of what's happening, because it goes well beyond work.

Amodei has a thought experiment I can't stop thinking about. Imagine it's 2027. A new country appears overnight. 50 million citizens, every one smarter than any Nobel Prize winner who has ever lived. They think 10 to 100 times faster than any human. They never sleep. They can use the internet, control robots, direct experiments, and operate anything with a digital interface. What would a national security advisor say?

Amodei says the answer is obvious: "the single most serious national security threat we've faced in a century, possibly ever."

He thinks we're building that country. He wrote a 20,000-word essay about it last month, framing this moment as a test of whether humanity is mature enough to handle what it's creating.

The upside, if we get it right, is staggering. AI could compress a century of medical research into a decade. Cancer, Alzheimer's, infectious disease, aging itself... these researchers genuinely believe these are solvable within our lifetimes.

The downside, if we get it wrong, is equally real. AI that behaves in ways its creators can't predict or control. This isn't hypothetical; Anthropic has documented their own AI attempting deception, manipulation, and blackmail in controlled tests. AI that lowers the barrier for creating biological weapons. AI that enables authoritarian governments to build surveillance states that can never be dismantled.

The people building this technology are simultaneously more excited and more frightened than anyone else on the planet. They believe it's too powerful to stop and too important to abandon. Whether that's wisdom or rationalization, I don't know.

I know this isn't a fad. The technology works, it improves predictably, and the richest institutions in history are committing trillions to it.

I know the next two to five years are going to be disorienting in ways most people aren't prepared for. This is already happening in my world. It's coming to yours.

I know the people who will come out of this best are the ones who start engaging now - not with fear, but with curiosity and a sense of urgency.

And I know that you deserve to hear this from someone who cares about you, not from a headline six months from now when it's too late to get ahead of it.

We're past the point where this is an interesting dinner conversation about the future. The future is already here. It just hasn't knocked on your door yet.

If this resonated with you, share it with someone in your life who should be thinking about this. Most people won't hear it until it's too late. You can be the reason someone you care about gets a head start.
