- Responding to the "Meta uses OpenClaw" rumor, Nat Friedman clarified that Muse was built from scratch but is heavily inspired by OpenClaw as a product.
- After using OpenClaw in January, he bought hundreds of Mac minis for the MSL team, and many fell in love with personal agents.
- He credits @steipete's harness as pioneering and says Muse aims to be an OpenClaw-like agent that is safe, secure, easy to use, and scalable to billions.
