AMD has published a guide for running OpenClaw locally on Windows through two distinct hardware paths it calls “RyzenClaw” and “RadeonClaw,” both built around its own silicon and designed to keep AI agent workloads off the cloud entirely. The push is part of AMD’s broader “Agent Computer” narrative, where it argues that not every AI workload belongs in a data center, people and businesses want control over their data, affordable always-on AI without usage limits, and the confidence that their models are running locally rather than on someone else’s infrastructure. The setup runs through WSL2 with LM Studio handling local LLM inference via llama.cpp, and supports Memory.md through local embeddings, no cloud dependency required. AMD says the environment can be configured in under an hour, targeting early adopters and developers experimenting with personal AI agents.

Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Fowl Language Tshirt. Geese are notorious for their heavy use of profanity. Grover Cleveland had a pet goose that had to be removed from his funeral because it wouldn't stop saying the F word. And the C word. That goose loved to swear.https://collabs.shop/rhfgw7

I don't think we'll ever know why.

What’s at stake in the fight against age verification is not just a single bill in a single state. It’s about whether “protecting children” becomes a legal pretext for embedding government control online that reinforces specific moral and religious worldviews. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/rep-finke-was-right-age-gating-isnt-about-kids-its-about-control

📰 "Prezes Palantir wygłasza szokujące wyznanie dotyczące osłabiania władzy demokratycznejDyrektor generalny firmy Palantir, Alex Karp, uważa, że jego technologia sztucznej inteligencji osłabi wpływ „wykształconych, często kobiet, które w większości głosują na Demokratów”, zwiększając jednocześnie znaczenie mężczyzn z klasy robotniczej.„Technologia ta osłabia pozycję wyborców z wykształceniem humanistycznym – w większości popierających Demokratów – i zmniejsza ich siłę ekonomiczną. Zwiększa natomiast siłę ekonomiczną wyborców z wykształceniem zawodowym, należących do klasy robotniczej, często mężczyzn” – powiedział Karp w czwartkowym wywiadzie dla CNBC. „Te zakłócenia wpłyną więc na każdy aspekt naszego społeczeństwa. Aby to zadziałało, musimy dojść do porozumienia co do tego, co zamierzamy zrobić z tą technologią; jak wyjaśnimy to ludziom, którzy prawdopodobnie będą mieli gorsze i mniej interesujące miejsca pracy”.Brzmi to, jak bezpośrednia, długoterminowa propozycja skierowana do Partii Republikańskiej przez prezesa, którego firma technologiczna ma już liczne kontrakty rządowe i jest głęboko zakorzeniona w Pentagonie. Przesłanie Karpa jest głośne i jasne: moja technologia odbierze kapitał polityczny jednemu z waszych największych wrogów – liberalnym kobietom z wyższym wykształceniem – i da jednej z waszych ulubionych grup demograficznych, którą lubicie patronować – mężczyznom z klasy robotniczej – więcej władzy politycznej, którą będą mogli przekazać wam. Dostosowuje swoją technologię zarówno do strategii politycznej Partii Republikańskiej, jak i do szerszej wojny kulturowej skoncentrowanej na mężczyznach, którą prawica toczy już od prawie dziesięciu lat. A w jaki sposób jego technologia miałaby zaszkodzić wyłącznie demokratycznym kobietom?"Całość [EN]:https://newrepublic.com/post/207693/palantir-ceo-karp-disrupting-democratic-power #Palantir #AI #USA #manipulacja #społeczeństwo #liberalizm #kobiety #wykształcenie

I was send a calendar invitation for an interview to the address of the company I'm working for. I didn't know for sure what it was, so I replied to ask. This was the reply:I am extremely sorry, I was testing AI agent to automatically source candidates and schedule interviews, with their permission, it has gone crazy.sigh
