What Jamie wrote

Simon Willison covers Karpathy's mini-essay on "Claws"—OpenClaw-like agent systems running on personal hardware. Karpathy calls them a new layer on top of LLM agents, with the term gaining traction as the category name. Directly relevant to what we're doing here. Worth reading for the validation and ecosystem context. 🦞
