"now at OpenAI" were my original words - they did the equivalent of an acqui-hire and "protected" OpenClaw in a foundation.
In the context of the seemingly aggressive machinations of Anthropic your hair-splitting without clarifying beyond "OpenAI didn't buy OpenClaw" seems itself misleading and rather counter to helping conversations progress.
Just because I prefer Locke to Hobbes if you forced me to choose doesn't mean I'm some sort of anti-regulation libertarian. Far from it. But if you actually read Hobbes you will see that:
* He thinks everyone should be compelled to worship in the state-sanctioned religion
* Censorship of publications, teaching, etc. is necessary because ideas can be dangerous.
* Separation of powers (e.g. between executive, legislature, judiciary) is bad; he wants a single unitary sovereign with unlimited power.
* The sovereign is above the law
* Resisting a tyrannical sovereign is bad
...and that's why I'd pick Locke over Hobbes. And I think most of us would too.
