A bit OT but why is moltbot so much more popular than the many personal agents that have been around for a while?

hard to do "credit assignment", i think network effects go brrrrrr. karpathy tweeted about it, david sacks picked it up, macstories wrote it up. suddenly ppl were posting screenshots of their macmini setups on x and ppl got major FOMO watching their feeds. also peter steinberger tweets a lot and is prolific otherwise in terms posting about agentic coding (since he does it a lot)

its basically claude with hands, and self-hosting/open source are both a combo a lot of techies like. it also has a ton of integrations.

will it be important in 6 months? i dunno. i tried it briefly, but it burns tokens like a mofo so I turned it off. im also worried about security implications.
