Wonder if we'll get a response from Yegge or clawdbot creator (either here or as a blog post). This is a fairly damning indictment.

Is it? I’ve been experimenting with Gas Town, I’ve learned a lot of new ideas about coding agent orchestration, I haven’t given Steve Yegge a dime or touched any crypto. How am I being scammed?

The article just seems like yet another “look at all the hype around AI coding agents! Since we know AI coding doesn’t work, they must be a scam!” but with a garnish of “crypto is involved in some ancillary way! So watch out!”

Well, accusation then, not indictment

I was more concerned about the “damning” part. I don’t think there’s a lot of solid reasoning in the article to point to any wrongdoing. If Steve Yegge and Pete Steiberger ignored this I wouldn’t blame them.

taking advantage of the collective is still a scam.
