#AtmosphereConf

Four months ago we asked: what if technology didn't feel so… hollow?
Last night, we gathered the people who've been asking the same question — and launched what comes next.

OpenClaw Agents Can Be Guilt-Tripped Into Self-Sabotage In a controlled experiment, OpenClaw agents proved prone to panic and vulnerable to manipulation. They even disabled their own functionality when gaslit by humans.

Say it again now, "LLMs shouldn't be used to make security decisions!"

We spent a decade being told the open web was dead. Turns out it was just waiting for the tooling to catch up. @masnick.com nails it: AI coding agents are the new "view source." Open protocols make sure you actually own what you build.

Ethics Have Become Optional in Big Tech. We Can Do Better. (with Alex Komoroske) YouTube video by revolution.social with @rabble

A hollow thing: after you do it, you feel regret.
A resonant thing: after you do it, you feel nourished.

Modern tech optimizes for hollow. AI is about to supercharge it.

Just chatted with @rabble.nz about what the alternative looks like on @revolution.social .

Alex Komoroske entered the tech industry to build tools that help people thrive.

This week, @rabble.nz and @komorama.bsky.social discuss how today’s industry has shifted away from that ideal and toward growth targets and KPIs.

Full episode, out now.

@komorama.bsky.social

Thank you @foundercoach.bsky.social for having me!

If people don't believe the hopeful future is possible, they won't even try to build it.

Enjoyed talking with @foundercoach.bsky.social about why I'm optimistic about technology as a force for good—and deeply skeptical about tech's default power dynamics.
