So in mid-March he bought four Mac Minis (“I got lawyer money,” he said dryly), parked them under his office desk and installed OpenClaw on all of them. He set up five agents. One is an “orchestrator” that logs into his online legal software. At first, it didn’t know what to look for or what to do, so the agent would text Bell via the chat app Discord to ask for instructions.

The short version: the doomers are counting jobs. I think they’re measuring the wrong thing. The companies pulling ahead are the ones pointing AI inward, building systems that capture their people’s judgment, while everyone else lets their best thinking drain into tools they don’t own.
