Lex Fridman Podcast · #491 – OpenClaw: The Viral AI Agent that Broke the Internet – Peter Steinberger · 12 Feb 2026 podcast

And you have like a bad agent in default that doesn't help them at all.

And then they explore your code base, which is like a pure mess with like weird naming.

And then people complain that the agent's not good.

Like you try to do the same if you have no clue about a code base and you go in.

So yeah, maybe it's a little bit of empathy.

Or at least it helps to create better prompts.

Because those things know pretty much everything, and everything is just a question away.

It's just often very hard to know what's a question to ask.

you know I feel also like this project was possibly because I spent an ungodly time over the year to play and to learn and to build little things and every step of the way I got better the agents got better my understanding of how everything works got better I could definitely not

had this level of output even a few months ago like it really was like a compounding effect of all the time i put into it and i i didn't do much else this year other than really focusing on on building and inspiring i mean i did a whole bunch of conference talks

There's a whole bunch of people who try to automate the whole thing.

yeah i don't think that works maybe a version of that works but that's kind of like in the 70s when we had the waterfall model of software development i even though really right i started out i built a very minimal version i played with it i i need to understand how it works how it feels and then it gives me new ideas

I could not have planned this out in my head and then put it into some orchestrator and then something comes out.

To me, it's much more... My idea, what it will become, evolves as I build it and as I play with it and as I try out stuff.

So people who try to use things like Gastown or all these other orchestrators where they want to automate the whole thing, I feel if you do that, it misses...

style, love, that human touch.

I don't think you can automate that away so quickly.

And then maybe one builds a larger feature.

Maybe with one I explore some idea I'm unsure about.

Maybe two, three are fixing little bugs or writing documentation.
