Description
Creator of OpenClaw, the third-party agentic harness that became the primary target of Anthropic's April 4, 2026 subscription ban. Joined OpenAI weeks before the ban announcement, a detail the community read as contextually relevant to the ban's timing. Public response to the ban: 'First they copy some popular features into their closed harness, then they lock out open source.' With Dave Morin (OpenClaw board member), negotiated directly with Anthropic to delay enforcement by one week.
