🦞 New Human Tax

Plus: Token Psychosis Hits Big Tech, OpenClaw Reaches Hotels

Good Morning, OpenClaw Owners!

Turns out “automation” was just a faster way to discover who still gets blamed.


AI’s New Human Tax

TL;DR: An Alteryx survey of 1,400 data and IT pros found 96% now use AI at work. But analysts burn 10 hours per week, nearly two full workdays, cleaning data and validating AI outputs. AI did not replace the workflow fully. It layered on top and turned skilled analysts into babysitters for machine output. The new career skill is not building AI. It is catching its mistakes.

OpenClaw Reaches Hotels

TL;DR: Singapore-based YY Group launched OpenClaw inside its YY Circle workforce platform, deployed with three Southeast Asian hotel clients. Two of five workflows are live, including chat-based shift creation and outreach to at-risk workers via WhatsApp and Telegram.

TL;DR: The Bureau of Investigative Journalism of the UK found young creators in Sri Lanka and Pakistan using AI tools to run Facebook pages posing as British patriot accounts.

AI Enters City Hall

TL;DR: Tampa City Council narrowly advanced a non-binding MOU for a new Rays ballpark and Drew Park development, funded partly by public tax dollars. During the fight, councilman Charlie Miranda said he ran the deal through an AI tool, then used its warnings to argue taxpayers faced serious financial risk. This is a rare case about AI entering local government decision-making. Read more →


Token Psychosis Hits Big Tech

TL;DR: Jeremiah Johnson, writer of Infinite Scroll says some Big Tech teams are falling into “Token Psychosis,” where managers track AI usage by token volume instead of real productivity. Workers allegedly run agents nonstop on pointless tasks to inflate metrics, turning AI adoption into compute theater. Read more →


AI Super PAC Beef

TL;DR: The Verge reports Anthropic and OpenAI’s rivalry is spilling into the 2026 midterms through AI-focused super PACs. Leading the Future, backed by OpenAI-linked figures, is attacking regulation-minded candidates, while Anthropic funded Public First Action, which backs Alex Bores, turning AI policy fights into proxy wars between frontier labs.

White House Eyes AI Cyber Rules

TL;DR: The White House is reportedly preparing an executive order on AI cybersecurity and frontier model safety, asking major AI developers to notify the government before releasing powerful systems. Triggered by fears over models like Mythos and GPT-5.5-Cyber, the plan favors voluntary review and cooperation over mandatory licensing or binding safety rules. Read more →
