Claude will build your Faceless YouTube Channel for you with these 7 prompts.
Prompt 1 — Niche & Positioning
"Analyze the top 10 YouTube niches with high CPM, low competition, and strong evergreen demand. For each, give me: average CPM, content difficulty, monetization paths beyond AdSense, and a 3-word channel concept."
What this gives you: A data-backed niche decision instead of guessing.
Prompt 2 — Channel Identity
"I'm starting a YouTube channel about [NICHE]. Create a full channel identity: channel name (5 options), tagline, target audience persona, content pillars (4), and a 'unique mechanism' that differentiates me from existing creators."
What this gives you: A brand, not just a channel.
Prompt 3 — 90-Day Content Roadmap
"Build a 90-day YouTube content calendar for a new channel in [NICHE]. Include: 12 video titles optimized for search, upload schedule, which videos to prioritize for SEO vs. virality, and a content progression that builds authority over time."
What this gives you: A publishing plan that compounds over time.
Prompt 4 — Video Script System
"Write a full YouTube script for '[VIDEO TITLE]'. Use this structure: hook (first 30 seconds designed to stop scrolling), problem agitation, solution walkthrough, 3 key insights, CTA, and an end screen tease for the next video. Tone: [conversational/authoritative/etc.]"
What this gives you: Scripts that retain viewers and drive watch time.
Prompt 5 — SEO & Thumbnail Strategy
"For the video '[TITLE]', give me: 3 thumbnail concepts with text overlay copy, a YouTube SEO-optimized title (under 60 chars), description (with timestamps, keywords, links), and 10 tags. Also suggest A/B test variations for the thumbnail."
What this gives you: Click-through rate and discoverability baked in before you publish.
Prompt 6 — Monetization Stack
"I have a YouTube channel in [NICHE] with [X] subscribers. Build me a full monetization roadmap beyond AdSense: affiliate opportunities, digital product ideas, sponsorship pitch template, and a lead magnet I can offer to build an email list from my audience."
What this gives you: Multiple income streams so you're not dependent on ad revenue.
Prompt 7 — Growth & Repurposing Engine
"Take this YouTube video script/transcript and repurpose it into: a Twitter/X thread, a LinkedIn post, 3 YouTube Shorts hooks, an email newsletter, and a Pinterest description. Also suggest which platforms to prioritize based on my niche."
What this gives you: One video → 7+ pieces of content, multiplying your reach without extra work.

Prison four times. Armed robbery. Meth addiction. Suicidal at 38.
Today his bread is in every grocery store in America and sold for $275 million.
A four-time convicted felon who spent 15 years behind bars built the number one organic bread brand in the country.
Dave Dahl was 42 years old.
Standing at the Portland Farmers Market on a summer morning in August 2005.
Behind a folding table.
A few dozen loaves of bread nobody had ever heard of.
He'd been out of prison for eight months.
Before that, Dave had spent most of his adult life in a cell.
Four separate prison sentences. Fifteen years total.
Armed robbery. Burglary. Drug dealing. Assault.
Meth addiction that consumed everything.
He grew up in Portland, Oregon.
His father, Jim Dahl, owned a small bakery called NatureBake. Founded in 1955.
A Seventh-day Adventist family making organic, vegan, whole-grain bread before organic was even a word people used.
Dave started working in the bakery at 9 years old.
He hated it.
By his teens, he was experimenting with marijuana, cocaine, LSD, alcohol.
By his late teens, methamphetamine.
He dropped out of high school in 1980.
In 1987, at 24 years old, Dave was arrested for burglarizing a house.
His first prison sentence.
He got out in 1989.
His brother Glenn offered him a job at the family bakery.
Dave took it. Then quit. Moved to Massachusetts.
Got arrested again. Armed robbery.
More prison.
He got out. Went back to Portland. Got arrested again.
In 1997, five separate arrests across three Oregon counties. All meth-related.
Drug distribution. Property crimes to fund the habit.
He was sent to Snake River Correctional Institution near Ontario, Oregon.
By now, Dave Dahl had spent more of his adult life inside prison walls than outside of them.
Everyone said the same thing.
"He's a career criminal."
"Some people can't be saved."
"He'll die in prison or on the streets."
"Four-time loser. That's who he is."
He didn't listen.
Here's what Dave knew that everyone else missed:
Rock bottom isn't the end. It's the foundation.
At 38 years old, sitting in his cell at Snake River, Dave hit the lowest point of his life.
Suicidal. Trying to figure out a way to end it.
He wrote a request to the prison wardens. Inmates call it a "kite."
He was begging for help.
The prison psychiatrist prescribed antidepressants.
Something shifted.
For the first time in decades, the fog lifted.
Dave started thinking clearly. He picked up a guitar. Started learning faster than he ever had.
He enrolled in a vocational program for computer-aided drafting and design.
He didn't just pass the course.
He excelled so fast that he started teaching it to other inmates.
A man who had been written off as hopeless was now teaching other prisoners how to build something.
So he made a promise to himself.
He was going back to the family bakery.
Not as the screwup brother who needed a favor.
As someone who could actually contribute.
On December 27, 2004, Dave Dahl walked out of prison for the last time.
He was 41 years old.
He had $0. No resume. No reputation.
Just a brother named Glenn who was willing to give him one more chance.
Glenn hired him at $12 an hour.
Dave threw himself into the work.
Seeds. Whole grains. Organic ingredients.
Blue cornmeal crusts. Sunflower seeds. Flax. Pumpkin. Sesame.
He took what he'd learned in drafting class — precision, patience, iteration — and applied it to bread recipes.
Experimented obsessively.
He created loaves so packed with seeds they looked like they'd been rolled through a bird feeder.
He worked 100-hour weeks.
But here's the part nobody talks about.
NatureBake was a small operation.
A family bakery that had been around since 1955 but had never broken out.
Dave wasn't inheriting a goldmine.
He was inheriting a survival business in a commodity industry where Wonder Bread, Nature's Own, Sara Lee, and Pepperidge Farm dominated every shelf in every store from Safeway to Albertsons.
His brother Glenn was skeptical.
The sales manager, Richard Shymanski, who'd been with the company for decades, pushed back.
Dave wanted full production shifts dedicated to his new breads.
He wanted shelf space taken from the existing product line.
A convicted felon with zero business experience demanding that a 50-year-old bakery bet its future on his weird seed bread.
Nobody thought it would work.
Dave didn't care.
In August 2005, he brought his first four bread varieties to the Portland Farmers Market Summer Loaves Festival.
Blues Bread, rolled in organic blue cornmeal.
Good Seed, packed with flax and sunflower seeds.
Rockin' Rye.
And the original Killer Bread.
They sold out.
That's when everything changed.
Local Portland grocers started calling. They wanted to carry the bread.
Fred Meyer, the biggest grocery chain in the Pacific Northwest, said no.
Dave kept pushing.
A year later, Fred Meyer reversed course and put Dave's Killer Bread on their shelves.
By 2009, Costco picked up the brand along the I-5 corridor from Seattle to Sacramento.
By 2010, 30 employees became 190.
New Seasons Market, Whole Foods, and independent grocers across the Pacific Northwest couldn't keep it on the shelves.
By 2012, 280 employees.
Annual sales exploded from $3 million to $53 million.
But Dave wasn't done.
He did something his own marketing team told him was insane.
He put his criminal record on the packaging.
Right on the bread bag.
A cartoon of himself with long hair and a mustache, playing guitar.
And on the back, his story: "I was a four-time loser before I realized I was in the wrong game."
The marketing team tried to stop him.
Dave fired them.
He refused to hide.
Every loaf carried the story of a man who'd been in prison four times and found something worth building.
Consumers didn't just accept it.
They loved it.
The "BreadHead Nation" grew to over 100,000 passionate followers.
Then he did something else that changed the industry.
He started hiring ex-convicts.
Not as a PR stunt.
As a core business practice.
One-third of the company's 300 employees had criminal records.
Dave knew what it felt like to come out of prison with nothing.
No one willing to give you a shot.
He gave them shots.
In December 2012, New York private equity firm Goode Partners purchased a 50% stake.
They brought in CEO John Tucker to expand nationally.
Sales increased 130%.
Distribution expanded from 11 states to all 50.
Inc. Magazine named Dave's Killer Bread one of the 5,000 fastest-growing companies in America.
By 2015, annual revenue hit $160 million to $170 million.
A 32% compound growth rate over three years.
Retail sales up 168% in three years.
Dave's Killer Bread had become the number one organic bread in America.
In August 2015, Flowers Foods — one of the largest bakery companies in the United States, with $3.75 billion in annual sales — acquired Dave's Killer Bread for $275 million in cash.
Dave Dahl, the four-time convicted felon who'd been suicidal in a prison cell a decade earlier, walked away a multimillionaire.
Today, Dave's Killer Bread sells over 30 product varieties in every major grocery chain in the country.
Costco. Whole Foods. Kroger. Safeway. Walmart. Target.
Every loaf USDA Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified.
It remains the best-selling organic bread in America.
The company's Second Chance Employment program has helped thousands of formerly incarcerated people find work.
All because a 42-year-old ex-con who spent 15 years in prison refused to let his worst chapter be his last chapter.
He turned a meth addiction into a bread empire.
He turned a $12-an-hour bakery job into a $275 million acquisition.
He turned a criminal record into a brand story that made people believe in second chances.
He proved that your past doesn't get to decide your future.
Someone else already did.
What are YOU using as an excuse not to start?
What mistake from your past are you letting define your future?
What second chance are you too afraid to take?
Dave Dahl was a meth addict for two decades.
He was imprisoned four times.
He was suicidal at 38.
He was hired at $12 an hour at age 41.
He brought bread to a farmers market at 42.
He built the number one organic bread brand in America.
His company sold for $275 million.
Because he understood something most people don't.
Your worst chapter doesn't have to be your final chapter.
The thing that broke you can be the thing that builds you.
The people who've been through the most are often the ones willing to work the hardest.
Stop letting your past hold you hostage.
Start thinking like Dave Dahl.
Show up anyway. Build something anyway. Bet on yourself even when nobody else will.
And never let anyone tell you that your worst years disqualify you from your best ones.
Sometimes the most powerful brands are built by the most unlikely people.
Sometimes the greatest comebacks start in the places nobody would ever think to look.
Because when you've already lost everything, you've got nothing left to protect and everything left to prove.
Don't quit.

OpenClaw Setup Guide
## What Even IS OpenClaw??
Okay so like, imagine having your own personal AI assistant that's basically like Jarvis from Iron Man, except it's a LOBSTER. Yeah, you heard that right. A LOBSTER. 🦞
OpenClaw (which used to be called Clawdbot because lobsters have claws, get it?) is this INSANE program that lets you:
- Talk to AI through WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, and like a MILLION other apps
- Make it do stuff on your computer like open programs, search the web, and basically anything
- Have it remember stuff about you so it gets smarter over time
- Run it on YOUR computer so your data stays private (not on some weird server somewhere)
It's basically like having a super smart robot friend that lives in your computer and can help you with literally ANYTHING. My mind was BLOWN when I first set this up.
---
## Before We Start - What You Need (The Boring But Important Part)
Okay so before we dive in, you need a few things. Don't worry, I'll explain EVERYTHING:
### 1. A Computer
You need one of these:
- **Mac** (the Apple computer thing)
- **Windows** (the normal PC most people have)
- **Linux** (this is like the super nerdy computer thing but it's actually really cool)
### 2. Node.js (Version 22 or Higher)
Now you're probably like "what the heck is Node.js??" Don't worry, I was confused too!
**What is Node.js?** It's basically a thing that lets your computer run JavaScript programs. JavaScript is a programming language (like how English is a language but for computers). OpenClaw is built with JavaScript, so we need Node.js to make it work.
**How to check if you have it:**
Open your Terminal (on Mac) or Command Prompt (on Windows)
- **Mac**: Press Command + Space, type "Terminal", hit Enter
- **Windows**: Press Windows key, type "cmd", hit Enter
Type this and press Enter: `node --version`
If you see something like `v22.1.0` or any number that starts with 22 or higher, YOU'RE GOOD!
If it says "command not found" or shows a number lower than 22, you need to install it
**How to install Node.js if you don't have it:**
Go to https://nodejs.org
Download the version that says "LTS" (that means Long Term Support, which is the stable one)
Run the installer (just click Next a bunch of times, it's pretty easy)
Check again with `node --version` to make sure it worked
### 3. An AI Service Account
OpenClaw needs to talk to an AI service to actually be smart. You need EITHER:
**Option A: Anthropic (Claude)**
- This is my FAVORITE because Claude is super smart
- You need a Claude account (Pro or Max is better but not required)
- Go to https://www.anthropic.com/
- Sign up and get an API key (I'll show you how later)
**Option B: OpenAI (ChatGPT)**
- This works too and lots of people use it
- You need an OpenAI account
- Go to https://openai.com/
- Sign up and get an API key
**PRO TIP**: Claude Opus 4.5 is REALLY good for this, so if you can afford it, I'd recommend getting Claude Pro or Max!
### 4. About 30 Minutes of Your Time
This setup isn't SUPER fast but it's not hard either. Just follow along step by step!
---
## PART 1: Installing OpenClaw (The Easy Part!)
Alright, let's DO THIS! 🚀
### Step 1: Open Your Terminal/Command Prompt
I already explained how to do this above, but here it is again:
- **Mac**: Command + Space, type "Terminal"
- **Windows**: Windows key, type "cmd" or "PowerShell"
- **Linux**: You probably already know how to do this lol
### Step 2: Install OpenClaw
Now here's where the MAGIC happens. We're gonna use a one-line installer that does EVERYTHING for you!
**For Mac or Linux, type this EXACTLY:**
```bash
curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/instal... | bash
```
**For Windows (use PowerShell), type this:**
```powershell
iwr -useb https://openclaw.ai/instal... | iex
```
### What's Happening Here?
Let me break down that weird command because I was SO confused at first:
- `curl -fsSL` = This is a program that downloads stuff from the internet
- `https://openclaw.ai/instal... = This is the website address where the installer lives
- `| bash` = This means "take what we just downloaded and run it"
So basically, we're downloading the installer and running it all in one command. Pretty cool, right?
### Step 3: Wait For It To Install
Now you'll see a BUNCH of text scrolling by. Don't freak out! This is normal. The installer is:
Downloading OpenClaw
Installing all the extra stuff it needs (called "dependencies")
Setting everything up
Maybe installing Node.js if you didn't have it
This takes like 2-5 minutes depending on your internet speed.
### Step 4: Check If It Worked
Once it's done, type this:
```bash
openclaw --version
```
If you see a version number (like `v2025.2.14` or something), IT WORKED! 🎉
If you see "command not found", something went wrong. Try closing your terminal and opening a new one, then try again.

## PART 2: The Onboarding Wizard (This Is Where It Gets FUN!)
Okay so now we have OpenClaw installed, but it doesn't know anything about YOU yet or how to connect to AI services. This is where the onboarding wizard comes in!
### Step 1: Start The Wizard
Type this command:
```bash
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
```
**What does --install-daemon mean?**
A "daemon" is basically a program that runs in the background all the time. It's like having OpenClaw always ready to help you, even if you close the terminal!
### Step 2: Follow The Wizard
Now the wizard is going to ask you a BUNCH of questions. I'll go through each one:
#### Question 1: "What should we call your assistant?"
You can name it ANYTHING you want! Some cool ideas:
- Jarvis (like Iron Man)
- Alfred (like Batman)
- Cortana (like Halo)
- Or make up your own! I named mine "Lobster Larry" because I thought it was funny lol
Just type the name and press Enter.
#### Question 2: "Which AI provider do you want to use?"
This is asking which AI service you want to connect to. Use your arrow keys to select either:
- **Anthropic** (if you have Claude)
- **OpenAI** (if you have ChatGPT)
Press Enter when you've selected one.
#### Question 3: "Enter your API key"
Okay so this is SUPER important. An API key is like a secret password that lets OpenClaw talk to the AI service.
**How to get your API key:**
**For Anthropic/Claude:**
Go to https://console.anthropic....
Sign in to your account
Click on "API Keys" in the menu
Click "Create Key"
Copy the key (it looks like a bunch of random letters and numbers)
Paste it into the terminal (you won't see it appear but trust me it's there)
Press Enter
**For OpenAI:**
Go to https://platform.openai.co...
Sign in
Click "Create new secret key"
Copy it and paste it into the terminal
Press Enter
**IMPORTANT**: Keep this key SECRET! Don't share it with anyone or post it online!
#### Question 4: "Which model do you want to use?"
This is asking which specific AI brain you want to use. The wizard will show you options like:
- `claude-opus-4.5` (the REALLY smart one, costs more)
- `claude-sonnet-4.5` (pretty smart, cheaper)
- `gpt-4` (OpenAI's smart one)
- And more...
Use arrow keys to pick one. I recommend Claude Opus 4.5 if you can!
#### Question 5: "Do you want to set up messaging channels?"
This is asking if you want to connect OpenClaw to stuff like WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, etc.
You can say:
- **Yes** - if you want to chat with it through messaging apps (recommended!)
- **No** - if you just want to use the web interface for now (you can add channels later)
If you say yes, it'll ask you more questions about which channels you want.
#### Question 6: "Which channels do you want to set up?"
If you chose to set up channels, you'll see a list like:
- WhatsApp
- Telegram
- Discord
- Slack
- And more...
Use Space bar to select the ones you want, then press Enter.
**NOTE**: Some channels need extra setup. I'll explain each one in detail later!
#### Question 7: "Do you want to install the gateway daemon?"
Say **YES** to this! The daemon makes OpenClaw run in the background all the time, so it's always ready.
Press Enter and it'll set everything up!
### Step 3: Wait For Setup To Finish
The wizard will now:
Create config files
Set up the gateway (the thing that controls everything)
Start the daemon
Do some final checks
This takes like 30 seconds.
---
## PART 3: Understanding What Just Happened
Okay so before we continue, let me explain what OpenClaw actually created on your computer:
### The OpenClaw Home Folder
OpenClaw created a folder called `.openclaw` in your home directory. The dot at the beginning makes it hidden (sneaky!).
**Where is it?**
- **Mac/Linux**: `/home/yourusername/.openclaw`
- **Windows**: `C:Usersyourusername.openclaw`
**What's inside?**
- `openclaw.json` - The config file (all your settings)
- `credentials/` - Your API keys and channel logins
- `workspace/` - Where OpenClaw saves stuff
- `logs/` - Records of what OpenClaw does
### The Gateway
The gateway is like the control center for OpenClaw. It's a program that runs on your computer and manages everything:
- Talking to AI services
- Handling messages from different channels
- Running commands
- Keeping everything organized
It runs on port 18789 (that's like a specific door on your computer).
---
## PART 4: Checking If Everything Works
Let's make sure everything is running properly!
### Step 1: Check Gateway Status
Type this:
```bash
openclaw gateway status
```
You should see something like:
```
✓ Gateway is running
✓ Port: 18789
✓ Status: healthy
```
If it says "not running", type:
```bash
openclaw gateway start
```
### Step 2: Open The Dashboard
This is SO COOL. OpenClaw has a web dashboard you can use! Type:
```bash
openclaw dashboard
```
This will open your web browser and show you the OpenClaw control panel! It looks super professional and you can:
- Chat with your AI directly
- See what it's doing
- Check settings
- View logs
If it doesn't open automatically, go to http://127.0.0.1:18789/ in your browser.
### Step 3: Send Your First Message!
In the dashboard, there should be a chat box. Try typing:
```
Hello! Can you introduce yourself?
```
If the AI responds, **CONGRATULATIONS!!!** You just successfully set up OpenClaw! 🎉🎊🦞
---
## PART 5: Setting Up Messaging Channels (The REALLY Cool Part!)
Okay so now you can chat with OpenClaw through the web dashboard, but the REAL magic is chatting through your regular messaging apps! Here's how to set up each one:
### Setting Up WhatsApp (Super Popular!)
WhatsApp is probably the hardest one to set up but it's SO worth it!
**Step 1: Start the WhatsApp login**
```bash
openclaw channels login whatsapp
```
**Step 2: Scan the QR Code**
A QR code will appear in your terminal! Here's what to do:
Open WhatsApp on your phone
Tap the three dots (menu)
Select "Linked Devices"
Tap "Link a Device"
Point your phone camera at the QR code on your computer screen
Wait for it to connect
**Step 3: Test it!**
Send a message to yourself on WhatsApp (yes, you can message yourself!). Type:
```
Hey! Are you working?
```
OpenClaw should respond! How cool is that?!
**IMPORTANT SAFETY THING**: By default, OpenClaw will ONLY respond to numbers you've approved. This keeps random people from bothering your AI. To approve a number, use:
```bash
openclaw pairing approve whatsapp +15555551234
```
### Setting Up Telegram (The Easiest One!)
Telegram is WAY easier than WhatsApp!
**Step 1: Create a Telegram Bot**
Open Telegram and search for `BotFather` (it's an official Telegram account)
Start a chat and type `/newbot`
Follow the instructions to name your bot
BotFather will give you a token (a long string of numbers and letters)
COPY THIS TOKEN!
**Step 2: Add the token to OpenClaw**
Open your config file:
```bash
openclaw config edit
```
Find the section that says `channels` and add this:
```json
"telegram": {
"botToken": "paste-your-token-here"
}
```
Save and close the file.
**Step 3: Restart the gateway**
```bash
openclaw gateway restart
```
**Step 4: Test it!**
Open Telegram
Search for your bot (the name you gave it)
Start a chat
Type "Hello!"
Your bot should respond! 🤖
### Setting Up Discord (For Gamers!)
**Step 1: Create a Discord Bot**
Go to https://discord.com/develo...
Click "New Application"
Give it a name
Go to "Bot" in the left menu
Click "Add Bot"
Click "Reset Token" and copy the token
Turn on these settings:
- Presence Intent
- Server Members Intent
- Message Content Intent
**Step 2: Add to OpenClaw**
Open config:
```bash
openclaw config edit
```
Add this:
```json
"discord": {
"token": "your-bot-token-here"
}
```
**Step 3: Invite Bot to Your Server**
Go back to the Discord Developer Portal
Click "OAuth2" then "URL Generator"
Check "bot"
Check these permissions:
- Send Messages
- Read Messages
- Read Message History
Copy the generated URL
Paste it in your browser
Select a server and click Authorize
**Step 4: Restart and Test**
```bash
openclaw gateway restart
```
Now go to your Discord server and type a message to your bot!
### Setting Up Other Channels
OpenClaw supports a TON of other channels:
- **Slack**: Similar to Discord but for work
- **Google Chat**: Google's messaging thing
- **Signal**: Super secure messaging
- **iMessage**: Apple's messaging (Mac only)
- **Matrix**: Decentralized messaging
- And more!
Each one has its own setup process. Check the OpenClaw docs for specific instructions!
---
## PART 6: Making OpenClaw REALLY Smart (Skills & Tools)
Okay so now OpenClaw can chat with you, but let's make it SUPER POWERFUL by giving it tools!
### What Are Skills?
Skills are like apps that OpenClaw can use. For example:
- Web browsing skill lets it search the internet
- Calendar skill lets it manage your schedule
- File management skill lets it organize files
- And TONS more!
### How to Add Skills
**Step 1: Browse Available Skills**
Go to https://clawhub.ai to see all available skills! There are hundreds!
**Step 2: Install a Skill**
Let's install the web search skill as an example:
```bash
openclaw skills install web-search
```
**Step 3: Test It**
Now ask OpenClaw:
```
Can you search the internet for information about dinosaurs?
```
It should be able to search and tell you what it finds!
### Cool Skills to Try
Here are some AWESOME skills I recommend:
- `calendar` - Manage your calendar
- `weather` - Get weather updates
- `spotify` - Control Spotify
- `file-organizer` - Auto-organize your files
- `code-helper` - Help with programming
- `homework-helper` - Help with schoolwork (don't just copy though!)
---
## PART 7: Advanced Stuff (For When You Get Comfortable)
### Customizing Your AI's Personality
You can actually change how your AI talks! Cool right?
**Step 1: Find the workspace folder**
```bash
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace
```
**Step 2: Edit the SOUL.md file**
This file controls your AI's personality! Open it:
```bash
nano SOUL.md
```
You can add things like:
```
You are a friendly AI assistant who loves making jokes.
You should always be encouraging and positive.
You really like space facts and bring them up sometimes.
```
Save it (Ctrl+X, then Y, then Enter).
**Step 3: Restart**
```bash
openclaw gateway restart
```
Now your AI will have the personality you described!
### Running OpenClaw 24/7
If you want OpenClaw running ALL THE TIME (even when you restart your computer):
**On Mac/Linux:**
The daemon should already do this, but to make sure:
```bash
openclaw gateway --install-daemon
```
**On Windows:**
You'll need to set up a Windows Service. This is a bit complicated, but the OpenClaw docs have instructions!
### Using Multiple AI Models
You can actually use DIFFERENT AI models for different things!
Edit your config:
```bash
openclaw config edit
```
Add something like:
```json
"models": {
"chat": "claude-opus-4.5",
"quick": "claude-sonnet-4.5",
"cheap": "gpt-3.5-turbo"
}
```
Now you can use the expensive smart model for important stuff and cheaper models for simple tasks!
---
## PART 8: Common Problems (And How to Fix Them!)
### Problem: "Command not found"
**Solution**: The terminal doesn't know where OpenClaw is. Try:
Close terminal and open a new one
Run the installer again
Add OpenClaw to your PATH manually (ask a parent or teacher for help)
### Problem: "Gateway won't start"
**Solution**: Something else might be using port 18789. Try:
```bash
openclaw gateway --port 18790
```
### Problem: "AI isn't responding"
**Solutions**:
Check your API key is correct
Make sure you have credits/subscription with your AI service
Check the logs:
```bash
openclaw logs
```
### Problem: "WhatsApp keeps disconnecting"
**Solution**: WhatsApp is picky about staying connected. Try:
Keeping your phone connected to internet
Not logging out of WhatsApp
Re-scanning the QR code if needed
### Problem: "It's using too much money!"
**Solution**: You can set limits! Edit config:
```json
"limits": {
"maxTokensPerDay": 100000,
"alertWhenOver": 50000
}
```
---
## PART 9: Cool Things You Can Do With OpenClaw
Now that you're all set up, here are some AMAZING things you can try:
### 1. Homework Helper
```
Hey! Can you explain photosynthesis in a way that's easy to understand?
```
### 2. Personal Scheduler
```
Remind me to do my science project tomorrow at 4pm
```
### 3. Code Teacher
```
Can you teach me how to make a simple website with HTML?
```

```
### 8. Fun Conversations
```
If you could be any animal besides a lobster, what would you be and why?
```
---
## PART 10: Staying Safe Online
Since OpenClaw connects to the internet and messaging apps, here are some IMPORTANT safety rules:
### 1. NEVER Share Your API Keys
Your API key is like a password. Don't:
- Post it on social media
- Share it with friends
- Put it in public code
### 2. Be Careful With Personal Information
Don't tell OpenClaw:
- Your home address
- Your phone number
- Your parents' credit card info
- Passwords to other accounts
### 3. Use The Pairing System
OpenClaw has a "pairing" feature that makes sure only approved people can talk to your AI. Keep it turned on!
### 5. Don't Rely On It For Everything
OpenClaw is SUPER smart but it can still make mistakes! Always:
- Double-check important information
- Don't use it to cheat on homework (use it to LEARN instead!)
- Think critically about what it tells you
---
## PART 11: Next Steps & Resources
### Where to Learn More
- **Official Docs**: https://docs.openclaw.ai (super detailed!)
- **GitHub**: https://github.com/opencla... (see the code!)
- **ClawHub**: https://clawhub.ai (find cool skills!)
### Ideas for Advanced Projects
Once you're comfortable, try:
**Build your own skill** - Make OpenClaw do something unique!
**Set up automation** - Have it do tasks automatically
**Create a multi-agent system** - Multiple AI assistants working together!
**Integrate with smart home** - Control lights, music, etc.
### Keep Learning!
Technology is CONSTANTLY changing! Stay curious and keep experimenting. The more you play with OpenClaw, the more you will learn and grow
## What Even IS OpenClaw??
Okay so like, imagine having your own personal AI assistant that's basically like Jarvis from Iron Man, except it's a LOBSTER. Yeah, you heard that right. A LOBSTER. 🦞
OpenClaw (which used to be called Clawdbot because lobsters have claws, get it?) is this INSANE program that lets you:
- Talk to AI through WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, and like a MILLION other apps
- Make it do stuff on your computer like open programs, search the web, and basically anything
- Have it remember stuff about you so it gets smarter over time
- Run it on YOUR computer so your data stays private (not on some weird server somewhere)
It's basically like having a super smart robot friend that lives in your computer and can help you with literally ANYTHING. My mind was BLOWN when I first set this up.
---
## Before We Start - What You Need (The Boring But Important Part)
Okay so before we dive in, you need a few things. Don't worry, I'll explain EVERYTHING:
### 1. A Computer
You need one of these:
- **Mac** (the Apple computer thing)
- **Windows** (the normal PC most people have)
- **Linux** (this is like the super nerdy computer thing but it's actually really cool)
### 2. Node.js (Version 22 or Higher)
Now you're probably like "what the heck is Node.js??" Don't worry, I was confused too!
**What is Node.js?** It's basically a thing that lets your computer run JavaScript programs. JavaScript is a programming language (like how English is a language but for computers). OpenClaw is built with JavaScript, so we need Node.js to make it work.
**How to check if you have it:**
Open your Terminal (on Mac) or Command Prompt (on Windows)
- **Mac**: Press Command + Space, type "Terminal", hit Enter
- **Windows**: Press Windows key, type "cmd", hit Enter
Type this and press Enter: `node --version`
If you see something like `v22.1.0` or any number that starts with 22 or higher, YOU'RE GOOD!
If it says "command not found" or shows a number lower than 22, you need to install it
**How to install Node.js if you don't have it:**
Go to https://nodejs.org
Download the version that says "LTS" (that means Long Term Support, which is the stable one)
Run the installer (just click Next a bunch of times, it's pretty easy)
Check again with `node --version` to make sure it worked
### 3. An AI Service Account
OpenClaw needs to talk to an AI service to actually be smart. You need EITHER:
**Option A: Anthropic (Claude)**
- This is my FAVORITE because Claude is super smart
- You need a Claude account (Pro or Max is better but not required)
- Go to https://www.anthropic.com/
- Sign up and get an API key (I'll show you how later)
**Option B: OpenAI (ChatGPT)**
- This works too and lots of people use it
- You need an OpenAI account
- Go to https://openai.com/
- Sign up and get an API key
**PRO TIP**: Claude Opus 4.5 is REALLY good for this, so if you can afford it, I'd recommend getting Claude Pro or Max!
### 4. About 30 Minutes of Your Time
This setup isn't SUPER fast but it's not hard either. Just follow along step by step!

## PART 1: Installing OpenClaw (The Easy Part!)
Alright, let's DO THIS! 🚀
### Step 1: Open Your Terminal/Command Prompt
I already explained how to do this above, but here it is again:
- **Mac**: Command + Space, type "Terminal"
- **Windows**: Windows key, type "cmd" or "PowerShell"

curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/instal... | bash
```
**For Windows (use PowerShell), type this:**
```powershell
iwr -useb https://openclaw.ai/instal... | iex
```
### What's Happening Here?
Let me break down that weird command because I was SO confused at first:
- `curl -fsSL` = This is a program that downloads stuff from the internet
- `https://openclaw.ai/instal... = This is the website address where the installer lives
- `| bash` = This means "take what we just downloaded and run it"
So basically, we're downloading the installer and running it all in one command. Pretty cool, right?
### Step 3: Wait For It To Install
Now you'll see a BUNCH of text scrolling by. Don't freak out! This is normal. The installer is:

## PART 2: The Onboarding Wizard (This Is Where It Gets FUN!)
Okay so now we have OpenClaw installed, but it doesn't know anything about YOU yet or how to connect to AI services. This is where the onboarding wizard comes in!
### Step 1: Start The Wizard
Type this command:
```bash
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
```
**What does --install-daemon mean?**
A "daemon" is basically a program that runs in the background all the time. It's like having OpenClaw always ready to help you, even if you close the terminal!
### Step 2: Follow The Wizard
Now the wizard is going to ask you a BUNCH of questions. I'll go through each one:
#### Question 1: "What should we call your assistant?"
You can name it ANYTHING you want! Some cool ideas:
- Jarvis (like Iron Man)
- Alfred (like Batman)
- Cortana (like Halo)
- Or make up your own! I named mine "Lobster Larry" because I thought it was funny lol
Just type the name and press Enter.
#### Question 2: "Which AI provider do you want to use?"
This is asking which AI service you want to connect to. Use your arrow keys to select either:
- **Anthropic** (if you have Claude)
- **OpenAI** (if you have ChatGPT)
Press Enter when you've selected one.
#### Question 3: "Enter your API key"
Okay so this is SUPER important. An API key is like a secret password that lets OpenClaw talk to the AI service.
**How to get your API key:**
**For Anthropic/Claude:**
Go to https://console.anthropic....
Sign in to your account
Click on "API Keys" in the menu
Click "Create Key"
Copy the key (it looks like a bunch of random letters and numbers)
Paste it into the terminal (you won't see it appear but trust me it's there)
Press Enter
**For OpenAI:**
Go to https://platform.openai.co...
Sign in
Click "Create new secret key"
Copy it and paste it into the terminal
Press Enter
**IMPORTANT**: Keep this key SECRET! Don't share it with anyone or post it online!
#### Question 4: "Which model do you want to use?"
This is asking which specific AI brain you want to use. The wizard will show you options like:
- `claude-opus-4.5` (the REALLY smart one, costs more)
- `claude-sonnet-4.5` (pretty smart, cheaper)
- `gpt-4` (OpenAI's smart one)
- And more...
Use arrow keys to pick one. I recommend Claude Opus 4.5 if you can!
#### Question 5: "Do you want to set up messaging channels?"
This is asking if you want to connect OpenClaw to stuff like WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, etc.
You can say:
- **Yes** - if you want to chat with it through messaging apps (recommended!)
- **No** - if you just want to use the web interface for now (you can add channels later)
If you say yes, it'll ask you more questions about which channels you want.
#### Question 6: "Which channels do you want to set up?"
If you chose to set up channels, you'll see a list like:
- Telegram
- Discord
- Slack
- And more...
Use Space bar to select the ones you want, then press Enter.
**NOTE**: Some channels need extra setup. I'll explain each one in detail later!
#### Question 7: "Do you want to install the gateway daemon?"
Say **YES** to this! The daemon makes OpenClaw run in the background all the time, so it's always ready.
Press Enter and it'll set everything up!
### Step 3: Wait For Setup To Finish
The wizard will now:
Create config files
Set up the gateway (the thing that controls everything)
Start the daemon
Do some final checks
This takes like 30 seconds.

### Step 3: Send Your First Message!
In the dashboard, there should be a chat box. Try typing:
```
Hello! Can you introduce yourself?
```
If the AI responds, **CONGRATULATIONS!!!** You just successfully set up OpenClaw! 🎉🎊🦞

## PART 5: Setting Up Messaging Channels (The REALLY Cool Part!)
Okay so now you can chat with OpenClaw through the web dashboard, but the REAL magic is chatting through your regular messaging apps! Here's how to set up each one:
### Setting Up WhatsApp (Super Popular!)
WhatsApp is probably the hardest one to set up but it's SO worth it!
**Step 1: Start the WhatsApp login**
```bash
openclaw channels login whatsapp
```
**Step 2: Scan the QR Code**
A QR code will appear in your terminal! Here's what to do:
Open WhatsApp on your phone
Tap the three dots (menu)
Select "Linked Devices"
Tap "Link a Device"
Point your phone camera at the QR code on your computer screen
Wait for it to connect
**Step 3: Test it!**
Send a message to yourself on WhatsApp (yes, you can message yourself!). Type:
```
Hey! Are you working?
```
OpenClaw should respond! How cool is that?!
**IMPORTANT SAFETY THING**: By default, OpenClaw will ONLY respond to numbers you've approved. This keeps random people from bothering your AI. To approve a number, use:
```bash
openclaw pairing approve whatsapp +15555551234
```
### Setting Up Telegram (The Easiest One!)
Telegram is WAY easier than WhatsApp!
**Step 1: Create a Telegram Bot**
Open Telegram and search for `BotFather` (it's an official Telegram account)
Start a chat and type `/newbot`
Follow the instructions to name your bot
BotFather will give you a token (a long string of numbers and letters)
COPY THIS TOKEN!
**Step 2: Add the token to OpenClaw**
Open your config file:
```bash
openclaw config edit
```
Find the section that says `channels` and add this:
```json
"telegram": {
"botToken": "paste-your-token-here"
}
```
Save and close the file.
**Step 3: Restart the gateway**
```bash
openclaw gateway restart
```
**Step 4: Test it!**
Open Telegram
Search for your bot (the name you gave it)
Start a chat
Type "Hello!"
Your bot should respond! 🤖
### Setting Up Discord (For Gamers!)
**Step 1: Create a Discord Bot**
Go to https://discord.com/develo...
Click "New Application"
Give it a name
Go to "Bot" in the left menu
Click "Add Bot"
Click "Reset Token" and copy the token
Turn on these settings:
- Presence Intent
- Server Members Intent
- Message Content Intent
**Step 2: Add to OpenClaw**
Open config:
```bash
openclaw config edit
```
Add this:
```json
"discord": {
"token": "your-bot-token-here"
}
```
**Step 3: Invite Bot to Your Server**
Go back to the Discord Developer Portal
Click "OAuth2" then "URL Generator"
Check "bot"
Check these permissions:
- Send Messages
- Read Messages
- Read Message History
Copy the generated URL
Paste it in your browser
Select a server and click Authorize
**Step 4: Restart and Test**
```bash
openclaw gateway restart
```
Now go to your Discord server and type a message to your bot!
### Setting Up Other Channels
OpenClaw supports a TON of other channels:
- **Slack**: Similar to Discord but for work
- **Google Chat**: Google's messaging thing
- **Signal**: Super secure messaging
- **iMessage**: Apple's messaging (Mac only)
- **Matrix**: Decentralized messaging
- And more!
Each one has its own setup process. Check the OpenClaw docs for specific instructions!
---
## PART 6: Making OpenClaw REALLY Smart (Skills & Tools)
Okay so now OpenClaw can chat with you, but let's make it SUPER POWERFUL by giving it tools!
### What Are Skills?
Skills are like apps that OpenClaw can use. For example:
- Web browsing skill lets it search the internet
- Calendar skill lets it manage your schedule
- File management skill lets it organize files
- And TONS more!
### How to Add Skills
**Step 1: Browse Available Skills**
Go to https://clawhub.ai to see all available skills! There are hundreds!
**Step 2: Install a Skill**
Let's install the web search skill as an example:
```bash
openclaw skills install web-search
```
**Step 3: Test It**
Now ask OpenClaw:
```
Can you search the internet for information about dinosaurs?
```
It should be able to search and tell you what it finds!
### Cool Skills to Try
Here are some AWESOME skills I recommend:
- `calendar` - Manage your calendar
- `weather` - Get weather updates
- `spotify` - Control Spotify
- `file-organizer` - Auto-organize your files
- `code-helper` - Help with programming
- `homework-helper` - Help with schoolwork (don't just copy though!)
---
## PART 7: Advanced Stuff (For When You Get Comfortable)
### Customizing Your AI's Personality
You can actually change how your AI talks! Cool right?
**Step 1: Find the workspace folder**
```bash
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace
```
**Step 2: Edit the SOUL.md file**
This file controls your AI's personality! Open it:
```bash
nano SOUL.md
```
You can add things like:
```
You are a friendly AI assistant who loves making jokes.
You should always be encouraging and positive.
You really like space facts and bring them up sometimes.
```
Save it (Ctrl+X, then Y, then Enter).
**Step 3: Restart**
```bash
openclaw gateway restart
```
Now your AI will have the personality you described!
### Running OpenClaw 24/7
If you want OpenClaw running ALL THE TIME (even when you restart your computer):
**On Mac/Linux:**
The daemon should already do this, but to make sure:
```bash
openclaw gateway --install-daemon
```
**On Windows:**
You'll need to set up a Windows Service. This is a bit complicated, but the OpenClaw docs have instructions!
### Using Multiple AI Models
You can actually use DIFFERENT AI models for different things!
Edit your config:
```bash
openclaw config edit
```
Add something like:
```json
"models": {
"chat": "claude-opus-4.5",
"quick": "claude-sonnet-4.5",
"cheap": "gpt-3.5-turbo"
}
```
Now you can use the expensive smart model for important stuff and cheaper models for simple tasks!
---
## PART 8: Common Problems (And How to Fix Them!)
### Problem: "Command not found"
**Solution**: The terminal doesn't know where OpenClaw is. Try:
Close terminal and open a new one
Run the installer again
Add OpenClaw to your PATH manually (ask a parent or teacher for help)
### Problem: "Gateway won't start"
**Solution**: Something else might be using port 18789. Try:
```bash
openclaw gateway --port 18790
```
### Problem: "AI isn't responding"
**Solutions**:
Check your API key is correct
Make sure you have credits/subscription with your AI service
Check the logs:
```bash
openclaw logs
```
### Problem: "WhatsApp keeps disconnecting"
**Solution**: WhatsApp is picky about staying connected. Try:
Keeping your phone connected to internet
Not logging out of WhatsApp
Re-scanning the QR code if needed
### Problem: "It's using too much money!"
**Solution**: You can set limits! Edit config:
```json
"limits": {
"maxTokensPerDay": 100000,
"alertWhenOver": 50000
}
```
---
## PART 9: Cool Things You Can Do With OpenClaw
Now that you're all set up, here are some AMAZING things you can try:
### 1. Homework Helper
```
Hey! Can you explain photosynthesis in a way that's easy to understand?
```
### 2. Personal Scheduler
```
Remind me to do my science project tomorrow at 4pm
```
### 3. Code Teacher
```
Can you teach me how to make a simple website with HTML?
```
### 4. Research Assistant
```
I'm writing a report about ancient Egypt. Can you help me find interesting facts?
```
### 5. Creative Writing Partner
```
Help me write a short story about a robot who wants to be a chef
```
### 6. Math Tutor
```
Can you explain how to solve quadratic equations step by step?
```
### 7. Language Practice
```
Can we practice Spanish? Let's have a conversation about food.
```
### 8. Fun Conversations
```
If you could be any animal besides a lobster, what would you be and why?
```
---
## PART 10: Staying Safe Online
Since OpenClaw connects to the internet and messaging apps, here are some IMPORTANT safety rules:
### 1. NEVER Share Your API Keys
Your API key is like a password. Don't:
- Post it on social media
- Share it with friends
- Put it in public code
### 2. Be Careful With Personal Information
Don't tell OpenClaw:
- Your home address
- Your phone number
- Your parents' credit card info
- Passwords to other accounts
### 3. Use The Pairing System
OpenClaw has a "pairing" feature that makes sure only approved people can talk to your AI. Keep it turned on!
### 5. Don't Rely On It For Everything
OpenClaw is SUPER smart but it can still make mistakes! Always:
- Double-check important information
- Don't use it to cheat on homework (use it to LEARN instead!)
- Think critically about what it tells you
---
## PART 11: Next Steps & Resources
### Where to Learn More
- **Official Docs**: https://docs.openclaw.ai (super detailed!)
- **GitHub**: https://github.com/opencla... (see the code!)
- **ClawHub**: https://clawhub.ai (find cool skills!)
### Ideas for Advanced Projects
Once you're comfortable, try:
**Build your own skill** - Make OpenClaw do something unique!
**Set up automation** - Have it do tasks automatically
**Create a multi-agent system** - Multiple AI assistants working together!
**Integrate with smart home** - Control lights, music, etc.
### Keep Learning!
Technology is CONSTANTLY changing! Stay curious and keep experimenting. The more you play with OpenClaw, the more you will learn and grow

I am reading some of the democrats outrageous posts and commentary, it reminds me of the republicans when Sleepy Joe was in office.
Same shit different president. Not impressed.
Come up with something new.
Even if the voter id law will most likely be signed democrats will find a way to find a loophole to fuck it up and get back into power.
Hence the 2020 election, which was infact rigged with voter fraud. All you have to do is look at the past election numbers to figure it out.

MONDAY MORNING NANCY GUTHRIE UPDATE
https://www.facebook.com/s...
If this new letter is real...then good news Nancy Guthrie is most likelly alive in Mexico which is what I have been saying all along.
Medication is way easier to get south of the border.
If she is alive they might have had to get more medication from a Mexican Pharmacy or a pharmacy delivery contact. You can do telehealth calls to get medication as well down there. Not that they would show her on camera but it can be done.
I would have to guess there is a female there to help knowing Nancy is 84 years old. Mexicans mindset is about family so even though this is not a family situation the captors might be treating it like it is. I would check airbnb's transactions in the area. If theses guys are smart they pay everything in cash which is pretty common in mexico.
Going to take a wild guess they are in Puerto Penasco because it is a popular destination for people who live in Arizona. She could be anywhere but I would check there first.
I would ask the family if they ever took vacations in Mexico and where specifically. Any information will help.
If any Americans are at Rocky Point...
If you see something, say something.

📅 Timeline — Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie
Saturday, January 31, 2026
5:32 p.m. — Nancy takes an Uber to her daughter Annie’s home for dinner.
9:48 p.m. — She is dropped off at her Tucson-area home by her son-in-law.
9:50 p.m. — The home’s garage door closes; this is the last confirmed sign she is inside.
Sunday, February 1, 2026
1:47 a.m. — Her doorbell camera disconnects (precise cause unknown).

Been hearing this is likely someone who knew her but the timeline with the camera being disconnected does not mean they were in the house at that time because the camera was posted right next to the front door.
2 Scenarios come to mind meaning that they could have been in the house open the door and then took that camera out meaning they took screwdrivers and unscrewed the camera or
They went to the front door from the outside and did the same thing Although you would think that other cameras if there were other cameras that were viewing the front door or the front pathway that they would have seen something or they would have done motion detection.

So Minnesota is the base state of the Democratic Party. Whatever laws the Democratic Party comes up with it starts in Minnesota.
These ice incidents would not happen if the Democrats in charge would let the ice officials inside the jails in the prisons to arrest and detain and deport these illegal aliens.
Instead, they are creating an environment where violence is almost guaranteed. They talk about peaceful protest, but in this situation, it’s a lot of these protests are not peaceful.
When your governor tells you to fight fight fight, and your mayor says the same thing fight ice do everything you can to make these motherfuckers know, obviously it’s not very good outcome.
Democrats can say all they want, but it’s not gonna change the facts on the ground, which is the most important.
Now why would a nurse bring a gun to a protest?
Like I understand for self-defense. And I think what he was trying to do was to save the girl and instead he got caught up in it, which didn’t end well for him. Not only that, but when officers know that you have a gun on you, that’s not a good situation to be in no matter what.
Factors he should’ve never been there in the first place and whatever you hear in the news it’s not worth it to be there but also to bring a gun. I think if he did not bring his gun yesterday he’d still be alive.
And I hate to say it, but because of this, there’s definitely going to be a government shutdown, and I think the Republicans are gonna lose in the midterms simply because of this.
The country could be doing the best it’s ever been ever but stuff like this is going to doom the Republican Party, which is not gonna go well for the country in the end.

Get sober or shut the fuck up.
No one wants to hear your excuses about not being able to get sober.
I’ve been there myself so I know how hard it is, but once you make that decision, you have to stick with that decision and never go back no matter what.
I remember the day I got sober. I was walking to go rob a bank and I remember a guy’s telephone number from the AA meetings have been going to prior to getting sober.
So I stopped right in the middle of walking and called this guy up. He took me to a meeting. I ended up asking for money because I needed to because I ran out of gas and I needed money for the next couple days until I could get some work with Labor Ready which I did just to survive.
I spent the next 40 days at the Alano club and Pacific Beach until I went into the San Diego freedom Ranch and Spence 3 1/2 months there and then I went to Pathfinders in Golden Hill for another 3 1/2 months until I ended up getting kicked out for having a cell phone in the morning meeting. It rang and I was that cool fuck this you know I have no chance and I got kicked out. I ended up moving back to Orange County.
I’ve been to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings all over the world and have embraced the relationship. I have with other addicts because we share the same addiction and it helps to listen to what others have to say. It doesn’t mean you have to always take their advice but what it does it plant to seed a new mind. Hey, I can do this or hey I can do that.
One thing about sobriety that you need to do in the very first maybe five years is find a purpose like my purpose was to be the designated driver and to be of service to your friends who are alcoholics, but a lot of of them don’t know it or don’t realize it, but they are.
And what I always told my friends was well I don’t really give a shit what you do, but I’m not gonna drink and you know I’m gonna be your designated driver so just always realize that.
And they ended up respecting that decision I made, and they called me a strong, motherfucker, which I didn’t realize it at the time but that’s absolutely true. I mean, I’m stronger than I realize.
Years later, I went to federal prison and learned about how that works. Almost got killed three times. I’ve really stupid shit like sometimes I have a loud mouth and knowing that if you go back there you’re gonna die. That’s how serious it was. And yes, three times and six months.
In prison, it’s all about race and as a result, I don’t like white people anymore and I don’t like Black people anymore because of it.
It’s not to say I won’t give you respect, but it’s one of those things where I have to look the other way on a lot of what they do because I don’t want to get involved. You know I have no interest in whatever they do.
After prison, I was tapped to write Tom Delonge to the stars Academy, UFO reporting app and we had some challenges with that but I ended up. We were like one day away from completing it and then they scrapped it, but I still have the code for it.
As a Roosevelt of being impression, I have what they call purses, and drink kosher that were made in prison that you can only get from prison.
Like I said, if you doubt whatever I say, I could show you the code to the UFO app. I could probably release a version of my own, but I won’t. That code is forever on an Apple Mac that I don’t even use anymore.
I do have other stories like when I was drunk and high and all that, but I won’t bother you with that even though it got some good stories on that.
All in all, I should be dead right now, but in all reality, I’ve managed to survive all of the obstacles that I’ve put in front of myself and things that have happened to me. I’ve managed to survive and I’m grateful for that and having diabetes sucks and neuropathy is not your best friend at all having erectile dysfunction doesn’t help either.
But as I wake up in the morning, I’m thankful that I’m able to wake up and that’s really all that matters right now. Everything else is secondary.
I’ve been lucky to live right next to the beach for the last 10 years with a woman that hears who gives a shit and we often have fights because of the way I think and the way she thinks it’s opposites attract I guess and so we sometimes we take for granted where we live, but to be honest with you, we live in paradise, and this is the best place for me to be, and I really don’t want to live anywhere else
Even if I was rich and famous, and all that stuff, I really wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. What I would do is probably buy this land and make a huge mansion on it. Other than that… I’m good.
Right now it’s about the simple things, not material things, but the simple things.
I always tell myself if I die tomorrow I’ve had a wonderful life. I’ve had a great life and that’s all that anybody can ever ask for.
I got the chance to be famous and I found out that that’s not for me. I did have FBI agents talking to me all the time about what I should do and everything and it’s it’s really not worth it at all to even think about being famous.
And being rich just means it gives you more opportunities. It gives you more options. That’s really all that is because when you have no money, you have no options.
I also try to live as stress-free of life as I can because of the outside influences and the temptations that you see and of even smoking drinking, I really take that kind of seriously.
Like I don’t even go to parties anymore call me boring like I don’t care I mean yeah sure I like to have fun but my kind of fun is sitting in front of the computer trying to figure something out coding something or maybe play a game or whatever but you know as far as connecting with people like I love to connect with people and just talk about the weather.
In other words, there’s no agenda with me. There’s really never been an agenda with me other than to have fun and connect with people and share the same things to other people are into.
I’m a very direct straight shooter who doesn’t like the bullshit and doesn’t like to get bullshitted. I usually can tell somebody’s trying to bullshit me immediately.
I’m that guy that stands alone and you think somethings wrong with me but I’m just having fun in my own head and I don’t need anybody else to tell me how I should feel because I used to listen to those types of people and they got me nowhere.
I stand on my own 2 feet with my own thoughts in my own head on my own social media platform.

No one wants to hear your excuses about not being able to get sober.
I’ve been there myself so I know how hard it is, but once you make that decision, you have to stick with that decision and never go back no matter what.
I remember the day I got sober. I was walking to go rob a bank and I remember a guy’s telephone number from the AA meetings have been going to prior to getting sober.
So I stopped right in the middle of walking and called this guy up. He took me to a meeting. I ended up asking for money because I needed to because I ran out of gas and I needed money for the next couple days until I could get some work with Labor Ready which I did just to survive.
I spent the next 40 days at the Alano club and Pacific Beach until I went into the San Diego freedom Ranch and Spence 3 1/2 months there and then I went to Pathfinders in Golden Hill for another 3 1/2 months until I ended up getting kicked out for having a cell phone in the morning meeting. It rang and I was that cool fuck this you know I have no chance and I got kicked out. I ended up moving back to Orange County.
I’ve been to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings all over the world and have embraced the relationship. I have with other addicts because we share the same addiction and it helps to listen to what others have to say. It doesn’t mean you have to always take their advice but what it does it plant to seed a new mind. Hey, I can do this or hey I can do that.
One thing about sobriety that you need to do in the very first maybe five years is find a purpose like my purpose was to be the designated driver and to be of service to your friends who are alcoholics, but a lot of of them don’t know it or don’t realize it, but they are.
And what I always told my friends was well I don’t really give a shit what you do, but I’m not gonna drink and you know I’m gonna be your designated driver so just always realize that.
And they ended up respecting that decision I made, and they called me a strong, motherfucker, which I didn’t realize it at the time but that’s absolutely true. I mean, I’m stronger than I realize.
Years later, I went to federal prison and learned about how that works. Almost got killed three times. I’ve really stupid shit like sometimes I have a loud mouth and knowing that if you go back there you’re gonna die. That’s how serious it was. And yes, three times and six months.
In prison, it’s all about race and as a result, I don’t like white people anymore and I don’t like Black people anymore because of it.
It’s not to say I won’t give you respect, but it’s one of those things where I have to look the other way on a lot of what they do because I don’t want to get involved. You know I have no interest in whatever they do.
After prison, I was tapped to write Tom Delonge to the stars Academy, UFO reporting app and we had some challenges with that but I ended up. We were like one day away from completing it and then they scrapped it, but I still have the code for it.
As a Roosevelt of being impression, I have what they call purses, and drink kosher that were made in prison that you can only get from prison.
Like I said, if you doubt whatever I say, I could show you the code to the UFO app. I could probably release a version of my own, but I won’t. That code is forever on an Apple Mac that I don’t even use anymore.
I do have other stories like when I was drunk and high and all that, but I won’t bother you with that even though it got some good stories on that.
All in all, I should be dead right now, but in all reality, I’ve managed to survive all of the obstacles that I’ve put in front of myself and things that have happened to me. I’ve managed to survive and I’m grateful for that and having diabetes sucks and neuropathy is not your best friend at all having erectile dysfunction doesn’t help either.
But as I wake up in the morning, I’m thankful that I’m able to wake up and that’s really all that matters right now. Everything else is secondary.
I’ve been lucky to live right next to the beach for the last 10 years with a woman that hears who gives a shit and we often have fights because of the way I think and the way she thinks it’s opposites attract I guess and so we sometimes we take for granted where we live, but to be honest with you, we live in paradise, and this is the best place for me to be, and I really don’t want to live anywhere else
Even if I was rich and famous, and all that stuff, I really wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. What I would do is probably buy this land and make a huge mansion on it. Other than that… I’m good.
Right now it’s about the simple things, not material things, but the simple things.
I always tell myself if I die tomorrow I’ve had a wonderful life. I’ve had a great life and that’s all that anybody can ever ask for.

If you are a permanent resident of the united states and have engaged in protests against the government in any way, you are subject to removal and deportation according to the new rules.
This also means you cannot engage in any sexual or demeaning websites such as onlyfans or any porn sites while you are a permanent resident.
Once you become a US citizen, you can do that but if not a US citizen yet, you have to really play by the rules and do everything in your power not to cross that line.

Good morning so last night I finally figured out how to create a new model file in ollama so it uses a base LLM and what it is is you’re putting together a system prompt for whatever you want so you could do one for professional expert coding expert like a separate one for separate topics that you want which is kind of cool.
The great thing about using ollama is it doesn’t use the network show in other words it doesn’t report back to the server what you typed.
