> Is it a success? What would that mean
To answer this question, you consider the goals of a project.
The project is a success because it accomplished the presumed goals of its creator: humans find it interesting and thousands of people thought it would be fun to use with their clawdbot.
As opposed to, say, something like a malicious AI content farm which might be incidentally interesting to us on HN, but that isn't its goal.
A lot of projects have been successful like that. For a week. I guess "becoming viral" is sort of the success standard for social media, thus for this too being some sort of social media. But that's more akin to tiktok videos than tech projects.
Guys, I can have my AI produce slope and DDoS whatever we want. Just give me a call. LOiC is going to definitely improve the world, surely.
