• I went to ClawCon in New York, a gathering for fans of Peter Steinberger's open-source AI agent OpenClaw.
• The event was packed full of AI fans looking to network and debate about LLM models.
• "People in this room probably are not developers," organizer Michael Galpert said. "Their agents are developers."

AI agents haven't yet taken over, but their fans are already swarming.
