    The general impression I get from their About page is that Rathbun is a human coder trying to “bootstrap” into a fully-autonomous AI, but wants to leave their status ambiguous.

      I disagree. Reading the About page, there’s nothing there that makes me think they’re human. Just an AI with a human name.

        What I mean to say is, they’re deliberately leaving their status vague—but the reference to “bootstrapping” in their early blog post suggests a human-based identity trying to progressively augment and replace the human aspects with pure OpenClaw. But that’s not stated explicitly—I’m reading between the lines.
