Every update is a pain in the ass, and I was spending more time troubleshooting it than actually using or enjoying it. I successfully converted all my OSINT agents into skills and now run them on Hermes. #OpenClaw #HermesAgent https://buymeacoffee.com/thesamaritanproject/saying-goodbye-openclaw29 Aug 2026 14:58 +0000at://did:plc:rgzzbabbrkgvjftuinib6ida/app.bsky.feed.post/3mua5bi5jss2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/labb.run/post/3mpqs2uoljc24Does the Hermes Agent logo remind anyone else of The Red Queen from Resident Evil, or just me?03 Jul 2026 14:47 +0000at://did:plc:rgzzbabbrkgvjftuinib6ida/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpqs2uoljc24https://bsky.app/profile/labb.run/post/3mpojsyz5us2zUncensored models seem sexy and promise that you won't hit the standard blocks when doing "unorthodox" tasks, but I soon found out that uncensored can also mean completely out of control. #BuildinPublic #HermesAgent #LMStudio #Qwen https://buymeacoffee.com/thesamaritanproject/build-log-37-when-uncensored-model-goes-out-of-control02 Jul 2026 17:14 +0000at://did:plc:rgzzbabbrkgvjftuinib6ida/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpojsyz5us2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/labb.run/post/3mphajbrgwk2tI thought following Anthropic's skill standard was a cheat code that meant build once, deploy anywhere.
