1. A TED talk by Peter Steinberger on his creation, Open Claw https://www.ted.com/talks/peter_steinberger_how_i_created_openclaw_the_breakthrough_ai_agent

OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger takes us back to the transformative moment he let his AI agent loose on the internet, igniting one of the world’s fastest-growing open-source projects. He makes a fascinating (and slightly unnerving) case that agents are a real shift, not just better versions of chatbots, and explores how they might reshape your ability to work, build and create. “The lobster is loose, and it’s not going back into the tank,” he says.

2. New to me, this one: the Digital Museum of Learning https://www.museumoflearning.org/

A museum for children and educators: our online exhibitions feature interactive stories about learning and education that engage students, teachers, and museum lovers. We bring the history and science of learning to life on screen.
