I may be a middle-aged man, but I’ll admit that I appreciated the nonsensical, non-sequiturness of the whole 67 meme. It was funny, though I wasn’t enthralled with it like the young kids of today. But that’s cool, let them have their meme!

But now there’s a meme that I’m totally gung-ho for, like kids chanting “6-7! 6-7!” This one involves, of all things, the Mac mini, and, of all things, AI. Clawdbot is a free, open-source AI assistant that anyone can set up and use can run on any Windows or Linux PC, but if you’ve been following AI developments, then you know that the more processing power you can provide, the more you can get out of AI, which is where the Mac mini comes in.

And which leads to the meme: Pictures of stacks and stacks of Mac minis running Clawdbot as if it were an actual living being. The meme pokes fun at the hype AI has received. Some of the posts on social media will make you giggle like those 6-7 kids:

Others are just downright ridiculous:

Obviously, there’s a lot of AI-generated images being used and hyperbole about using Clawdbot, but Clawdbot is a real thing that has a lot of potential. MacStories has an excellent hands-on with Clawdbot, and you can download and use the software for free. (It’s now called Molbot, because Anthropic got mad.) However, it’s not the typical software you download, run an installer, and launch; it requires some serious tinkering. But if you’re up for it, you could unleash a powerful tool.
