>I’d disagree with this being targeted toward normies. Reread the release. The first demographic in their copy is toward developers

I'm using "normies" to describe people who are not developers and they would not install something like OpenClaw on a Mac mini.

E.g. the OpenAI's 2-minute marketing video for Dot trying to show non-developers using AI assistants to get tasks done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXspbC2srEQ

A man wants his website changed, and a woman wants her presentation slides updated. "Serious engineers" don't need cutesy re-incarnated mascots of Microsoft's Bob or MS Office Clippy paperclip assistants. OpenAI dots doesn't have to win over HN techies who are comfortable with CLI tools.
