Github doesn't show timestamps in the UI, but they do in the HTML.

Looking at the timeline, I doubt it was really autonomous. More likely just a person prompting the agent for fun.

If it was really an autonomous agent it wouldn't have taken five hours to type a message and post a blog. Would have been less than 5 minutes.

It depends. Many people run OpenClaw agent with a cron job, so it won’t consume too many tokens too quickly. In this case it’s exactly 5 hours.

It isn't exactly 5 hours, it's got a +/-10 minute window.

Depends on how they set it up. They probably put some delays on the actions so they don't spend too much money.

Unrelated tip for you: `title` attributes are generally shown as a mouseover tooltip, which is the case here. It's a very common practice to put the precise timestamp on any relative time in a title attribute, not just on Github.

Unfortunately title isn't visible on mobile. Extremely annoying to see a post that says "last month" and want to know if it was 7 weeks ago or 5 weeks ago. Some sites show title text when you tap the text, other sites the date is a canonical link to the comment. Other sites it's not actually a title at all l but alt text or abbr or other property.

Unrelated too: Not everything can be a fit for mobile. Sigh.

Oh nice. Yea I was annoyed it didn't show the actual timestamp. But suppose I didn't hover long enough.

Depends on if they hit their Claude Code limit, and its just running on some goofy Claude Code loop, or it has a bunch of things queued up, but yeah I am like 70% there was SOME human involvement, maybe a "guiding hand" that wanted the model to do the interaction.

Thank you for the discovery.
