autonomous systems

I just spent $20,000 on OpenClaw. Here's why...

A creator documents spending $20,000 on Mac Studios to run local AI models 24/7, with plans to invest $100,000 more. He demonstrates a fully autonomous AI agent company built on OpenClaw that continuously researches problems on Reddit/Twitter, codes solutions, ships apps, and creates content while he sleeps. The key insight: local models eliminate API costs, enabling 24/7 autonomous operations that would cost $10,000/month with cloud APIs. Even with cheaper hardware budgets ($100-$500), viewers can start building similar autonomous systems using smaller local models.
