There's no mention of RAM upgrades. If we bought RAM already at the old prices, are they being increased as well? The current pricing for RAM has more than quadrupled since January.

> if you aren’t using AI extensively in your workflow, you are essentially trying to build a career with one hand tied behind your back. This would have been an interesting comment to make two years ago.

Can you elaborate on “listen for changes”? AFAIK it can’t do that and needs cron jobs to check.

Is there any developer experience on Apple products that isn’t bad?

You can't write "autonomous agents often fail" and then advertise "AI agents that perform complex multi-step tasks autonomously" on the same site.

But the article is from 2024! So someone at MS saw this thread?

We found that it works great for scraping but it's not so great for development. git worktrees in a VM are much faster over spinning up new containers with an existing codebase.

Ahh, that makes sense. Yeah you likely have a very different business model. We're more using them as "AI employees" that help us with tasks. Currently running 4 of these VMs but planning to add more. Note that each VM has a

As far as I'm concerned, it's already here.

For us, we actually moved away from k8s to dedicated VMs on Proxmox for our agents. We initially had a containerized environment manager running in k8s, but found that VMs give you things containers struggle with: full desktop environments

Looks good! I'm curious, are customers fine with their data going to third-party LLM providers?

OpenClaw already does all these things and better. It can run 24/7 in one (or more) VMs that I control from my phone, without extra cost.

Is this really a valid outcome, given the facts in the article?

by ed_mercer 8mo ago
Hmm. Perhaps it serves as a commitment to post about this publicly? And as one other person mentioned, you have a far better chance of beating this today than just a few years ago, especially with some money and connections. >It leads to

You should look at some Copilot reviews.

nods . nods again . Yep, this is exactly why we left GitHub for GitLab two years ago. Not one moment of regret. Still, I wonder who is still looking manually at CI build logs. You can use an agent to look for you, and immediately let it c

The author is a bit extreme for expecting apple to have done something as complex as ooenclaw, not even OpenAI or Anthropic have really done it yet. However this does not excuse Apple to sit with their thumbs up their asses for all these ye

Yep, there is zero reason to use mac mini’s. It’s way more cost effective to rent one (or more!) small VMs the cloud.

Haha yeah I noticed too late :P

Then how do you explain the massive growth of Claude Code?

If you run openclaw on a spare laptop or VM and give it read only access to whatever it needs, doesn’t that eliminate most of the risk?
