I mean, I'm getting $180/mo worth of fun out of playing with it and figuring out what it can do that it's worth it.

Like, no one bats an eye at all the people paying $100/mo for Hulu + Live TV, or paying $350/mo for virtual pixels in candy crush / pokemon go / whatever, and I'm having at least that much fun in playing with openclaw.

Everyone in my circle would seriously bat an eye at all those numbers. Congrats on making it to the upper class.

In my circle you'd get called out for taking on a $350 car payment much less a mobile game.

I think quite a lot of people would bat an eyelid at those things.

If any of my friends admitted to spending $350/mo on candy crush i'd think that they'd badly need help for a gambling problem.

Just for reference: I pay 8€ for mobile, 40€ for internet and some occasional 5€ for VPNs each month. That's all the digital service subscriptions I'll need to have fun.

I think paying $180/month because you don't want to walk 10 feet to a light switch or forgot the name of a 25 yo Gorillaz song you just heard is absurdly stupid.

You could be doing for ALOT cheaper using something like minimax m2.7 for subagents. You dont need to be throwing all that cash out the door.

What are you using it for, seriously?

The things I want to use it for (like gathering weekly reports across a half dozen brokerage and bank accounts) are not things I'd trust it to do.
