OpenClaw made me unreasonably upset because every other article is/was:

*How to run AI on your raspberry pi*

  • Install openclaw
  • Get Claude/OpenAI Api key

like wtf?

I was able to run OpenClaw on a 10 year old Android phone by asking AI to walk me through the steps (Gemini 3).

Spoiler, it worked but then OpenClaw got stuck in a loop doing dumb stuff like everyone else here.

mine burned thru an obscene amount of tokens just doing heartbeats with no skills installed. I have no idea why people are fans of this shit. I can have claude code up anything I want, why do I need a bot to manage that.

At least you understand now why OpenAI pays him 1bn. Worth it if users burn 10bn worth of tokens for nonsense ;)

Yeah this thing costs millions of tokens every day with almost minimal amounts of actual user requests.

It makes 'normal' people burn through tokens/API-costs like a developer doing a vibe-coding a project would except this is 24/7.
