An article about the "most fun" with a new toy ends after the first prompt response?

It might not be as fun after it makes a terrible mistake, breaks something of yours, spends your money, or runs up your token bill. Folks are reporting thousands of dollars in token costs for playing with OpenClaw.

Okay? I suppose your next soapbox lecture will be on combustible engines and how "noxious, noisy, unreliable, and elephantine" and how they vibrate so much they can "loosen ones dentures"?

You know these can be SELF-HOSTED, using LOCAL MODELS like Ollama? Or maybe your just like putting your two cents in without actually doing your own research.

Thanks bud!

I appreciate your Boomer humor and I get that you don't want to dampen the enthusiasm for these new tools. Nor do I, really, but I think it's disappointing to write an article with so little depth and perhaps unwise to not include any sort of caveats on its use. But that's just my view.
