Given RAM shortages, I really have to wonder how long that 24GB RAM offer is sticking around...

    Yeah, Oracle’s free tier is much more generous than any other cloud provider. They’ve offered that amount of ram for at least a couple years now but we’ll see.

If this is using Claude, 4 cores and 24GB RAM is massive overkill for running the gateway.

Oh boy.

1. It’s not 0$ a month if you suggest a 20$ Claude pro subscription at the end that is necessary to run "always-on ai" as you can not run any local models on that instance.

2. So you harden the server but run all of your files through an external provider (anthropic) that you have zero control over and do not even give people a disclaimer about the dangers of doing so?

And on top of that you upload everything unencrypted to Google Drive as backup.

Oh boy.

Just because you can do something it’s not always a good idea to do it Ryan.

Did you come up with this genius tutorial yourself or did you ask Claude to write it?

You can just zip all your files up and send them directly to either the NSA or the kremlin if you talk to your bot on Telegram or WhatsApp like this.

I’m looking forward to read all the shit you write and upload when it ends up on the darknet, because the vibe coding scriptkid gang of 2026 that follows 0$ tutorials installed malware ridden clawdbot skills after following your tutorial.

Educating people is a noble thing, but this is the equivalent of giving an 8-year old a loaded gun and he says bang bang while pointing it at your face.

You need to teach people of proper handling and the dangers of a weapon before you hand it to them. Openclaw or whatever it is called tomorrow is a loaded gun.

    Thanks for your feedback. You can run local models on the instance. https://medium.com/@viplav.fauzdar/running-multiple-open-sou...

      Technically, you can also put diesel in a regular gas car. Is that a good idea? Nope.

      Don’t try to move the goalposts here.

      If those local models with 4b params could do anything useful in the broader range of having a "personal ai assistant" (your words) then why use the 20$ Claude pro subscription and not the local models?

      We both know the answer.

      You wanted to provide a Tutorial for a 0$ instance "working ai assistant", that could actually do things like "check email, manage files, run scripts". According to your own words.

      Now please prove it that you can run a useful ai assistant at 0$ with those local models.
