Start Building AI Now—No $10k Machine Needed
Alex bought a $10,000 Mac to run @openclaw with powerful local models. He isn’t alone. Know a guy with several NVIDIA H200’s in his house. Now that I am building I get it. Having your own local AI changes your whole approach to building with AI. I can’t afford that and running on cloud is OK, albeit easier and safer, but realized a cloud system is could complete a new business line which could make money to modernize. The real lesson is just start. You don’t need a $10,000 machine to build.
