pretty strong disagree; Apple can't afford to potentially start an AI apocalypse because it tried to launch an OpenClaw type service without making it impossible for prompt-injection or agent identity hijacking to happen as we're seeing with Moltbook

Let OpenClaw experiment and beta test with the hackers who won't mind if things go sideways (risk of creating Skynet aside), and once we've collectively figured out how to create such a system that can act powerfully on behalf of its users but with solid guardrails, then Apple can implement it.

Apple is too risk adverse and it’s because of the ceo not being able to properly communicate to shareholders the importance of things like agentic ai. Steve job was a guy who took calculated risk

You need a super efficient and integrated empowered model private and offline. The whole architecture hardware distribution supply chain has to be rewritten to make this work the way people want.

What's the difference between a Mac Mini and a MacBook in clamshell mode for this? I get the aesthetic appeal of the mini, but beyond that, what's unique about the mini for personal use?

Price. For a given CPU and RAM the mini is cheaper. Why pay more for portability you aren't going to use.

True. I had assumed that mini prices had gone higher than they're at right now.

I remember Sam Altman saying, a few months back, that only Apple has the potential to become the biggest player in AI. I'm surprised that Apple couldn't decode that.

Apple can't hand wave away prompt injection attacks. They would be absolute fools to deploy the technology as it exists now at their scale.

Newbie question .. how much ram do u need for tbis on mac minis? I thought u had soldered ram these days. So arent people limited by that?

It depends on whether you're running the models locally. If you're just using a Claude or OpenAI token (as probably 95%+ of OpenClaw users are), the RAM requirements are minimal. My first-gen M1 Mac Mini runs it just fine.

Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair.

Man this is rough, I spend a year with a folding phone on android and the AI integration was amazing. Just switched back to iOS and it’s just sad.
