you can spin similar instances very cheaply and billed only for the time openclaw actually runs in https://shellbox.dev ($0.02 for 2vcpu, 4gb ram, 50gb hdd, real linux with headless chrome etc)

Just gave this a try and I really like it. Was able to interact with Eve via iMessage and web UI to download a sample healthcare dataset and run some analyses on it. (Currently it's a bit unpredictable about which UI it returns results to, but if that gets fixed then this would be great for doing development on the move.) Also set it up to run some scheduled news summarisation tasks. I like how it allows for safe experimentation on OpenClaw functionality. Like others on this thread, I'm a bit hesitant about connecting to email services without knowing more about the developer and how they use data from connected services, but there's a lot of interesting things you can do with this even without connecting to anything. (The free credits are v helpful too, although the underlying Claude models burn through them quickly.) Thanks zachdive for sharing this, I had fun trying it out!

Boom, eve got Doom running for me on my VM and even spun up a public site

It's very telling of the current state of this industry that OP comes only 2 h after this other post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47721955

Autonomous LLM agents are not ready for business. Full stop.

Let me just log into this random site with my Google account with literally zero information about what it is

“All .new domain names are required to comply with the .new Registration Policy, which features a usage-based restriction to ensure that all domains are being used for new actions. That means that all .new domains registrations must: Be used for action generation or online content creation; Take the user directly into the action generation or content creation flow; Resolve to the action within 100 days of registration;* and Allow Google Registry to verify compliance at no cost. While anyone can register, domains that don’t comply with this usage policy may be suspended or deleted by Google Registry without refund. So be sure you review the full .new Registration Policy before you register your .new domain to ensure that it meets our policy requirements.”
