It’s been 8 days since I bought my Mac mini for OpenClaw 🦞
Here’s what I’m bleeding on: 🩸
> Mac mini - $600 (one-time)
> Claude Opus - $200/mo (max plan)
> Kimi K2.5 - $10/mo (actually carrying me)
> OpenAI Codex + GPT - $20/mo
> Gemini API - $10/mo
> MiniMax 2.5 - $10/mo (testing)
> Z. AI (GLM-5) – $30/mo (bulk worker)
> X Research API - $10/mo
> Brave Search API - $5/mo
> Supabase - $25/mo (was a test, regretted it)
> SuperGrok - $40/mo (just pumping the numbers)
> Suno API - $10/mo (music arc pending)
> Midjourney - $11.5/mo (useless)
> HiggsField - $52/mo (no clue. vibes only)
> Random AWS instance I forgot - $20/mo
> OnlyFans - $49.95 (for reasrch purposes)
> Gym - $80/mo (ofc I would add it)
Total burn ≈ $1,183/mo 🔻
Am I net negative right now?
- Yes.
Did the Mac generate money yet?
- Not measurable yet.
Did it make me feel like I control the future?
- eh, maybe later, let's see
End-of-month update coming.
If revenue > burn → genius
If burn > revenue → I am cooked
Either way, we building ... (I guess)
