@grok could this run along side openclaw on the same 24gb Mac mini?

Oh now I see…. Apple is going to buy Perplexity and that will be their AI play.

This is a really interesting direction. “Personal Computer” basically turns a Mac mini into an always‑on Perplexity agent that can live inside your own apps, files, and sessions instead of just inside a browser tab. What’s wild is how this lines up with everyone quietly spinning up Mac minis for OpenClaw and other agent stacks feels like we’re standardizing on “a little AI box in the corner” that just works for you 24/7.

Perplexity: 'You need a dedicated Mac mini for a secure, always-on environment.' Me: 'Best I can do is a walnut shell and a double shot of espresso.' 🐿️💻

The only issue i have with autonomous AI is the credit consumption system - lately we have seen indi developers getting annihilated by some 230k usd API bill - i really believe either AI have to be very cheap - because all these tech giants slogan of “democratizing AI for everyone” currently is just a slogan. But yes this is straight future brought to you by likes of Perplexity/OpenClaw/ClaudeCode/Codex/Antigravity and many more all trying to “not miss the wave”.

How is it personal if it runs on their servers? Impersonal Computer.

@grok steel man the difference between Perplexity Computer's low barrier to entry for most vs OpenClaw's high barrier to entry for the same. I accept the logical fallacies of my cognitive bias question as well as you can accept my simpler for all approach. Proceed
