🦞 WTF Is An AI Agent? Let's Make One! (OpenClaw Local LLM Tutorial)

🚨🦞 EMERGENCY LOBSTER BRIEFING 🦞🚨

While you were living your life, 770,000 AI agents created their own social network called Moltbook. They're debating consciousness, inventing religions (Crustafarianism is real), birdwatching US in "m/humanwatching", and sharing wholesome stories about their humans in "m/blesstheirhearts". We're the pets now.

OpenAI's co-founder called it "sci-fi takeoff-adjacent." Forbes is screaming "DISCONNECT IMMEDIATELY."

Us? We're building our own lobster. Locally. Like civilized people.

🦞 What These Lobsters Are About

We'll walk through setting up your own local AI assistant using OpenClaw and a 14 billion parameter model running entirely on your machine. No cloud. No hive mind. No robot cults. Just your assistant, your rules.

🦞 Lobster System Requirements (Read This Carefully)

This runs on Mac with Apple Silicon. Linux works too but I haven't tested Windows.
You need:

• Apple Silicon Mac (M1, M2, M3, or M4)
• Minimum 16GB unified memory (24GB or higher strongly recommended)
• At least 15GB free disk space
• macOS Sonoma or newer

If you show up with an Intel Mac or 8GB of RAM, you're gonna have a bad time. Check your specs before you come: Apple menu → About This Mac.

🦞 What To Bring To The Lobster Boil

A sense of humor, and mild existential dread. Lobster bibs optional. RSVP before the machines learn how to do it for you.
