The whole internet is raising crayfish, and the first batch of victims has already appeared!
Recently, OpenClaw (commonly known as crayfish) has exploded in popularity in the internet community. Many people have jumped on the bandwagon due to FOMO (fear of missing out), resulting in the first batch of victims already appearing.
Many people raise crayfish for the purpose of making money or experiencing the thrill of being a boss and commanding AI to work. However, because crayfish require the highest computer permissions, the installation threshold is high and carries multiple hidden risks. Many people pay to have someone install it, leading to privacy breaches, file theft, and even devices being turned into bots. Some people also bind financial permissions like wallets to AI, getting tricked by scammers to transfer their assets, resulting in heavy losses.
Additionally, OpenClaw itself is free, but calling the large model API is billed per token, and the cost consumption far exceeds expectations.
It can be said that those who are currently making money by raising crayfish are all helping others install crayfish. Ordinary people who can't even install crayfish shouldn't expect to make money from it. It's better to wait and see, and enter the market when the technology is more mature and the thresholds are lower.
