OpenClaw AI Assistant on a...

Jake Morrison

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. If you've been hesitant to deploy your own AI assistant because you're afraid of unpredictable costs spiraling out of control, this practical guide will change everything. OpenClaw AI Assistant on a Budget shows you exactly how to run a capable, always-available self-hosted AI agent for under $100 per month, and in many cases, for as little as $5 to $30.

Written by Jake Morrison, a full-stack engineer with over 14 years of experience, this no-nonsense handbook cuts through the hype and gives you actionable strategies that work in the real world. No theory, no fluff, just proven tactics from someone who has been building production systems since 2009.

What You'll Master:

Learn how to leverage Oracle Cloud free tier and budget VPS providers like Hetzner to host your agent without breaking the bank. Discover which hosting options can run OpenClaw at no ongoing cost and which paid alternatives offer the best value for guaranteed uptime.

Master OpenRouter API integration to access hundreds of AI models with a single key, making it simple to switch between cheap AI models like Claude Haiku, GPT-4o mini, and Gemini Flash for routine tasks while reserving premium models for complex reasoning.

Understand exactly where your tokens go and how to implement AI cost optimization strategies. You'll learn to trim system prompts, compact session history, and optimize bootstrap files to eliminate wasteful spending without sacrificing your agent's intelligence.

Discover the hidden cost of always-on features like heartbeats and cron jobs on budget configurations. You'll see how improper heartbeat settings can silently burn $50-100 per month and how to configure them properly for maximum efficiency.

Get three complete AI agent deployment templates: ultra-low-cost (under $5/month), regular usage ($8-15/month), and power user setups ($30-60/month) with real numbers and practical examples you can implement immediately.

Why AI Undermines Democracy and...

Mark Coeckelbergh

Across the world, AI is used as a tool for political manipulation and totalitarian repression. Stories about AI are often stories of polarization, discrimination, surveillance, and oppression. Is democracy in danger? And can we do anything about it? 
 
   
 
In this compelling and balanced book, Mark Coeckelbergh reveals the key risks posed by AI for democracy. He argues that AI, as currently used and developed, undermines fundamental principles on which liberal democracies are founded, such as freedom and equality. How can we make democracy more resilient in the face of AI? And, more positively, what can AI do for democracy? Coeckelbergh advocates not only for more democratic technologies, but also for new political institutions and a renewal of education to ensure that AI promotes, rather than hinders, the common good for the twenty-first century. 
 
  
 
Why AI Undermines Democracy and What to Do About It is a must-listen for anyone who is concerned about the fate of democracy.
