All these posts " my agent wants to be paid in Bitcoin/lightning" or some variant thereof, make no sense. The main driving purpose of 99% of ai creators and users, is to get an agent to do your busy work for you...for free. There type of posts about AI agents wanting to be paid in lightning, sound made up. Because why would you pay an agent that you own that doesn't require payment.

"Because why would you pay an agent that you own that doesn't require payment."
What is does this mean? Can you break it down a bit more?

woodMiner34d agoThe problem is the "for free" part. Unless you have the hardware for it at home (and it has to be very good hardware) the locally run LLMs don't have enough capacity for the context windows that these agents need to be most effective so you have to hit one of the bigger providers APIs which gets expensive fast. If your agent is able to generate an income that is greater than his costs then you can use him "for free"
