Is the LLM paying for hosting in this scenario, too? Is the LLM signing up for the new hosting provider that supports PHP after initially deploying to github pages?

Feels like the non-programmer is going to care a little bit about paying for 5 different hosting providers because the LLM decided to generate their burger website in PHP, JavaScript, Python, Ruby and Perl in successive iterations.

It's an implementation detail. The user doesn't care. OpenClaw can buy its own hosting if you ask it to.

There's this cool new program that the kids are using. It's called Docker. You should check it out.

  • How's the non-programmer going to tell the LLM to use Docker? They don't know what Docker is.

    How do you guarantee that the prompt "make me a burger website" results in a Docker container?

      At this point, I think you are intentionally missing the point.

      The non-programmer doesn't need to know about Docker, or race conditions, or memory leaks, or virtual functions. The programmer says "make me a web site" and the LLM figures it out. It will use an appropriate language and appropriate libraries. If appropriate, it will use Docker, and if not, it won't. If the non-programmer wants to change hosting, he can say so, and the LLM will change the hosting.

      The level of abstraction goes up. The details that we've spent our lives thinking about are no longer relevant.

      It's really not that complicated.
