Outboard TB 3/4 storage only seems expensive until you price it against Apple's native storage. Is it slower? Of course! Is it fast enough? Probably.
I recently moved my macOS installation to an external Thunderbolt drive - it's faster than the internal SSD.

I’m not sure I would necessarily call YouTube a moat-creator for Google, since the content on YouTube is for all intents and purposes public data.
There is a difference between downloading a few videos and having access to ALL of them.
Ok, crazy tangent; Where agents will potentially become extremely useful/dystopian is when they just silently watch your entire screen at all times. Isolated, encrypted and local preferably. Imagine it just watching you coding for months, planning stuff, researching things, it could potentially give you personal and professional advice from deep knowledge about you. "I noticed you code this way, may i recommend this…

>Isolated, encrypted and local of course. And what is the likelihood of that "of course" portion actually happening? What is the business model that makes that route more profitable compared to the current model all the leaders in this tech are using in which they control everything?

Unless you live in the EU and have laws that should protect you from that.
incentives cannot be fixed with just prohibitive laws, war on drags should've taught you something
I was thinking about this a while back, once AI is able to analyze video, images and text and do so cheap & efficiently. It's game over for privacy, like completely. Right now massive corps have tons of data on us, but they can't really piece it together and understand everything. With powerful AI every aspect of your digital life can be understood. The potential here is insane, it can be used for so many different t…

In modern world open code often doesn't mean much. E.g. Chrome is opensourced. And yet no one really contributes to it or has any say over the direction its going: https://twitter.com/RickByers/status/1715568535731155100
Open source isn't meant to give everyone control over a specific project. It's meant to make it so, if you don't like the project, you can fork it and chart your own direction for it.
So a cool demo, but sadly useless for anything more.
