If the option of owning my own computer is taken I'll own old computers. If they somehow take that away I'm giving up and moving to a cabin in the woods.

#24I am kinda using LLM for code generation, but the moment I will have the chance (Smaller models or cheaper hardware), I am hosting it locally, because I don't want to give anyone my data.
Currently I am solving this problem by having like 6 AI services and drip-feeding each one with a little bit of problem so there is no context apparent from the queries.

#25Biggest cloud vendor wants everyone to subscribe to his services. Well yeah of course. He has to say that, it's literally his job. But no for me never. I hate cloud.

The clouders are already front running and scalping the hardware retail, just like scalpers were doing to GPUs during crypto. Today's excuse is AI but it's the same process, just on an industrial scale - the clouders buy in bulk at low prices, create shortages and exorbitant retail pricing, which forces you to buy from them, providing the…
Which is going to work, only if people will buy into it. However if they won't (see Google Stadia or Micrslop's crying about people refusing Copilot) then whole thing will just implode into a lot of cheap hardware everywhere.
