I think something like this could make sense as a place to run large machine learning models locally. I don't need a server to run my browser or my apps, they run just fine locally. But a server to run large language models, Stable Diffusion, Whisper voice recognition, etc would be useful, as these types of models can run much faster at higher quality on a beefy GPU than they ever will on a phone. The endgame of these models is an agent that knows practically everything about me and can perform tasks on my behalf, which I would really prefer to live in my house running on hardware I own, rather than in a data center under someone else's control.

Precisely, data will become the ultimate material, from chemputers [1] to neural laces, it's all data, and having the user be the true absolute owner of it, as in actually owning the database, is paramount for any sane future use and development of technology. More thoughts and some code on this [2]. After the user owns a server capable of storing the databases and the function execution contexts (see deserve functions) for all their services, having also pixels rendered there and sent to thin clients it's just a matter of convenience and security: no more worries that the device you carry all day can be broken or stolen, it's just a low-cost piece of glass with an uplink to your server.
