There's no point in an AI generating consumer device, the compute can just be in the cloud.

- ask5531 3y agosounds a bit like "there is a world market for 50 computers" the main reason for me would be no need to pay and also no one censoring the content
- CuriouslyC 3y agoIf you are serious enough about gen AI to want to run it locally you can just get a good video card. Otherwise, you'll save time and money by just using a service/collab, I promise you that there will be ones that offer privacy and uncontrolled generation.

- gessha 3y ago“There’s no point in personal computing consumer device, the compute can just be on a mainframe.” Apologize for the allergic reaction to running something on somebody else’s computer. As much as I appreciate our connected world, I prefer my data and compute local and private. There’s few things in this world that infuriate me on a daily basis more than a slow or lost internet connection. Edit: grammar
- CuriouslyC 3y agoWhile I appreciate the sentiment, the market of people like you who are ALSO unwilling to just purchase a GPU is probably miniscule.
- gessha 3y agoOh, I don’t mind getting a GPU. I also don’t believe it’s right at the moment to build a machine just for AI activities. I was commenting more on the idea to run AI in the cloud instead of on device.
- yencabulator 3y agoThe grandparent asked for 'a consumer box that can run "AI"', there's no reason to think they wouldn't accept a box that contains a GPU.
