> Come back when hardware designed for ML training and/or interference with proper pytorch compatibility becomes readily available for hobbyists. In a way it's already here: regular cpu (and/or gpu) with enough RAM & storage can do it. But what specialized hardware could do: Bring whole classes of AI uses that don't need that much processing power, into reach of "roll your own, run locally & cut Google/MS/Amazon etc out of the loop". In a power-efficient manner. That could be a game changer for sure. I'm happy to see the weird & wonderful AI powered gadgets that will flood the market. But buy any? Will depend a lot on "does it enable company X to look over your shoulder 24/7, yes or no?".
