Like many, I am not overly bearish "on ai" - I am bearish on an "ai-focused laptop in late 2024." I think what you say is roughly true and maybe in six months I'll be wishing my portable computer ran AI faster, but I don't feel that way now. As you say, the full client-side experiences are still in development and, I would wager, more than six months away. Other attempts at "local AI" from less skilled hardware designers have not impressed me and, though I'm eager to see what Apple comes up with, I see no reason to get excited yet.
- modeless 3y agoI agree that the most compelling applications are more than six months away. But I hope that a computer I buy now will last a lot longer than that. I don't upgrade my computer every two years anymore like in the 90s, and I don't want to go back to that. Three or four years from now I think you'll be feeling pretty left out if your computer can't run much AI.
- fragmede 3y agoIt's relative though. I mean, how excited for an M4 without LLM capabilities are you though? Or an iPhone 16 that's basically the same as the 15 or the 14 with better specs?
