You realise how many people in Europe do own a car? And how exactly has the privacy war been lost?

People seem to miss that with local models you can have them burning their wee digital brains out 24/7, which is a different class of AI usage than that from online models even at a few dollars per million tokens.

Never say never. When the free money party stops, then those token costs are going to have to go up and up. The fact there’s such a glaring disparity between the cost of running AI locally and the pennies it costs to use an online model sho

Nah we’re in like desktop PCs in the 90s type days - bit clunky and maybe occasionally having to work out what an IRQ number is, but a long long way from hand-toggling switches just to get a “hello world” punched out onto paper tape. You ca

Well if all that was taken away from you and you had to go to the bank to ask for the money to rebuild so you could become as productive as you are now, what would that cost and would the bank loan you the money?

It’s completely shared so the OS and everything else takes up maybe 8GB of the RAM. On a 64GB machine you can run models about 45GB in size and still have space for those models run other tasks which themselves might need ram. To a user, th

Local LLMs running in LM Studio on a MacBook Pro work great, if you’re prepared to wait for the answers because using an LLM locally is much much slower than having the instant results appear when using an online LLM like ChatGPT or Claude.

The web is only a minuscule part of cyberspace. Once millions of people have an AI supercomputer running a graphical node at home in 3-10 years time, then cyberspace will finally start IMO. The web will look like a catalogue file in compari

When I’ve read about these philosophers it seems often like they’re there to affirm whatever needs to be affirmed, rather than doing the philosopher’s actual role of finding extreme fault in whatever you’re doing and showing how unsound the

I can’t believe this article hasn’t been written by ChatGPT. The author claims to have written it but has clearly become completely captured by the awful generic style of AI writing.

The only thing you’re neglecting is that personal computers will be able to run “good enough” open source models locally within 3 years. Can already run it today.

It’s great technology for long-term archiving. “Look ahead” to determine optimal groove spacing doesn’t have to be done digitally, even though digital makes this much simpler. I’d guess that musicians and producers using an all-analogue rec
