"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I suppose the point is that those are mostly selling location and networking, the processing is essentially incidental.
They don't have reason to mind consumers being able to have lots of processing, memory, and storage. They have plenty of hooks to track the users and gain control of their data, and tracking users and holding their content hostage is very profitable without having to fight users.
Self hosting isn't a threat to them, local gaming rigs isn't a threat.
