Why would I spend a lot of money, space, and maintenance time for a computer with a good GPU when I can just use any of the two internet connections I'm already paying for? I'm already trusting corporations to read my email, and no ChatGPT answer can get more personal than that.
This is also why I think cloud gaming is only going to become more popular.
There's a stronger resistance to cloud than ever before after all the leaks, hacks and pushed agendas.
These models aren't cheap to host and they'll lose to free local models that don't have boundaries or agendas. Cloud AIs inevitably will try and monetise by selling you crap or be funded to shape your opinions.
What? No it isn’t. One company failing doesn’t mean the industry has crashed and burned. I use Xbox cloud gaming all the time along with millions of other people.
Hard to make any assumptions out of this.most people I know definitely sync there data onto companies cloud storage.
Alone for image backups and sharing and etc. No one minds that.
No one minds mail analysis either.
Cloud is healthy, very healthy
We already push back on targeted advertising and tracking, think what AI is capable of with your data. If its writing your emails, if its summarising for you, if its consulting for you...
It can push agendas and influence. Its quite dangerous.
These models need to be local as much as possible and they need to be better than what the cloud can offer.
At least for me this isnt one the decentralised Internet can take if we don't want to go down the dystopian future route.
It's a thing on HN loop.
