The hardware to do that locally would be 1/4th the cost or less of current prices if cloud AI companies did not buy up hardware they did not need to starve the market and drive prices up.

Nvidia is the the villain here and we just found out Jensen is a chinese spy who seems to have purposely increased production so there would be enough excess to smuggle into china. To make it work, he had to force US companies to buy unneeded hardware to invent fake demand. If most of the hardware is sitting unused in warehouses, it is far easier for nvidia to smuggle higher volumes into china without anyone noticing.

I think if the new congress investigates and builds a case against jensen, that would disrupt the collusion and prices would come down fast. Any successful business is using local llms and sees no future with cloud ai. I read that AT&T is up to 60% local llms and is reducing use of cloud ai. Most companies will be doing that.

Explain the efficiency of spending billions on power plants and grid upgrades that you only need because you are centralizing gpus.

You do not get to exclude the power grid costs. That is the core of the grift. They are trying to get data centers connected to the grid as fast as possible with contracted kwh rates so everyone else on the grid would end up paying higher rates. They can contract for existing wind power at 2 cents a kwh, then other businesses and residential customers paying for the peaker plants and grid upgrades.

You don't have to build a single data center or build power plants to keep gpus at home.

The 100x multiplier is complete nonsense. There is no truth to it. They are still running power through chips on the same nm scale. It is not saving anything. A gpu in a home only needs to run when you have it do something, so its much more efficient. OpenAI doesn't even use its current data centers, that is why they have internal teams using lots of gpu resources to front run other people's accomplishments. Those gpus are otherwise sitting idle.

You cannot claim a rented llm for $200 a month is cheaper and more efficient than a $1300 gpu you buy once and use for the cost of electricity.

You leave out the cost to the consumer, the fact that the consumer still needs home internet, electricity, and a computer to use cloud AI. Your "efficient" service didn't eliminate anything and is using the same amount of power to process the same amount of bits.

Large data centers never made sense. If an additional pc with a graphics card was put into every home, we wouldn't need power grid upgrades. Our power grid is designed around human distribution i.e. homes. Large data centers cherry pick where it may be possible to quickly connect power connections up. Data centers need to secure their power connections before the utility rate hikes on everyone else generate public opposition.

If large data centers cannot secure free power connections paid for by everyone else, they cannot make any of this profitable. The whole thing was a scam from the start. This is why cloud AI companies bought up so much pc and server hardware. Artificial scarcity was the only way to slow down local llm adoption and sell the false narrative that cloud AI has value.

Plucking a graphics card out of every home and centralizing the cards to a handful of large data centers that require a trillion dollars in power grid upgrades is an idea so dumb, we should all be laughing at it. They even have to use active cooling or evaporate drinking water instead of free air cooling. The consumer doesn't benefit in any way from this. Consumers would essentially be paying more just to be datamined.

LLMs are not a bubble, large data centers are a bubble. Look at how large data centers are now the first target in any war. A graphics card in every home, doesn't give someone a concentrated target. National security makes large data centers extremely bad.

This is good. This is how I would expect llms to affect a codebase. Nothing sucks more than having a coworker put out a code review but your codex immediately finds problems. Run llm/self reviews against your code before you have other humans review it. It is common courtesy.

You can have a better solution, but customers don't normally pay for that and CEOs don't care or understand. AI improves what businesses don't care about.

AI is going to effectively let random people compete and displace big tech companies with free software they simply release. This is why google wants to lock android down, they see it coming. CEO led companies with layers of management and lots of investors are obsolete. We are going to go back to teams of 1-6 people doing all the work on their own like in the 90s.

The real flaw is the corporate structure. We don't need CEOs or execs that manage company direction. These people are useless due to AI.

The people who know how to get AI to make usable and viable solutions are the only people who should be running anything and their employees should be all doing the same.

A company should be built around people who can vibe engineer real end user products that are deploy-able and high quality.

Non-coding people are simply done now that AI can replace all of their "ideas", but cannot replace the engineer making the real decisions with the ideas that actually matter.

Not shareholders. The CEO of the company and the CEOs of top investment firms are making the operation decisions to enrich themselves. The shareholders that paid money for their stock are the bag holders. The people getting rich whether a company succeeds or fails didn't invest a dime of personal money into the company.

First, it doesn't matter what city council wants to do. They cannot force anyone into an HOA.

Second, it sounds like you are saying they need to run for their HOA to end it and run for city council to tax rich people again so we can pay for basic bare minimum services again. Giving tax breaks for the rich and telling people to form an HOA for garbage collection is not a solution to anything. Vote out the current people who set this nonsense up.

People could vote to weaken HOAs so that people could have a way to leave HOAs when they are not providing value to home owners. We don't have to let corporate owners of residential property or landlords that do not live in their properties have any HOA voting rights. HOAs are currently used by builders to control homeowners.

This should flip to the HOA being used by residents to control builders and landlords. Builders would stop using HOAs if they could not control them, just like it used to be when houses were built just fine without HOAs.

Voting for billionaire conspiracies is more important to a lot of people than voting for themselves.

Except that work would be cheaper to set up and the cost would drop over time if they were using local llms. Every dollar paid to a 3rd party rental service is a dollar that is burned in the fireplace. We are paying more for the right to be stuck paying more forever, it's ridiculous.

Not a discount at all. Every dollar for a rented service is being flushed down the toilet. Industry is moving to local llms, the government should have been ahead of them.

Google is going to be the reddit and discord search tool. It's useless for everything else.

These stories feel like someone purposely doing HR wrong because they hate equality or fairness.

At some point we will be able to scrape the moon for helium or be able to manufacturer it with fusion reactors. None of that currently exists or has a path to exist. It would be a mistake for us to not force collection of that helium today. The oil and gas industry is swimming in cash because of iran. They can afford to collect it.

We should have mandatory recycling for all uses. Every use of helium should have to build recollection into their workflows.

The problem with profit in the tech sector is that they reduced payroll to boost the stock and enrich the single CEO.

They don't have the people. That is why all the big players keep using financing nonsense to buy everyone up. Killing competition is all the monopolists have left.

I recommend anyone to watch the two parter in season 2 for the fall of reach. The entire existence of this show is worth for those two episodes.

Microslop really must think they are irreplaceable.

I ended up finding some projects for samsung tvs. Not sure if they can help clean them up, but they do seem to allow installing your own apps and controlling the tv.

There a good user or post to look at? X is barely accessible for anything.

Have you tried to see what things an llm suggests for improving or investigated new features? You can spitball with an agent working on the actual code and see where that goes.

Can't anyone customize the source of grapheneOS and simultaneously get a phone that is not trying to disable itself?

AI is local. They need to invest in procuring hardware, which means making it themselves if that is the only way to get a card in every computer that can do the job.

If cloud based AI is any good, they will sell versions that can be hosted locally just like every other service since the beginning of the internet.

Any university that has not banned these while offering local hosted models is stealing from you. The last thing a real university would do is allow a 3rd party to datamine all the students to destroy their careers before they graduate.

Universities used to do all this stuff in house with super computers, computing labs, personal webspace, email, search engines, etc.

A wait of 24hrs is not an opt out, it is a demonstration of absolute control.

Name the city because this makes no sense. You claim private utility companies are actually installing infrastructure? Or are they just resellers that provide nothing?

The only reason cities are having issues with water and electricity is because we cut taxes on the rich. Wages went down and service quality got cut to make the CEOs richer. The US has been coasting on all the infrastructure built in the 50-60s when we had a 90% federal income tax rate and CEOs were capped at making the 2026 equivalent of 5 mil a year. Tax dodging was stopped, everything was funded and life was affordable.

I don't consider it extrajudicial. Kushner should be charged with crimes in the united states. It is not extrajudicial just because the US is corrupt and won't prosecute kushner. Had that prosecution happened, everything the dutch did would be evidence against kushner.

I don't see why the dutch have any obligation to avoid monitoring a compromised phone that the US lets happen. The dutch have every right to know what the russians are getting from that phone.

You are picking the wrong case for your cause.

Rentals are not solid deals. They are designed to hamper ownership and force you to rent forever. At least be honest and say you think monopolies should be able to make hardware artificially unaffordable so people are forced to pay subscription fees instead.

Wage theft is a real crime and you don't get to rename it because your feelings are somehow hurt. Calling taxation "theft" is just vapid right wing mccarythism. Rich people paid mccarthy money to lie over and over again because at the time it was illegal to broadcast those lies on tv or radio. But a senator was immune and could lie all they wanted.

You are never going to be right about anything if you actually think what you posted makes any sense.

Then charge them cleanly and don't artificially try to inflate charges. It is the duty of any jury to let someone off when they feel its malicious prosecution.

Police, Prosecutors, and Judges all openly use their discretion. Each of them could have quashed the charge before it got to a jury. The jury is the last line of discretion. Police, prosecutors, and judges love to call it "jury nullification" but its the same power that police, prosecutors, and judges use multiple times a day.

The only crime I see is that police arrested an innocent person on false evidence, prosecutors charged someone based on false evidence, and a judge is actually allowing this case to proceed all based on evidence that everyone knows is false.

People did vote for their property taxes to go up when they voted for republicans to cut taxes on billionaires. The republicans did not stop wars, foreign spending, or wasteful spending, they stopped domestic spending on things regular people needed.

Property taxes automatically goes up to cover the missing federal dollars, that is why property taxes are skyrocketing. Republicans cut federal income taxes and made it easier for CEOs to earn unlimited tax free money.

Property taxes have to pay for everything local that back in the 1950s was all taxpayer funded federally because we had a 90% federal income tax bracket and post-1929 financial regulations. Stock buybacks were illegal and CEOs could not pay themselves in stock and bubble the stock price to enrich themselves. When rich people shift money out of pockets of people who pay taxes to their own pockets where they pay no taxes, they defund the entire tax base and property taxes skyrocket. GDP is still at record highs and companies are posting record profits, but CEOs can run these companies so they and their insiders take all the money.

All the protections have been gutted by the republican party. We are back to the late 20s entering a new great depression. Removing the policies that ended the great depression is how you create a new great depression.
