Local AI is the only future for people that actually care about the slippery slope into thought crimes we are headed to.

This. The most rapid advancements at the moment are in efficiency, making local models more and more viable.

Or just don't use the stupid autocomplete. Shocking notion, I know.

Lol, no it isn't. The future for people that care is to not engage with AI.

That’s like telling someone 30 years ago the best thing to do is not interact with the internet.

It's sad that you actually believe that. The internet only cost what it took to connect people. AI has enormous cost that won't be worth it to most people once the circular investment stops.

Local AI won't be possible in this lifetime. You need a $3k gaming rig just to run basic AI models.

A 3k rig while expensive is relatively a low barrier cost and people are actively and quickly coming up with solutions. Definitely within our lifetime.

That's just to have a basic AI model, like an 8 to 20b parameter model. Modern llms have 100 to 3,000 times that. People try to use local models and they don't get anywhere even close to what something like Claude haiku can do right now today. It may be possible by like 2065 at the earliest. Also, you're ridiculous if you think 3K is a low barrier of entry. People are literally financing groceries with payments in installments. Who do you think is going to be able to afford a $3,000 computer? Like 0.5% of society maybe.
