I know she's exaggerating but this post yet again underscores how nobody understands that it is training AI which is computationally expensive. Deployment of an AI model is a comparable power draw to running a high-end videogame. How can people hope to fight back against things they don't understand?
It's closer to running 8 high-end video games at once. Sure, from a scale perspective it's further removed from training, but it's still fairly expensive.
really depends. You can locally host an LLM on a typical gaming computer.
Yeh but those local models are usually pretty underpowered compared to the ones that run via online services, and are still more demanding than any game.
