"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.

A lot of people won't have a computer/phone to make use of AI because of this ๐คฃ
That's the goal, once you can't outright afford the hardware what do you think happens?
Subscriptions of course, much like the phone "contracts" of today, now you can rent a PC, or better yet subscribe to a cloud instance of a PC.
You'd still need to subscribe to the LLM of course, but that'd be easier if it was bundled with your cloud computer subscription.
Then comes the software bundles, because they can't just have you installing whatever you want on their cloud machines, that's leaving money on the table.
Eventually with the next generation, or the one after that it will become normalised, just another thing you can't own because fuck you, that's why.

Thin clients for all!
well they are passing around money to each other over and over again, until there is none.
