Smells like 'Open'AI is digging another moat where there is none, like it did with the memory wafer deal that started RAMageddon. Heaven forbid people actually being able to run local models, can't run local models if 'Open'AI has bought all the capable smaller machines, taps head. Fuck SamA and his market cornering with a rusty chainsaw. I guess they think all they have to do is keep that moat somehow until IPO and then it's somebody else's problem, they and their investors cash out. Dear Goddess I hope it blows up in their faces.

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.

If you think you have to buy out consumer PC's like a Mac mini to protect your business that looks very desperate to me. I wouldn't give them any money if I were an investor. Hope this blows back.
