That isn’t the point…
It really depends. A local machine is guaranteed to not have issues if the general internet goes down. It’s also going to reduce latency considerably.
There are many reasons to have a dev box local to the demonstration. Just because they wouldn’t deploy it that way in production doesn’t mean they wouldn’t deploy a demo in that same way.
If this was a tech demo, it tracks that they wouldn’t be using overpowered hardware. Why lug around a full server when they can just load up the software on a laptop, considering they weren’t expecting hundreds of invokes at the exact same moment.
That’s what I mean though. Convincing users to not use LLMs as a way to reduce CO2 is a fools errand. It will never work. So we should focus on something that can actually move the needle, like speeding up the move to a fully green grid.
Kings Quest? Poppy Playhouse?
Reducing CO2 emissions by not doing LLM slop is apparently off the table.
Not to be argumentative, but has this ever been something the consumer market has done with an emerging “core” technology? I don’t see how this was ever realistically on the table.
AI slop is an unfortunate fact of life at this point. If it’s inevitable, we may as well make it as not terrible as possible.
I’m sure there are some out there, but I doubt many could manage one on one.
Cool story.
The device isn’t sold to the child, it’s sold to the parent. There is zero similarity between a parent buying a phone and handing it to the kid unmonitored, and a bar selling a beer to a 13 year old.
The only time I have had issues with furry content was the early days of Lemmy where NSFW furry content was quite prevalent on most feeds.
I don’t actually care much, but when it was 30% of the feed it did get annoying…

No one in the comments seems to understand why this is relevant. This is the opposite of the normal pattern of prices dropping as time goes on, solely because of trumps tariffs.
This isn’t a “oh I’m not making enough money” situation, this is a “oh if I sell it for the current price I’m losing money” situation.
Could some of it also be corpo greed? Absolutely. But the core reason for the price increases is trump, and his republican lackies.
Don’t let them pawn off blame to the companies.
