Hey, guys, how about you... I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out - made some products that provide actual value to the customer?

nope, now time to devote 30 percent of your silicon microchips to a very niche set of algorithms that are only ever run on server farms anyway (because how else could they farm your data otherwise?)

I mean, most of the AI buzz is from the people creating/selling the AIs, so....yeah, makes sense.

Also: you can't personally buy a pc that can run a meaningful AI. They won't even sell the high-VRAM GPUs to you.

Pretty sure this is a shit way for companies to not invest in their own electrical consumption and just spread the power across everyones device and throwing shit claims about performance around.

I mean if the future is everyone using ai all the time, I'd rather it be on device thn in a datacenter. At least on-device you get some semblance of choice in how you do things.

Do you thought?

I rebooted my PC yesterday to see copilot get installed when I never confirmed it, approved or accepted anything about it being forced on my hardware.

It was easy to remove and get policies to block it, but still.

Hence why I said "some semblance". At least you get the hardware to run your own thing, as opposed to it only being available if daddy Altman likes you enough

So people aren't flocking to by new computers that are marginally faster than their old one, promise nebulous AI features that older computers can do since most AI is cloud based, and have a Copilot key?

Weird right?
