The problem is will the big ai companies siphon it all up before consumers even get a chance?

Just as long as the CEO’s name isn’t Robert House, I guess

All the people dying from side effects of radiation wasn’t enough proof that an atomic weapon was used?

Because if you’re well versed at something you can use ai at a more nuanced level.

>Now you don't need to understand the details of connecting to Stripe or Auth0 or setting up a Kubernetes cluster.

Ehhh, if you're smart you want to at the very least gloss over the details, and look at the code being generated by whatever model you're using for this solution.

You can offload the vision projector to CPU/sysRAM

As far as I know, there isn’t an interface like nvlink that allows these macs to work in tandem; they would just send their data over ethernet, maybe thunderbolt/usb-c?

Using OpenVINO and a supported model can get you surprisingly far...

Just a crazy catch 22, it seems

From what I gather, the Chinese are behind, but a lot of their research amounts to scrappy, clever discoveries in how to use more novel technologies (for Qwen and Deepseek, its mixture of expert models, that can do inference using a portion of the model at a time). The chinese also distill information from American models, so there’s that.

The American companies, from my impression don’t involve themselves with such lowly “hacks” because they have so much money to just push forward with doing everything on big heavy models that run on the most cutting edge nvidia chips that they can, the moment, kinda sorta get on demand (I say that in some degree of jest).

I’m think its in our best interests to lever these american ai companies to exhibit at least some degree of freedom and transparency anyway we can…

Google at least still releases open source models to the public.

When people in NYC are driven out of their neighborhoods because of gentrification, they generally move down south. There isn’t some magical part of town that they can afford with their “current budget”

Any program created by the US government can be captured and handicapped, like has been done to the USPS.

Also, the Postmaster General was on Capitol Hill today saying how this time next year the service won’t be able to afford delivering to all addresses in the US.
