Agree with this.

MCP and RAG feel like the usual pattern of running a daemon 24/7 that balloons infrastructure spend. So uncivilized.

Any given REST API is a small model. A frontier or local model and modern harness can parse the already existing documentation for that REST API and invoke or generate a tool to use it.

So long as real logistics systems are isolated and secured what real risk to stable society is there?

Your use of the internet may lead you to greatly overestimate the number of people who take what they read online as real. More people than you think treat this shit, regardless of the website/forum, like Jerry Springer and Satuday Night Live; just entertainment.

The STEM crowd often overthinks the impact of violating their pet theory.

Can an LLM escape its computer entirely and stomp through a city center like a kaiju? Settle down.

You're veering towards thought policing over speculation.

Corporations will be given benefit of the doubt; ostensibly they have all of society in mind.

Individuals in isolation will be demonized for having only their singular interests in mind.

> Can we take this as an official statement that Nvidia supports local models?

Hedging against a data center bubble burst or at least massive pullback

Trivial for them to cut margin on desktop cards and clean up/prop up falling data center sales serving the hungry gamer, blockchain, local AI that's been sitting on its hands the last year or two

Nvidia is the PC ecosystem's best answer to Apple

"CIA? What's that? Sounds like some populist gibberish that makes no sense." -- An American in 1900.

You had it all figured out in your other reply to me. Will leave it as an exercise to your clearly brilliant mind.

That reads like one of those commonly held tropes that are not true. Like "back in my day it was possible to raise a family, buy a house, two cars and a boat on one salary." When the reality for the majority was both parents worked.

In the metro I live in of >2 million I have come across numerous men and women with their shit together at home and numerous men and women who live like feral dogs despite appearing at work with their shit together.

What does statistical analysis of society have to do with empirical neurological evidence of brain activity?

Replication crisis details ad nauseam how social psychology studies are only reproducible in 26-30% of cases. Almost all social sciences are worse than a coin toss. Including education.

What that says to me is social tropes as a basis for how we raise kids are massively out of alignment with how human biology relates to reality.

Women like Steinem argued against women being treated like concepts and objects by men (which I agree with).

But there is an irony in women using their biology's unique (relative to a mans) emotional and logical faculties to suggest they know best how men should behave.

If her actual point was we need to find the best means to support boys as we have with girls, sure. But "raise them like" does not readily communicate that nuance.

> “In my experience The Agency was completely different from its image; it was liberal, nonviolent and honorable.”

"was" doing some heavy lifting.

Nothing against Steinem specifically but seems pretty clear the elders tend to view their past with rose colored glasses

Imo the federal apparatus should be broken up and handed to states with a mandate to collaborate to avoid concentration of power
