Its actually a really old claim about machines in general, some old poet or something back in the black and white times said about the animal kingdom and plant kingdom that they would witness the emergence of a new machines kingdom that will one day be as accepted as the other kingdoms of life.

Well that's great news. Does that mean the qwen3.8nextFlash I just installed will build me GTA6 by Christmas?

Who's wee? The name of the system?

He did have a great memory and skill for social engineering.

Or buy a T-shirt that says.. WWND - and ask yourself.. What would Neo do? /s

I think this reads like Ray Kurzwheil (sorry not able to spell that off top of my head, that bloke who wrote that book about the future) .. But yeah very dystopian and totally realistic. Not if but when..

The skyline was inspired by north east England, Middlesbrough Teesside. ICI was one of the largest chemical sites in the world. Ridley Scott had studied at Teesside Polytechnic and took inspiration from the Imperial Chemical Industries that over looked Middlesbrough. One side of the skyline in the area you see towers and smoke billows and roaring flames, the other picturesque north Yorkshire moors and Odins Mount. Quite a contrast.

I think the next 6 month will be a golden age for inference. The weights will be available for anyone to download from hugging face which could create a price fall once providers start competing for your business.

Except the devices are not dangerous. Its the software installed on the device. Consumers have a choice. Pay for the trusted Apple TV or Amazon firestick, or go the wild west and see what's on offer.

Reading through these comments, I can't tell any more whats bots posting on behalf of the AI providers trying to dissuade or whether people just have had negative experiences with local ai models. IMO, Qwen 3.6 27B 8k quants running on a Mac Studio 64g ram, incredible?. No it is not frontier general super shit, its just good. That's it, its good. Its free and private and can take an experienced engineer from being lazy to being really lazy, and that's magic right there. I use llama.cpp and opencode and have great moments of planning some code changes, and letting it run. Walk away. Chill in the hamoc, clean the dishes, have a wank, whatever. Use tmux and ssh in and check in on it. THIS is where the incredible comes in. Anyone telling you otherwise, well check their motives. I have no skin in the game. I just have an easy lazy time.

Not my experience at all. Mac Studio 64g, running Qwen2.7b 8K. Took ten minutes to get up and running, just read some documentation, Unsloth literally walks you through it. For Opencode just edit one file and its good to go. Have not had any issues (besides the occasional LLM related one). Not extremely manual and clunky at all.

Yes. Have and did. Also something I thought would be useful, I showed them codex and pay a subscription. Another time later I sat down with them and done a code repo walk through. This time without codex and refactored the codebase, talking through refactoring and modularity and explaining the limitations of prompt driven development. I believe we are at a unique time for learning and those who are curious enough and have the attention for it will find new joys in learning to write software and understand systems. We live in a system so learning how to write programs becomes a way to start seeing systems. Ie. Critical thinking, the gold standard!

Valid point but what else can you use? They/them ?
