Fixing anything in industry is like fighting a very big, very lazy elephant seal bull

The only real advantage of local AI is privacy and that it’s much cheaper if you use it a lot.

The only consumer use case I see in the wild with some real momentum behind it is role play.

All the local AI communities I browse are 50% people trying to find usecases for it at their job (like me; unsuccessfully I might add) and 50% people interested in role play.

People will apparently spend thousands to jerk off to a soulless machine demon simulacrum shell of a human.

To be fair, I can see the appeal of local AI for video games, like RPGs. There is this really fun game called “Suck Up”, where you are a vampire trying to convince AI to let you inside their house. That is the one real “killer” application I see atm.

I personally see a lot of other useful usecases for local AI, but from my experience at work, I would estimste it will take another 5 years until any of it is anywhere near consumer ready.

local AI is cool and all, but neither the hardware nor the models are really ready for your average consumer

I’m so glad to see X as a service fail miserably everywhere

Linglong lunar, what a name.

Sounds like a sterotypically Chinese woman in traditional dress in a neonoir cyberpunk story that takes place on the Moon. My name is “Linglong Luna”. She’s dating Don Lon from London.

This just in, Roblox is reportedly in talks with Kaminoans to pump out 100 million new Roblox users ever month, starting April 2027

Thanks. Never heard of that. Still tho, why the hell isn’t this a standard feature in every browser.

I don’t understand how mobile apps are still so limited compared to their desktop counter parts. Like I couldn’t even find a single browser that has any of the dev tools in any normal desktop browser. Especially infuriating since websites can just willynilly disable features like downloading images.

have you tried turning it off and on again again again?
