it very well might. You can get impressive models running locally on a laptop with 16 gigs of ram and an out of date graphics card. That leaked memo from google saying that they have no moat (and neither do any other ai conpanies) seems to be correct.

Right. It’s not our AI. It’s Google’s AI. It doesn’t work for us anymore than Facebook does.

There to spy and sell you shit. It’s not your friend but a high tech used car dealer.

It does make me wonder how far could we push self-hosted models. Speech to text by itself is already doable faster than real-time with a 1070 using OpenAI’s whisper model. Maybe in 10 years from now it will be trivial to have a self-hosted AI personal assistant? It doesn’t need to do absolutely everything right or blazingly fast to be useful enough for day-to-day house and work assistance.
