Best part actually so far with clawd... is you can fuck off all reliance on providers and dickheads like anthropic (the ex nsa director is their coo or something i think?) or maybe that was chatgpt.
Either way the consequances of using cloud based compute and AI is catastrophic for the development and builders who use it... and by extension anyone who has a interest in gaming on the pc or even engaging in free speech.
The ram prices and gouging is going to hit so hard that the price of ram and vrams is probably going to go up indefinitely, on a exponential scale maybe and will outprice the consumer, placing it exclusively in the hands of moguls like Bezos who wants to have the planet rent their pc from him.
Consequnces and vision im envisioning sadly is we will be pushed towards a cloud compute future, albeit slowly then suddenly. The restrictions on cloud compute will be minor at first, it will be unlimited usage and fairly priced. Then the ToS (?) will change overnight and there will be rations on the amount of hours you can rent. (GeForce Now / NVIDIA) has already started to enforce this policy which is very disturbing.
"You will own nothing, and you will be happy." - perhaps our digital rights have been a target from the start too, along with our other rights.
Oh shit, what a rant, my bad 😅😂.
Ok so the tldr; use lmstudio and selfhost your AI. Invest in ram and vram like you invest in bitcoin. What use is bitcoin if your children and their children dont even have a pc to use bitcoin and freedom protocols on.
