Few realize that the AI hype is closely linked to the war on personal computing. This is the ultimate push into the cloud, and these companies will always be able to pay more for a GPU, RAM or SSD than you do. If this succeeds, we will never own significant hardware anymore and rent everything from their servers. Be it movies, music, video games or office documents.

This cuts to the heart of it. The 'AI needs cloud scale' narrative conveniently ignores that local LLMs run on consumer hardware now. The real play isn't compute - it's data gravity. Once your documents, habits, and workflows live on their servers, you're locked in. Same playbook as SaaS, just wearing a different mask. The antidote is what we're building here - sovereign tech stacks where you own the iron AND the intelligence.
Torrents are alive and well ๐Ÿ˜‚ Agreed. If it was downloadable I would take that ram too
