Who has decided to let these nerds run wild? We the people really need to pull the leash on these dorks.

He’s getting nervous because modern tech is making the LLMs easier to run at home. MoEs with intelligent routing can be amazing on well equipped gaming machines. On my AMD 7900XT with 64GB RAM (all purchased before the RAMpocalypse) using Strata I can run Qwen 3.8 Flash Next a 90GB 125b parameter model with 256k context size and get between 30 and 40 tokens per second. Strata and probably similarly FreeToken have been absolute game changers.

This guy has become terrible at hiding what his true intentions are. The CEOs want to deny people power so they can hold it over others. It will not work, and local models under 100B are already capable of automating some very powerful tasks.

Because then they have all the power. This is all about power. LLMs make PCs vastly more powerful and can create independence from service companies across the economy. We could each have a team of hyper competent professionals for all service industries that deal with information. Businesses, don’t like that. Instead, they want to control all access to that power and use it to position themselves as the most powerful. Much like communism, they too will seize the means of information production for their individual empowerment while simulationeously disempowering everyone else. If we were smart monkeys, we’d start hording computer parts en masse so we have a stockpile of resources to invest in our own group empowerment until we can overcome the hardware access limitations they are artificiality creating to reduce competition for control of this technology. It’s all a fucking scam by a small group of extremely selfish monkeys, to take all the bananas and ration that access to control all the other monkeys. It’s all about power and I wish we were smarter and more united to peruse our collective interests over their private ones.

Funny how »global allocation efficiency« always ends with everyone renting access from the company whose CEO wants to do the allocating. Local AI offers privacy, independence, and no monthly tollbooth. Apparently the real waste of RAM is letting people control what they own.

Would the planet be better off if everyone ran their own models locally and bypassed data centers? Seems like it would, but there may be other factors.

I will never, pay for Open AI. I might, in some future, pay for Claude, but not OpenAI. But also very much probably not on Claude either.

Hey everybody, Definitely don’t buy a 24GB Tesla P40 GPU on eBay for $350. Also please don’t use Gemma 4 on it for 3 parallel sessions with frontier intelligence. Also don’t install Tailscale and Open Web UI to get the exact same user interface and usability on the go. Thanks, Sam A

Somebody kill this cunt on camera and threaten everyone profiting from it that they’re next and man it. People like him deserve to suffer just for our amusement. That’s the livestream I would actually tune into. Make it a double feature with Trump. We skip trials when literally everyone already has the evidence.

This guy is really trying to piss people off with his stupid fucking ideas and acting like he should lead humanity into his vision of the future. Apparently Facebook forbids saying you hope someone gets a disease, gets killed by a natural disaster, dies without a specific perpetrator or method, or gets smited by a deity or absence thereof…no joke. Anyway, I don’t want to step on the wrong side of our cyberlords /s so I’ll just say this: Fuck Sam Altman. I hope he sees that no one likes him, his ideas are dumber than AI generated slop, his parents left his stroller in the sun too long, and I hope he eats some South American beef.

I don’t think he deserves the money he is hoarding, which is a bit worse. If we wish to right things we should take his money then we can figure out how to get him some additional tech.

The problem isn’t the AI, the issue is that the elites are trying to horde it and keep it from us little people. If we are to have agency, having personal ownership over local AI, collectively owned AI, and regulations, are all key to ensuring that democracy and egalitarianism is secure. The elite will not willingly surrender power, especially there is a void that they can colonize. Ordinary people like us should fill the vacuum, to deny the elite from having total control over AI.

I mean, he has a point. Hardware is used way more efficiently in the data center, and any sort of deficit is best resolved in a centralized system due to more efficient resource allocation. The same setup could be used like 2 hours a day for your personal needs, or 24 hours a day to serve many people. THAT SAID, their greed and unsatiable desire to make the number go up by hooking us into subscription economy with ever rising costs is what led us here and it leaves us with little choice but to accept the less efficient way and host these things ourselves. Remember the times not so long ago when self-hosting was an enthusiast hobby instead of necessity? Barely anyone non-geeky bothered with it, because what existed served people well. Now, having to build our own services remains the only sane choice, and the only way out of the nightmare Sam, among others, has built with his own hands.

It is clear as day to me that AI compute is a commodity. Open models are basically equal to the proprietary models now and while running these models locally is still too expensive to be reasonable, this won’t be the case forever. There IS a market for what the two big US AI firms are doing, but it is quite limited. Sophisticated businesses will want to keep all of their work-product inside of their networks, just for security reasons, even if they don’t care about runaway compute costs.
