>>76464Yah, so about that reliance on Big Tech AI. That is not such a great idea being so reliant on a ponzi business model that is losing tons of revenue because of the amount of energy consumption LLMs use up, all which costs A LOT of money and is which is dependent on dirt cheap abundant energy. Especially today with the Israel vs Iran Middle East wars & crisis making fuel prices skyrocket. These Big Tech AI firms are not making any money using up so much costly energy allowing anyone to use it at their own expense anymore. It is a massive market bubble that is currently going BANKRUPT.
Here is some good news for you. The future for AI is NOT Big Tech or big data centers (half of which have been stalled for years or canceled outright!) The future is local open-source AI that individuals run on their own power PCs. There are already open-source alternative LLMs, like Deep Seek, Qwen, Brighteon, Kimi, Jan, Ollama et al. Although power PCs are very expensive, you need at least 64GB of RAM and a high powered CPU to run local LLMs which can cost up to $5,000 per computer. Plus the energy bill costs of running these locally.
