unless you’re ok with what you get out of today’s models on dedicated consumer GPUs
This is all I use, mostly for quickly putting together personal software and doing linux stuff, it doesn’t feel limiting and is already really powerful. A lot of the stuff those models struggle with can be overcome by giving better context and more specific instructions, and that can be automated, so they should become more useful as harness software advances, independently of advancements in the models themselves. Maybe I have a limited perspective because I just haven’t tried the frontier models, but developing a dependence on services run by malevolent companies that obviously intend to use that dependence as leverage is deeply unappealing, and I’m not sure what they could offer to make that seem worth it on top of what I can already do with my own computer.












That community is on my block list for years so take this with a grain of salt since I know nothing about its current state, but video is a horrible format for news. It takes longer to skim, you can’t copy paste quotes or quickly confirm that something someone quotes or mentions is actually an accurate reflection of the video, there is less substance and what is there is likely to be more about evoking emotion than presenting information and ideas. Sometimes footage of an event is relevant, but usually that works way better embedded in the context of a text article. For a speech or interview, a transcript is more useful.
