Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

no, you fuckers wandered into an anti-AI community and started jacking off about local models

It's a factual statement regardless of what you think of AI. People won't pay for something if the free option that can't be taken away from them is just as good.

Maybe that will at some point kill off the big overvalued companies

what the numbers show is that nobody gives a shit. nobody’s paying for LLMs and nobody’s running the models locally either, because none of it has a use case. masturbating in public about how invested you are in your special local model changes none of this.
