I'm in. What's next?

Invest in local and open source LLMs. They are not as advanced as proprietary ones, but we can all use them and define them as the standard. We don't need closed models

Use your brain to solve problems not a computer.

Local LLMs.

Krasis is one such tool that allows large models using blended GPU/RAM.

ik_llama for better performance than llama.

ComfyAI for local image generation.

Nanocrab seems better for orchestration. Still need a good system capability firewall.

Think how cheap its gonna be when everyone abandons the cloud providers and they start selling the 50B of hardware they over-invested in

I got 96GB of DDR5 ram 2y ago for $300.

Which now, 32GB goes for $300. Fucking insane. But prices will eventually come down as the enterprise and corpo scalpers realize AI is a losing deal for human replacement. Nvidia has already said as much.

This is hilarious but... and I can't believe Im actually giving critique here... but a modern day, LinkedIn version would be couched in words like "exceedingly complex", "multi-domain", "system of systems", etc.

But the whole thing is brilliant. And #GrowthMindset at the end is absolute gold.

I'll confess to only have skimmed TFA but I love this idea.

You pretty much nailed it. I can't even get outraged at any given instance now that the trendline is so staggeringly clear.

I can't see anyway this ends well for the US. I say this as both an American and a military veteran.

Never in history has an authoritarian ceded power without massive violence.

The dissolution of the USSR was not massively violent.

Frederick VII of Denmark, an absolute monarch, introduced parliamentarism without any violence or even broad public pressure.

And thats just what I can remember without digging.

Um. No, that's not how it works...

Oh my gosh. I was hoping that book had died a terrible death...

Best comment of the day. In three words no less...

> There is a lot of history of the first movers that created revolutionary products that eventually faded away into nothing, while others capitalized on the innovation.

I'd say most first movers fade away. Microsoft wasn't the first OS, Google wasn't the first search engine, Facebook wasn't the first social network... etc... etc... etc...
