“There’s no point in personal computing consumer device, the compute can just be on a mainframe.”

Apologize for the allergic reaction to running something on somebody else’s computer. As much as I appreciate our connected world, I prefer my data and compute local and private.

There’s few things in this world that infuriate me on a daily basis more than a slow or lost internet connection.

Edit: grammar




While I appreciate the sentiment, the market of people like you who are ALSO unwilling to just purchase a GPU is probably miniscule.


The grandparent asked for 'a consumer box that can run "AI"', there's no reason to think they wouldn't accept a box that contains a GPU.


Oh, I don’t mind getting a GPU. I also don’t believe it’s right at the moment to build a machine just for AI activities.

I was commenting more on the idea to run AI in the cloud instead of on device.
