Also from that post:

> Models you can run yourself are toys.

Now I may be old, but whenever we put a lot of faith in unaccountable megacorps it sure seems to have backfired a lot (remember when Amazon removed 1984 from people's libraries?). As long as a model running locally on a regular laptop bought from the supermarket isn't good enough I'm gonna remain sceptical about current AI.

There's also ethical and environmental considerations, but let's see if we can walk before we try to run.
