I watched someone at a fortune 20 company get embarrassed for buying a Mac to run a 70B model in 2025.

He was a lead engineer, so after he announced it wasn't going to work, everyone pretended it never happened. But we all knew.

Sounds like a really rude workplace. Who cares if he wants to try running things locally?
