There are a lot of things in my toolchain pre-AI that I did not own and relied on to make a living. Mobile developers are in even worse shape, and iOS developers doubly so. The idea we were somehow less beholden before AI, I think, is silly.

None of us can wholly do our trades without support. Local inference is a fun idea, but you'll be out-competed by the serfs, as you call them.
