It's actually hilarious to only read on this page intermittently, after not engaging for like 3 weeks I'm presented with 3 new product names that all read like a comedian wrote their marketing. The blatant disregard for security and privacy to push out something most developers have utter disrespect for, I really wonder what the target audience is, cause I cannot relate one bit.
When you come to hn you're inundated with people whose entire lives seem to be using it, when I go to the bar and see non-tech people they're using it as psychiatrists or for recipes or have no idea how to incorporate it into their life and joke about how stupid it is.
I feel very far ahead of this stuff, I went through and built my local llm stack (omlx/pi) 3-4 months ago and haven't touched it much other than to try the recent qwen3.8 and its coming out too fast to keep up with and test etc. I have to download 40gb model files to test each release to go back to my old setup. It's not fun to work on at all. Tweak to hell to get a 10 token bump.
It makes me really wish I could see inside the office of a frontier company, but I don't want to feel like I play tech on a stressed out pro sports team right now. I can't imagine doing infra/systems for these companies is fun.
This stuff is going to get so many peoples systems hacked, we already have that clickfix malware everywhere convincing people to turn on llms in their terminals on a webpage error. Just give them a dot engine and let loose.
