I see this liquid software being the unavoidable future. A computer that just does stuff in whatever way you guide it, in whatever way you like guiding it. The models will keep getting better and faster up to the point where everything is just happening in real time, no OS no drivers no programs, just an entity that can listen to you and can move around bits to accomplish whatever you are trying to do. Wanna post on HN? Any way that you can code such an action, the computer can just manifest it for you, on the fly, however you want it.
I guess there will be some economics or physics constraints of reevaluating everything all the time.
What a dystopian future where your computer use will be basically “metered” by the token. At least right now we don’t have to pay per mouse clicks.
I can't imagine it worse that the current hell hole of SaaS, which is basically a way to withhold ownership while forcing you to pay for unwanted feature bloat, unnecessary redesigns, and strict dictation of how you can use the software.
Excel '98 probably covers 90% of excel users needs, but here we are sending Microsoft billions a month to lease excel.
Local inference solves that.
We used to pay for phone calls not long ago. Now a video call is free.
This doesn’t make sense. You mentioned OS and drivers, why send the commands to your hardware through the black box and extra hoops instead of directly doing so?
Do you believe the average person can afford the 1TB+ VRAM required to run a competent model?
