@alex@gotosocial.theonecurly.page @vie@hachyderm.io I think you need to separate the tool from the hardware store. For example, there are an increasing number of models that one can self-host. My employer will only permit the use of self-hosted models for confidentiality reasons (confidentiality of their own, and their customers’ data). For personal use — my computers tend to be scavenged from remainder sales and dumpster-diving (found a marvelous 17-inch laptop in an e-waste bin the other day, only ten years old!) — I’ve chosen to rent from Anthropic (a single new PC purchase would cover five to ten years of subscription fees). Yes, you can use these tools wrong — a thumb and a board look much the same to a consumer table saw; measure thrice cut twice is an easy habit to slip into — but that’s up to the carpenter, not the tools.
