This is what really gets me with AI and why its 1000% a bubble.
Putting aside all the ethical problems.
Putting aside the environment problems.
Putting aside how basically everyone hates it.
Lets say its popular and will take off etc.
Its all going to become more efficient enough you can run it all locally. Why are we trying to piss away zillions of dollars on data centers and these stupid companies, when 99.9% of uses will work with a model running locally on the GPU/NPU?

People who are focusing on consumer side ships and hardware (which I have been told Apple is) are going to be the big winners in the end.

This hasn’t been true of software in general. As better hardware becomes available, software has improved to take advantage of it. Also, the improvements in software have allowed the development of even better hardware, in a virtuous cycle.
