local setups are pointless if you have to wait 60 seconds for it to do anything |

self hosted llms are great for niche purposes (like they can basically solve the problem of Searching your OS being Awful), but those are going to be so small you won't need much to run them. |

Date: December 17th, 2025 1:57 PM Author: godawful area liquid oxygen you don't need frontier models for specialized use cases like that though, there's already been crazy progress with stuff like qwen3-vl. I'm talking about the dweebs trying to run 500b-1T parameter models at 30 tokens/s or whatever locally just to do the same shit they would use chatgpt for (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5811364&forum_id=2Firm#49516951) |

Date: December 17th, 2025 2:06 PM Author: Thriller windowlicker national For coding there's no reason to do it locally. You need extra RAM just for the long ass context windows coding requires.
For anything else there are good reasons to keep it off the cloud and not have it linked to your credit card |

Date: December 17th, 2025 1:38 PM Author: Cocky mediation they are going to keep neutering frontier models until the only thing they are able to do is blurt out that white people are evil and make porn videos and boomer bait AI slop
imo the best argument against investing in a local setup is that hardware will keep getting better - but now that commercial hardware access is getting rugpulled, i'm starting to seriously worry |

Many contracts require them to literally shred the equipment they lease, rather than resell it. Huge black market opportunity.

The old shit that's getting decommissioned will be stripped for VRAM, and the new stuff is all HBM and not suitable for home use.

Date: December 17th, 2025 2:12 PM Author: Rough-skinned potus seems unlikely that llms can do pure math (they can and score better on many metrics than most experts) but not Biglaw considering pure math and theoretical physics is exponentially more difficult. I think you guys are just pretending it can't for ego purposes. Are you sure you guys aren't just expecting some perfect output in one prompt or something instead of using it to make several different processes and tasks much easier in a way that compounds to basically not having to try anymore?
