Thing is, we WILL allow it to be, most people are not on the fediverse or session/signal/simpleX, they don’t give a shit about their privacy. Techbros, or corporations don’t really need 100% of the people to be on board for this to become mainstream, and hell, while i choose not to use it, AI is creeping into even my banking and online shopping apps, I also can’t even look up something to buy without logging in now, so every single search I do is tracked. There’s no other option for online shopping in my country that even comes close to that one, so you default to using it.
I don’t know what a NAS is, but yes, local AI is something I’d really like to get into (can’t atm due to money, but i will when I can save up) I think this will become so much more of a productive way to work that while we won’t be “forced” directly into it, we will end up picking it up in one way or another in order to stay competitive, get a proper salary for food housing and health yknow?






Cost aside, what worries me is your every thought (or an approximation) will end up written down forever in some database tied to your identity. I don’t mean absolutely every single human being on the planet earth will use AI to be competitive, but I do think it will be to such a high degree that it will feel like everyone is using AI to stay competitive.
I’d say, “virtually everyone”. For some time I’m sure you can keep up, but over time, let’s say 10 years for example, I do believe people who never use LLMs will be on a way worse competitive position than the people who use AI. Prob way earlier than 10 years tbh
