Some Oracle hr droid tried to hire me fresh out of university. It’s been “some” years, and I’ve never heard anybody saying that I was a fool for turning it down.

it uses a lot less energy since it runs on your home or company’s infrastructure.

A CPU-cycle requires energy no matter where it is. The open source models may be more efficient, or you may distribute the power usage over a greater geographical area. But you’re not using less energy because you’re running the model at home.

Because of that, I predict that we’re going to see a lot of financial hardship among AI companies.

I do like the idea that open source will kill tech giants.
