Those are very fair concerns. That’s also why I’m prioritizing local open source AI over big centralized datacenters.
- It doesn’t need water.
- It is private and doesn’t collect data.
- I pay my own electricity bills.
- Smaller models tend to me more efficient for simple tasks.
- I use RAM and hardware that I already owned before the AI bubble.
- I’m smart enough to understand that AI isn’t perfect and can be delusional.
While AI is still AI, it does make me feel better.

Thank you for your well constructed sarcastic comment, brother. It is astonishing how can some people can still praise AI companies publicly without feeling any shame.
