  The numbers come from an overly simple way to level out trade deficits.

  So if I sell you $100 in goods and you sell me $120 dollars in goods, I’m “losing” money, therefore 20% tariff (tax to sell me something). In reality, you’re going to increase your prices and sell me $140 worth of the same stuff.

  All the AIs did was expand this to a global scale, what’s insane to me is that the math adds up. It doesn’t take an AI to do this though, some economics undergrad could come up with the same thing. Understanding the underlying methodology shows how it completely lacks nuance or understanding of how the world really works.

  Exactly my same thought, it’s just a smaller Mac Mini.

  Don’t mean to clutter the thread but it sounds like option 3 is the best user experience. Hyper privacy focused users are probably more likely to make their own instance or use another smaller one.

  Love the work you do, I appreciate it so much!

  If this is feasible, it sounds like an elegant solution. Does it work for the various mobile apps, or would each app need to do it on their end?
