Let me just answer this part

Is it really feasible to run it 100% locally? I know there’s plenty of people with very powerful rigs indeed, but still. Or are 99% of these people really saying “it would, in theory, be possible to run that locally, therefore your concerns are invalid”?

Yes absolutely, and you don’t even need an extremely powerful machine. Basic text generation will work on a macbook pro. If the hardware prices were at normal levels, buying a machine for 2-3k USD/EUR and self-hosting powerful models would be feasible. Right now the same hardware will run you about 10k, that why I don’t think it’s practical at this moment.

However training is where the real cost lies. It’s pretty much impossible to train a model from 0 on anything resembling a personal machine. First you need all the data, measuring in millions of terabytes. And then you need to train the model on all of that.

On a side note - I once tried training a GPT2 replica on my laptop with about 3GB of random text. The estimated time was 3 months. That’s the level of requirements we’re talking about.

A lot of OSM data actually comes from public domain data provided by various governmental entities. So the quality of maps will strongly depend on the availability of such data.
In the US, individual states are responsible for publishing that data, so you will see much variation.

Details about businesses and opening hours are user-generated almost always, so that aspect depends very much on an active community. And of course traffic jams are detected by tracking user phones. OSM will (hopefully) never do that.

Another good one, but dude are you spending your entire meme archive in one day?

The inquisition didn’t officially recognize witchcraft as real, that was mostly civilian courts.
However if you had any … ideas … about Christianity and God that didn’t follow the official church line. How do you feel about early versions of waterboarding?

If the Chinese could have handled it well, so could have the Russians.
