>it really doesn't need to be local

I urge you to reconsider this attitude. If AI has a tenth the significance people claim, you're signing away your life; your ideas, your privacy, your very sovereignty of mind, all under someone else's control and revocable at any moment. Don't move your brain to the cloud.

Imagine an alternate timeline where we never had personal general purpose computers, only dumb terminals to access corporate servers on subscription. Don't vote for that world with your wallet, today.

Don't be a cloudhead!
