So LLMs are simultaneously making new hardware unaffordable, while also making old hardware usable again.

That too sounds like an actually good development all things considered. For the planet, anyway. And with the big caveat of that cloud tether, though just for scaffolding.

Thanks for sharing, maybe it's time to buy some more old Kindles... I use bunch as smart paintings (with changing pictures generated locally with stable diffusion), and of course Home Assistant dashboard. They are awesome little machines.

This is interesting. Maybe add a couple examples of generated stories.

Please. There are so many human stories out there—read those.

unlesss it's for children, just read books.

and if it is for your child, read them books.

Please don't raise your kids on AI slop. They'll grow up without knowing anything else.
