To me, the only thing that is clear is that everything is unclear

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.

Not sure if you’re anti-AI or something, but I intend to use chatbots. To me, it is now like this: local > claude > everything else

I know which AI chatbot to use now. Thank you Donald!
