You see hot that's tangential to what you're replying to?

Ai is evil

LOCAL AI is not all evil

Computers are expensive

Your point is completely valid, but in another discussion.

    Sorry, but I think the point about local AI not necessarily being evil is the tangent here.

    The OP is about motherboard shortages, which is being driven by the big AI companies and is making hardware unaffordable for normal users

    The top level reply to that is about how that's bad because it removes the ability for people to be in control of their own computing

    Then someone comes in, saying "yeah, but you can host your own AI so that it's not evil so not all AI is bad"

    Then someone points out that you can only host your AI if you can afford the hardware to do so which, as the OP and the comment you replied to pointed out, is getting really hard to do.
