Goddamn Dell of all companies is the only one that seems to get it. I'm shocked.

Welcome to the world outside of your own ass, Dell. The air is fresher out here.

The TPU is not for you, it’s for tech companies to surveil, train, and exfiltrate your data at every level of the stack from hardware to application in a “secure” fashion. The “features” they proscribe feel forced because they are - they exist to make it seem like you’re getting the next new thing, when really the features that you actually want (like an ad-free experience and a local Windows account) have been so enshitified to hell that they functionally no longer exist.

• The hardware manufacturer gets to sell you extra hardware you don’t want.

• The OS vendor gets to run classification on all of your pictures, documents, and software.

• The browser vendor gets to see every site you visit and when, every product you buy, and every porn site you watch.

• Then, it all gets trained into a personal model that is cryptographically tied to your hardware and identity that can be queried at any time by tech companies, data brokers, advertisers, and law enforcement.

What YOU get is to ask a finders-fee-biased chatbot which product to buy, maybe some shitty mental health care, and a sycophantic buddy to patronize your ego. AI is the ultimate surveillance and advertising device.

Thank fucking God.

And so it begins?

Enterprise has spoken

These AI PCs/Notebooks aren't even able to run the really big models. For those you'd need a 5000$ card. And for the smaller models a good graphics card is often enough.

For a real AI PC we would need new technology or graphics cards with more ram (the last one would suprise me with current ram prices)

Almost nobody takes advantage of all the AI features they offer, Dell realized this

Do NPUs/TPUs even work with ComfyUI? That's the only "AI PC" I'm interested in.
