"Your Macs. Your AI."

Also, your power bills. Your data. Your privacy.

“When you want to run larger models, connect multiple machines over Thunderbolt 5 to pool unified memory on hardware you control', Claris said. It also says you can set up an endpoint on a single Mac — one of your Macs becomes an AI server for everyone else.

Well, that's one way to keep Big Tech in Europe.

So Google wants to lower the power costs by making homes more efficient instead of addressing its own data center crap? On the surface, I'd say it's laudable, but the reality is that Google should adapt to residents' needs by removing its monoliths from their midst instead of deciding that residents should adapt to its own demands.

“Helping families across the region make the home repairs they need to qualify for the State’s home energy rebates, and helping local organizations cut their utility costs, are practical ways to do that.”

Two interesting stories:

"The ChatGPT maker told investors Tuesday that its operating losses in the third quarter topped $10.9 billion, up from $10.1 billion in the previous one. That’s striking because the company actually grew its revenue by around 50 percent from the second to the third quarter, per the The Wall Street Journal, though it wasn’t enough to offset its astonishing expenses."

"Put simply, it’s a corporate and geopolitical fracas of epic proportions that could have lasting effects, not just on Nvidia, but the AI industry — and therefore the entire US economy — as a whole."

This is from yesterday. Apple is prostituting the Mac ecosystem to win the locally-run AI race. But that also helps AI companies to your local Macs and local resources without paying a dime, while the owner of the Mac and the end-user pays a subscription and ALL the bills. I'm sure that looks like a win-win situation. It isn't.
