Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I'm not sure what Kobold is? However there's loads of different models that you can run locally - hugging face has a good selection: https://huggingface.co/models

I agree that you really want to run AI for personal use yourself - which does require certain minimum hardware specs. If these new laptops with AI emblazoned all over don't offer specialised processing units for AI, then what do they offer? Surely they can't just be boasting about being able to call some third-party's API?
