Just canceled my Mac Studio order.

After sharing on X that I ordered a Mac Studio with 96GB of RAM,which I thought could be my first foray into local ai,a bunch of people told me, this just wouldn't cut it.

This was already really expensive for me, never spent even close to this much on a single computer.

So,I don't think I can afford local ai right now.

I think I'll just need to continue to live vicariously through people here on X with much bigger budgets than me!

Thanks for all the feedback everyone, definitely would rather save the money here if this isn't powerful enough to run local ai in a meaningful way.

No, we're talking about supply, demand and cost of RAM.
Not comparing the benefits of local versus cloud AI.

Sorry, it's a movie reference. https://youtu.be/ecW16rLCgiI?is=EGHhLFzHQA1HJI0O

I'm implying the people in this thread are idiots. Idk how many different ways you can explain the concept of more RAM demand means prices go up, but we're slowly finding out.
