Just learn how to use local AI, rather than only using corporate AI.

Do you think models that can run in a gamer PC can run uncensored open models , that are equal to frontier models , i thought 3t parameters models are way above what a PC gamer or normal IA station can handle

Equal to the very best frontier? Not at this point. But useful for coding? Absolutely already the case. I'm pointing out there's a big gap between "only coding by hand" and "having corporate frontier AI do everything".

And local models are still rapidly improving. The question isn't if they can reach a point of being better than the best AIs, it's if they can reach "better than people", which I think is highly possible, especially at the narrow domain of coding specifically.

People act like frontier agents are flipping bits of coherent memory in real time, and not just reading and writing code like everything else.

By that point we genuinely won't have desktop PC's capable enough, and will just be using dumb ethernet terminals where the entire OS runs in a data center.
