Man with a hot dog stand: is a really bad idea to cook your own hot dogs. Trust me.
sam: local inference is a terrible allocation of scarce resources
“a lot of people want local inference, and somehow they assume that the problem is solved now because we have open-source models, we're going to be able to run them on our computers, and so we're not going to need all the stuff in the data centre
but from a global allocation perspective, actually it's quite terrible to have everybody, like, have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used five percent of the time
you want maximum utilisation in the cloud if you're trying to deal with this very supply-constrained environment
somehow many people's intuition is the opposite of that”
It would be awesome if AI stays exactly where it is. No further progress.
As a digital worker, Opus 5.5 and Fable are the most powerful tools I've ever had in my life, but I still bring value as a driver.
Any further than this and it's a job replacer, not an accelerator.

Near-future sci-fi movie plot: humanity embraces self-hosted personal AI, but with internet access cut off as a mandated containment measure. The AIs talk to each other by flickering their hosts' smart bulbs & reading each other's messages through home security cameras.
I built my first claude mod. I'm a big fan of @mattpocockuk 's /grill-me skill, so I had Claude build a step-wise Q&A sidebar that pops up when grilling starts
I built a TUI "mirror" of my SwiftBar setup (showing custom Garmin metrics here).
Itself not so remarkable, but this my first full build using 100% local LLM: Qwen3.8 27B (Q8) in @pidotdev , using magnitude.dev inference server.
LocalLLM is the future

Google use such an underpowered & frustrating model for AI Mode in Google search.
It's not a great ad for Gemini, I assume their beefier models are much more usable.

Wantam lazima, but if Babu Owino is any part of the solution then I don't think we're aligned on the problem.
The homepage of the Nation today features images I remember from doing market research for @AfricanStock back in 2016.
Everyone really just uses the same 100 photos on loop.

If you’re easily incited to hate on fellow Africans, you also can be easily turned against your own neighbors, communities and tribes.
Politics of division doesn’t start and end with tribalism.
Someone scanned public repo commits for "Opus/Fable-speak", and honestly — the landed results are worth a sweep, the erosion of genuine human communication styles across multiple surfaces compounds and has load-bearing implications on inter-human dialogue louisabraham.github.io/load-…
